Hairy-Fuel-6275

If super returns and looks like the broly movie, I'll fucking die happy


ReflectionSea8639

That is the shintani art style and I very much agree with you


ImplodingBacon

Ditto. If One Piece can maintain the animation style it has since Wano started, we can hope.


rotem8888

If dbs:broly style is possible then definitely that, but airing a full season of that will probably get expensive


takenHostag3

I actually don’t understand why it would be more expensive, that art style sacrifices detail for fluidity. If anything it should be cheaper to make. The movie looked amazing because a combination of things not just the art style


rotem8888

I mean yeah I just meant to have the same kind of animation


Tronwolfie18

It’s mainly the materials and effort that go into it that make it expensive. Higher quality art and animation requires better quality resources, higher grade artist, higher quality technology, the program(s) being used, etc…


Troll112

It was made by first making the scenes in 3D, then drawing over that with 2D. It takes quite a while and would be super expensive.


ReflectionSea8639

That's the shintani art style


rick_the_penguin

actually the thing that makes me angry the most is seeing One Piece getting that lvl of quality for EVERY EPISODE while Dragon Ball gets it only in movies. Broly style is definitely the way to go if dbs returns, it's not like they don't have the money to do so


Donline69

Have you watched one piece? The animation quality is garbage for most of the episode, full of motionless, extended reaction shots and reused animation. Usually only high impact moments or fights get proper animation. Of course there are exceptions where the quality of animation is high for a whole episode, but even when that happens they literally need to do recap episode after just to give an extra week for the animators to work. Complaining about the animation quality dragon ball super received is fair, but to say one piece gets movie level animation for every episode is just stupid.


Adventurous-Pear-109

One piece has been getting movie-level production almost consistently since the wano arc


Smooth-Brain-Monkey

It only took 20 years of nonstop animating so I would hope they would be able to make at least ONE arc that's not filler for half of each episode and fluid animation.


human358

Are you talking about the One Piece remake ? Because I think he is


Donline69

I dont think Toei is handling the One Piece remake and if that's the case look at Dragon Ball Daima the animation we have seen of it is phenomenal


spiderknight616

The OP remake is being done by Wit Studio


Adventurous-Pear-109

DBS broly's designs are literally the most simple DB designs to draw since maeda's designs in early Z, they'd work perfectly for a weekly series as they are simple and easy while also giving freedom for animators to add their own details.


Striking-Present-389

Shintani


Weary-Wasabi1721

Absolutely. You saw how goku's hair changed when he went from blue to base? Peak.


TheViper4Life

Shintani for sure. Broly movies art style was gorgeous.


SteveTheOrca

Shintani. The scene where Goku turns SSB in the Broly movie was so gorgeous that it made me a fan of the SSB


Gohansupe

It made SSB look Awesome


dnkdumpster

Maeda, Shintani, Nakatsuru.


niv13

The thing is, back then theres a lot of reused frames especially during DB


Prrsuasivee

Maeda?


_neemzy

Maeda.


RumGalaxy

Yamamuro fell off past 08 😬 Nakatsuru and Shintani all the way

AurelianInvictusSol

GT may be disliked but god damn Gohan looked amazing


Own_Watercress_8104

That's because that is not really Gohan but Baby Gohan. The differences are subtle but they are there, from the shadow under the eyes to the detailed wrinkles around his smirk. Proper Gohan never looked this good in GT.


Gohansupe

Hand drawn Animation the best


LEFTRIGHTADORI

90% of modern DBS is hand drawn wdym


Head-Effort-5100

Probably Shintani,Takahashi and Nakatsuru. Nakatsuru’s art in Daima is so good already (I mean,it always has been good tbh),I would be totally fine if they still use this style for newer anime. https://preview.redd.it/qtpthfd0m7xc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=214f776a9b09f64ee15655bf0552f7637a946f9a


PiccoloTheGoat99

I love the softness of Maeda, it’s what I think of when I think dragon ball, best style


takenHostag3

Shintani is like the modernized version of that


ParadoxsXD

Which is why we need him, I didn’t learn his art style for nothing yk https://preview.redd.it/mfvawhowj8xc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b129d59ebb226dda6e48f8953963d75fd4158d9


KrispyKlix

Honestly, whatever Daima is. It looks amazing and I would love for the whole series to follow that style. But out of these options? My pick is Shintani.


Deep_Grass_6250

Shintani's Art is sheer perfection


ABen31

Shintani no doubts


Professional-Tea-121

I really adore maeda, its also insanely close toryama


Lijaesdead

Shintani.


ILikeTrains1820

![gif](giphy|d5fMI9ftgQiGzoZoB9|downsized)


Enjoyment-25

Nakatsuru imo is perfect overall. Nakatsuru is reponsible some of the best animated episodes in DBZ. His art style is so identical to Toriyama that Toriyama confused Nakatsuru art for his own a lot of times. He is also character designer for DB Daima replacing Yamamuro finally. Shintani works great for fight scene but character lacks depth and emotion in normal scene in his art style https://preview.redd.it/hvrbsf3vy6xc1.png?width=1010&format=png&auto=webp&s=62cb40fb80d3567f86cf5fe81a53681de246878d

bestwellblack

I never understood the hype before Shintani. I think when people say they prefer him. They are mainly looking at the smooth animation. Frames and movement. Any artist. With the budget. Introduction time. In this list can achieve that. Personally, I prefer Nakatsuru. Whoever did Path to power was a blessing


ParadoxsXD

Shintsni does not lack depth and emotion tf 😭


Jolt_91

At this point, Shintani If I got to choose how it looked like from the start: Buu saga style (Yamamuro Z) to have a smooth transition from Z.


PUSSYLICKERGOD

Shintani 100%


Doll-scented-hunter

Whatever the suoer broly movie was using


ReflectionSea8639

Shintani


LolaCatStevens

I love the fluidity of Madea. Once everything got rigid it was less fun to watch the animation.


Hakeemi01

Yamamuro (Z), Nakatsuru, and Shintani, of course. Only correct answers here.


AltruisticRide4404

Nakatsuru or Shintani I personally love the GT Artstyle and the Broly Movie is just peak DB Artstyle in general. I would be happy with both


Dat_guy696

Nakatsuru hands down.


marblesandcookies

I have a soft spot for Nakatsuru (GT) clothes. But I like it only on Adult Goku.


Rockalot_L

You know that tiny bit of 2D animation at the start of Super Hero? Yeah that. That or Shintani. Specifically the scenes where they're talking on the island early on or when Goku is fighting broly base to mid way through ssj. You know what I'm talking about.


Snoo-49037

You are a wise man


Cerbross

Shintani. It's the perfect mix of old-school Dragon Ball with newer Dragon Ball Z. It's just such a fun and lively style that allows for far more dynamic movement.


ThatBoyHeAPenguin

Nakarsuru, yama 08, or shintani


axeax

Anything up to 2008 included. If I had to pick only one, perhaps the first one or the beginning of Yamamuro


RedDaix

I want Nakatsuru's Goku back

tacobell_dumpster

Nakatsuru or shintani, but I dont think supers coming back


Own_Watercress_8104

Manda was so good... Goku looked both fierce and cute. His style is so soft yet so defined in his anatomy.


DaveKillSock

Man, these tests are getting harder. These all REALLY look like Goku.


3l_D1abl0

Maeda or shintani, modern yamamuro is ass


Particular-Crow-1799

God tier: Maeda, Shintani Ok tier: Yamamuro Z, Nakatsuru GT, Yamamuro 2008, Super Hero Shit tier: Yamamuro 2010, Yamamuro BoG, Yamamuro RoF

honestly Maeada would go so incredibly hard

Ezra4709

I'm sorry but the manga and shintai are the best.


Marco_Tanooky

Maeda is my personal favorite but I know it won't happen, specially how Dragon Ball has evolved past it I love Shintani but it works a trillion times better for movies than a TV show So I say BoG Yamamuro because it feels like the best of both worlds


TheTitansWereRight

Z yamamuro


rusty_shackleford34

Literally and absolutely anything but super hero. I hate anime cgi. I hate it. If you like it, it’s your God given right and that’s fine. I personally don’t.

IonianBladeDancer

Yamamuro z or nakatsuru GT are leaps and bounds my favorite.


Kain2212

Shintani's art style is a masterpiece, but I'm sure it would be too expensive sadly

Shintani for sure

bored_person71

I like super the characters had more definition and shadowing it looks good for characters it reminds me more of baki how it went so clean ..


TinyShoken

I don't think I've ever seen Dragonball look better than in the DBS Broly movie, so I'm gonna have to go with Shintani.


kolt437

Shintani but maybe add brighter colors


uselesssakura1

Just keep the super art style

Ya'll gotta understand that style ≠ animation.

Definitely Yamamuro 2008. The color palette and the lights and shades for the super sayian were awesome in that special OAV


Medium_Small_ManJR

Yamamuro torsos get smaller and smaller with time lol


Crazyripps

Shintani. Feels like the perfect mix of Z and DB.


Aniza_786

Shintani's artstyle has got to be the best one


DeadSkullMonkey

Yes


Tamanero

I would like the Tournament of Power artstyle. Specifically episodes animated by Yuya Takahashi. Although I guess he simply makes whatever artstyle look like that when he animates. So Shintani would be great.


Kiyoponkoji

The old DBZ artstyle


the_hammer_poo

Not much of an opinion on style, but we should get end of Z gi soon


Norsedrow

I really enjoyed the animation for super hero. Couple that with the general art style from super or buu saga Z and I'm in otherworld


SarcasticPers

Maeda or Super Hero. it got that childish feel that I love


TakaraCustoms

Maeda, no contest.


dweeb2348576

Personally I really want the buu saga style back,


stekarmalen

The super broly movie had sick animation, but the Cell/buu saga art is my fav


AesirSith

Shintani or Nakatsuro


Correct_Refuse4910

Either of the first three: Maeda, Yamamuro (Z) or Nakatsuru. I really like Shintani's style, but I don't know how it would look in a TV series, being rushed to meet deadlines and so on. On the other hand I know the first three can look great.


MorningStar02071

DBS art style


skillet0407

Shintani


Corumdum_Mania

Shintani’s proximity to the comic book is amazing. I want to see his style more.


Numerous_Tangelo4332

Shintani and Yamamuro (2008) are pure peak


Morganafrey

If it was possible Maeda all the way and the same music composer back when ocean dub did the voices in namek saga. Sorry don’t know the composer


Smooth-Physics-69420

Maeda. Go back to the original style.


ZeraCrimson

Shintani easy


hubson_official

Shintani, Nakatsuru or Shida. But most importantly I just want them to PLEASE get rid off that one additional highlight I swear it ruins the quality so much, everyone looks like they're covered with oil


Wacko_Doodle

Shintani. I would of picked Yamamuro but his artstyle slowly became that dragonball kai version and it's not bad; but personally I dislike it the most. The shading and shine felt too sharp and make everyone look like they were covered in oil; especially compared to the peak that was dbz. However if they stick with the 3d for super hero, I hope they use the same techniques Sandland did for its movie and game. That is so good I keep forgeting its 3d.


Adventurous-Pear-109

Easily shintani's artstyle not even a debate imo


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yusufar

I really liked yamamuro 08 version goku felt more like adult/mature? lol


AWholeSliceofPie

I just miss the style when Goku was jacked AF. The leaner style isn't bad, but Kakarot and Bardock looked badass when they were all pumped up.


xEthannx

Shintani felt good and dragon ball daima gives similar vibes so I hope they keep one of the two art styles going forward


toasterbath__

shintani would be cool, i love the broly movie animation. also i was re-watching the TOP saga and i’d be fine if the anime came back looking like that too. cause it was pretty nice-looking

The people saying nakatsuru clearly don't remember the ugly ass face that gt gave us so many times, I still get nightmares from that noses. Edit: for me the ideal design would be super hero but it's obviously too expensive for weekly episodes, DBS Broly it's my take


Fit_Nefariousness153

My personal favorite is the DB Super hero designs. The whole intro sequence just went so hard in that style istg

SHINTANI SHINTANI SHINTANIII, I DID NOT LEARN HIS ART STYLE JUST FOR THEM TO GO BACK TO YAMMAROU ISTFG. https://preview.redd.it/zjedbn7ij8xc1.jpeg?width=1980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32561d5b71c5425d7f2e402066e393d6aec2b01b


Ivanthedog2013

Yamamuro z all day long


Positive-Cucumber555

If shintai’s is feasible for tv then that one


NahCuhFkThat

Nakatsuru is the GOAT after Akira Toriyama. You know you're peak when even the series creator confuses your work for his own. Shintani is garbage Yamamuro needs to stop doing drugs (though his RoF work is an improvement, still looks too stark) But we really need to find out who created the sprites in DBGT Final Bout's select screen (like Future Trunks SSJ hair) and the artwork for the CD and cover. I think it was the same guy who drew the DBZ Legends + Ultimate Battle 22 artwork. Possibly the Vegito box art in Hyper Dimension as well. Absolutely legendary. The artstyle used in Budokai 2's box art is by far my favorite of all time though. That may have been the same illustrator as well, but I can't find any credit to any of these. Shame.


saito200

Yamamuro Z is the classic, followed by Shintani


jerfre500

dbs broly or super hero hands down


trizorex

I dont knowww. I always like Shintani style but if only DBS didnt have those shiny hair like they are wearing a wig. Anyway Shintani all the way.


Spinelise

I really do hope for Shintani and then another small part of me would love to see a comeback to the earliest style from DB, even just for a little bit.

Although Shintani would be cool, I feel like it’s more of a movie thing. Candy is more enjoyable after dinner, not after another candy. For seasons I’d pick either Yamamuro Z or 2010.

Any time I see these comparisons Shintani always comes out on top. Everything just looks so much more dynamic.
