What if Sunrise or Madhouse had the rights of Dragonball

Post by Periskir » Fri May 15, 2015 1:46 pm

What would you think if studio Madhouse or Sunrise had the rights of Dragonball? I believe that the results would be great considering of anime of these studios (Code Geass, Claymore, Death Note, DMC etc) and also that Toei Animation is infamous for its drawnings. Your opinion??

The animation on average would be much better. And... that's pretty much it.

It'd be a hell of a lot more faithful to the source material if they had done the original anime too. Soundtrack would be a step down, however, Kikuchi is too good.

Do you mean Battle of Gods? 'Cuz Resurrection "F" is the best I have seen Dragonball animated in a long time, and it has the more of the 3D aspects you mentioned.

I honestly think the new animation since BOG has ben really good. And I've heard that Ressurection F has some of the best animation the franchise has seen in many years.

I really really don't like the way faces are drawn Dragonball. Angular-triagular eyes and fried-potato-like eyebrows I know that the style of mangaka cannot change but i believe that other studios can "improve" it somehow in some way... Eg. the difference of styles Yugioh between two studios... -it's the only example i can remember now-...

With Sunrise, it depends on what studio you are referring to.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

We would've not had the Kikuchi score, Nozawa's Goku and Hidenori Arai's sound effects. I don't want to lose so many iconic things only in exchange for superior animation.

Why not? It was Toriyama who picked her after all, not the studio.

Are sound effects related to the studio?

It's not that he voluntarily chose her. Nozawa attended the audition held by Toei and Toriyama chose her after hearing her performance. If it's not Toei, maybe they could've not given any audition from the beginning.

No, but they chose Arai because he did for Dr. Slump.

This topic might as well be "What if Toei Animation Didn't Dick Around With Dragon Ball". The concept really isn't any different, given Toei Animation very well could do a great series or movie. Sunrise isn't much better than Toei Animation currently is, anyway. They have multiple series and OVAs in the works, all of which have had rushed production schedules, too. Madhouse rarely has great fight scenes in their long running series, either. I wouldn't even say the directing in their long-running series is better than what Toei Animation has pulled off, either. Hunter x Hunter had poor use of mood, music and lighting and the recent Hajime no Ippo: Rising was a poorly cobbled together rush job with the most putrid music placement I've heard since Dragon Ball Kai.

The animation would be better, art would probably be more consistent, and presumably they'd do it in seasons or something instead of having filler, but I get the sense that it would feel less charming, somehow. If there's one thing Toei's actually pretty good at it's bringing out the innate charm of a series, which isn't really a quality I associate with Madhouse or Sunrise.

The Fate shows (assuming you mean Zero and Unlimited Blade Works) are animated by Ufotable, which isn't affiliated with Madhouse or Sunrise.

I really wish that sometime in the future Dragonball change future to be drastically improved/upgraded... It would be an interesting change i believe.

No, that was done by Nippon Television. JulieYBM is specifically referring to the Madhouse 2011 anime adaptation.

He linked this on Twitter, so it should pretty much cover what he means:
