Why don't they recreate the anime series U good animation ?

Post by shonenhikada » Sun May 10, 2015 4:36 am

Anyone ever wonder why they don't redo the series in this art style ? It would be quite good and might draw people back just to rewatch it if it was like this.

I'm referring to the good animation we get in a few episodes that then suddenly changes style in the next episode.

Example:

It would cost far more money than Toei is willing to spend on something that they've already animated once before, and probably wouldn't actually draw in many more viewers than Kai did.

It would be beyond redundant. The artstyle Toriyama provides for the series drastically changes over the years, and you can't expect them to just stick to one style. And besides, Toei are way too cheap to do such a thing like this. That's why they went with Dragon Ball Kai.

Toei Animation isn't the one company that funds these series.

Anyway, it's impossible to do that. Animators don't always want to draw a certain way, they like having the variety of options presented to them. Also, it's not possible for everyone to draw the same. To get even just one episode to look like the Kamehame-Ha scene from Dragon Ball Z Episode #31 would require Hisada Kazuya to draw for a good five or six months.

Think of it as an investment. People were already drawn back into series by a simple removal of fillers, and redubbing of the series. This sparked and drew in even more fans. Now imagine how much money on box sales,fans and popularity would come if the series actually looked like this each episode:

Also the argument that artist don't like doing a particular style is kind of weak. Many people hate their jobs and doing things a certain way but that shouldn't stop them from fulfilling the request and sucking it up. I think doing this would actually be a really good way to revive the series popularity and/or improve the shows relevance to new generation even without the movies being made.Similar to how simply recoloring the manga has caused tons of people to rebuy the same manga they already have.

Hisada has no reason to do any of that. He's a character designer and chief animation supervisor for One Piece now, he has no reason to spend months of his life Dragon Ball again in the exact manner he did twenty years ago. Hell, he isn't even as good an animator as he was twenty years ago. Even then Hisada wasn't that great, either.

The reason people like Japanese animation is because the staff create what they want how they want. Forcing someone to work in a particular box kills that layer of brilliance that was so beloved in the first place.

Because they already did Kai and redrawing the anime now with a new series on the horizon wouldn't make sense. I'd love it if they did, don't get me wrong. But it won't happen for the reasons of time and money.

They'll remake it in fifty years; the catch is it will still be a Toei TV production full of cheapness. It'll just be shorter cheapness because they're not working against the comic.
