I agree, I'm not so sure why they decided to drastically alter Piccolo's appearance in GT..

Okay, I don't understand, are you being facetious or is there really something different about GT Piccolo? I can't see anything and it's driving me nuts.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Piccolo didn't really "change". It was just a change in art style. Same face and outfit, just drawn differently. People will find ANYTHING to complain about GT.

I like Piccolo's outfit in Movie 6 and 7.

If your favorite Piccolo outfit isn't from episode 125, you are objectively wrong.

I think the real question is which do we prefer, POSTBOY or BADMAN?

Keep in mind I haven't seen RF, and as such I'm not including those designs, since I haven't seen them in action.

Goku: 23rd Budokai (without weighted gear) / Shuu's outfit
Vegeta: EoZ / GT
Gohan: Dead Zone - first few episodes of Z / Right before they take off for Namek
Trunks: EoZ / GT business uniform
Goten: Boo arc / GT
Piccolo: 23rd Budokai / New born
Kuririn: BoG / EoZ
Tenshinhan: Boo - GT / pre-22nd Budokai
Choazu: BoG / 23rd Budokai
Yamcha: BoG / tie between Red Ribbon and his first 23rd Budokai appearance:
Spoiler:
Chichi: 23rd Budokai / GT
Bulma: Red Ribbon Arc / Afro
Roshi: Pilaf Arc / GT

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Mistake #1: Taking me seriously
Sometimes, I don't know what kind of posts to take seriously these days, especially when threads like this exist.
Spoiler:
GT wasn't a mistake. It was just very flawed in writing. :)

I don't like Piccolo's modern appearance. He has black eye liner...
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

In regards to Piccolo, GT's artistic direction did slightly alter just about everyone. The most glaring example is Goku's tan, but Piccolo's shoulder/cape pads are tinier, Freeza is even smaller than usual, Cell's "horns" are shortened...

I really liked Videl's first appearance look with her two ponytails.. Her GT look is not a good look..

Krillin with his namek hat is cool. Krillin in BOG :thumbdown:

Goku: Cell/Boo Saga (same thing) / GT as a child
Bulma: Boo saga (I like her in red) / Trunks saga (afro)
Gohan: Cell Games saga (I only wish we had him longer than that.) / Namek Saga (I did not like his short hair. Toriyama would have been better of making it look like the longer hair without it going down his back.)
Vegeta: Android saga / Boo saga (I'm not fond of the sleeveless look)
Future Trunks: Trunks saga / Cell Games Saga (Loses originality with the Saiyan armor)
Trunks: Boo saga / GT
Goten: Boo saga / GT
Chi-Chi: Androids Saga / GT
Krillin: Cell Saga / Saiyan Saga (I think he's better with sleeves)
Android 18: Cell Games Saga (Love that outfit she was in when Cell absorbed her) / Boo Saga (Kind of a fusion of her first two. It's alright)

Yamcha: BoG / Cell/Android arc
Tenshinhan: BoG, RoF, Cell arc / Saiyan arc

Yeah. I liked that look for her as well. Might just be because I thought she looked better with long hair. GT looks in general weren't that impressive to me. The only ones I kind of like are Goku when he's an adult, Vegeta and Gohan since its the only one that really looks like a continuation of Z.
