I will just re-post what I said on DBZF..
me wrote:EoZ Goku is probably my favorite design for Goku, DB/Z or GT.

I don't like EoZ Goten. Looks too much like Yamcha, I prefer GT Goten's look for adult/teen Goten.

Trunks looks ok.

Vegeta looks ok.

Krillin looks too old.

Gohan looks the same besides his clothes.

Remember that Goten and Trunks had casual wear before the tournament. Generally, I think they all look better in casual wear(especially Vegeta), though we don't know what casual four-year-old Pan looks like.

As for Goku's gi, I think it's just burnout from the orange. I definitely like it, and to a small extent his GT outfit(which is pretty much just a color swap), but he could have been wearing pretty much anything new and it would've been a sight for sore eyes, kind of like his JSAT/Super handkerchief khaki farmer thing. GT's fourth ending teasing the the End of Z gi was a kick in the nads.

Vegeta's best look, honestly, is in GT; post-mustache.

Well, we did get to see her in some casual clothes in Neko Majin Z 5.

Only Goku, Vegeta and Trunks have decent EOZ designs, in my opinion. Everyone else looks just... bland and/or old.

I'm not a fan at all of the way Bulma looks at the end of Z.

End of Z Goten is one of my favorite designs in the manga period. Even if we don't go past EOZ for Super, I would want Goten to hit his growth spurt so he can at least look close to his EOZ design. It's just so cool imho. I wish I could see him
(Officially) turn SSJ with that hair style.

Goku's EOZ gi is awesome too. Wish it was around longer.

Vegeta and Trunks look great as well. Vegeta especially looks badass on that black jacket.

Everyone else? Not bad, but could be better imho

Meh.
No, I do as well. I think it's rather fitting for her considering that they were all starting to age. The hair was nice as well in my view.

I tend to like most of her designs apart from the afro look at the start of the Cell Saga.

You know what, I've never made the connection, but now that you mention it, Goten's hair DOES look a bit Raditz-y in Nekomajin Z... o_o I guess there really is a family resemblance, whether Goku would care to admit it or not.

lol Goten's hair looks nothing like Raditz's. Raditz had a widow's peak like Vegeta.

Gine's hair looks like Neko Majin Z's Goten's.

Goten looks lame. Gohan looks worse. Goku looks good. I love Videl's hair. Bulma is fine. And...Vegeta in any kind of jacket reminds me of...

Goku and Goten look good, the rest I don't really care for at all.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I find it nice that Goku's EoZ gi is blue, like the clothes he wore at the very beginning of the series.
It must be a coincidence, but I like it anyway.

I actually enjoyed most of the EoZ designs, I loved Vegeta's (tournament) and Goku's clothes and IMO they were the best in the series. Not a fan of how Bulma looked, probably my only complaint.

A widow's peak is the hairline not the actually hair itself. Just a correction.

- Goku has his best gi (not couting with GT one which is my favourite)
- Goten finally stopped looking like Goku and got his own haircut. And really good one! Being the same one than Gine just makes me love it more.
- Pain has a great design.
- Gohan and Videl looking good.

The rest don't tell me much. Vegeta battle outfit is horrible though.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I like that Gohan wears glasses and civilian clothes, yet doesn't look weak like in more recent portrayals.
