Just a fun thread showing all the variations of memorable moments in DBZ throughout the years from different artists. Feel free to contribute from the Anime, Manga, Games etc.

What are the sources of the last two images? I'd assume the second of the two is from a much more recent production but it still has a fair amount of film grain.

To echo this request do you think it would be possible to cite where the animated/redrawn scenes come from? It would be very insightful to know what we're looking at and where it originated.

Totally forgot these existed. So nice to see how much the animation quality evolved over the course of the series. Beautiful stuff.

Didn't the final episode of GT have redrawn scenes of Goku & Bulma first meeting & Goku meeting Goten?

I haven't seen some these images since watching the show on Toonami in 2003. Totally forgot there's a flashback that reanimates parts of the Goku vs Vegeta fight.

Gah what could have been! Id have loved Kai to have been like this. Saiyan arc to Cell arc with Buu arc animation quality. Id have been perfectly fine with that.

I agree about the quality jump, but I much prefer the art style from the Saiyan arc compared to the Buu arc. Can't we have the best of both worlds? Someday?

Ehhh, id rather not see a 100% remake if it means the series ends up looking like the UT cutscenes or Battle of Gods. As I have said multiple times, we'd be best off with the animation of the Budokai 2 and 3 intros.

Didn't I sort of agree? My favorite art style in the series ran basically from the end of the Daimao arc to the end of the Saiyan arc, and nothing we've gotten in years even resembles that anymore.

May be a little off topic but all these reanimated scenes and new movies with flashbacks and they still can't get Bulma hair right

If you mean the hair color then they did do it right in Path to Power.

I find the Buu saga/GT's art redrawn scenes to look far better than the original art work for the scenes. I dunno, the more grittier and detailed work just defines the models so much more than the original for me. The original scenes are softer and rounder making the characters look chubbier than they were rather than appropriately muscular as the Buu saga's art directorCharacter Design had done, especially vegeta.

Isnt Trunks also supposed to have blue hair where as Bulma was supposed to be purple?

The role is not 'art director'. The credit is 'Character Design', which was assigned to Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi for Dragon Ball Z episodes #200-291 and Dragon Ball GT.

Trunks hair is purple as well.

I like how the older ones look. It feels strange seeing them animated in the later style.

I really want to see some reanimated scenes done with the style of the early arcs for at least the respected scenes of the original. However, I would love to see a take on all of Dragonball with the earlier art style for the whole series.

I love that particular style as well so your not alone with that opinion.

I'm not too fond of the weird balloon like heads and huge noses and huge caveman like chins that character's have in the Buu arc period of art style. It's very ugly compared to the style we see in the Daimao to the end of the Saiyan arc art style.

The increased quality is amazing as years go by, I mean the early Dragon Ball and Saiyan arc look so goofy compared to later animation, a little bit like if you had a very precise and detailed painting by an artist on one side and a child's drawing very roughly colored on the other side.

Ugh, just look at those comparison shots of Goku VS Vegeta... Goku's dogi, Vegeta's suit, their hair, the sky, the rock they stand on...
Well, those childish renditions are gone forever now, at least...

Trunks is supposed to have exactly his mother's hair.
So they're both supposed to be purple, and even when Toriyama lets himself be influenced by the anime to make Bulma's hair blue again, then he makes Trunks' hair blue to match her hair on the pictures (see the Battle of Gods artworks and designs).

Make up your mind, Toei! Either you correct Bulma's hair to purple as they should be (you understood that for The Path to Power), or you stick to the blue you chose and therefore have to make Trunks' hair blue as well! But just like in Toriyama's drawings, when you see Trunks and Bulma on a same picture, you're supposed to think "God, Trunks really looks like a new, male version of Bulma, you can definately tell they're mother and son!"
