You know DBGT art style is really stupid its like a poor attempt to somehow modernize the art from DBZ.

GT had some great art at times. I don't see the reason for a statement like "modernize" the Z art since GT's art was, what, pretty much the same as Z at times?

At the end of Z the though the quality was brilliant and better then GT in my opinion, but when they made the 4th Dragonball movie it looked quite good and that was the same style as GT.

Eh, it wasn't so much the style as the designs. Vejita becoming biker trash, and having purple gloves when going SSJ4? Ugh...

Yeah looked really bad, they are the same design that they put into the Final Bout intro.

Em are we talking about the new art style here, or the change of the characters being modernised? They both seemed to have been mentioned.

Some of these actually look quite good in motion so I don't think examining it by single cells is really the best approach to asessing the art. And GT was probably drawn just about as well as DBZ if not better at times. It's just what Majin VejitaXV said, the designs were crappy....sooo crappy.

The worst animation I ever saw was at the start of the Super 17 saga when Goku and his family are all on the bridge and Vegeta wants to fight him 1 more time.
If you look closely the colours are not even right.

The best of dragon ball GT was when Goten asks Vegeta to wear the Mr. Satan button: Vegeta looks great in that scene.

Also in "Z" some of the scenes after Goku is given his 1 day to live on earth are poorly drawn (as some people here have said already)

I (we) really can't bash GT too much. There are some scenes of "triangle guy" that still look better than some of my stuff. :shock: That's why I gave up on making fun of say, that boyband Hanson. Yes, I could probably beat them up in a fight, but they still have a million more dollars than I do... for now ;p.

UGH! Yes! I hated the whole purple gloves thing. I mean why? I didn't mind him wearing the civvies but he did look like biker trash. I wonder why he cut his hair? Trouble at the movies? :wink: :lol: Yeah some frames just look strange no matter how you slice it. I liked some of the art for GT but others where just odd.

He looks way to bulky to be anorexic.

I didn't care for what gt did to both Vegeta AND Goten's hair. :(


I can deal with the gloves but to mercilessly chop off that awesome flame hair...

Obviously, Vegeta hit his midlife crisis and joined a biker gang.

Yeah, Vegeta's wardrobe was "questionable" at the very least. :) I don't understand how Vegeta grew that mustache in the first place?

Come on people, get over it. :roll: Did you really want all the characters to have the same wardrobe and the same hair styles their entire lives? By the end of Z I already felt the designs were getting boring.

I don't like all of GT's designs (Trunks comes to mind) but there was nothing wrong with Vegeta.

I guess neglecting your training and having an easy life can lead to lazyness and growing a mustache from it.
