which art style do you guys prefer? I like the fresh and simplistic look of the top one and I think we can all agree that the middle one looks like complete shit. why cant we have all our dragon ball animation to look like the third one

Third is prime, but we're lucky to even have the 1st one.
Samuel Williams
Dylan Baker
How can you get the effect and quality of top?
Brody Wright
top one. bottom two are too clean and obviously digital.
Camden White
How can people actually prefer the shitty two bottom ones? I don't understand. The new style is perfect.
Daniel Perry
Whoever did 2nd and 3rd really has no idea how shading works
Carter Myers
>Third is prime
Fuck no, the top one easily beats both.
Luis Perry
Old style.
John Torres
The one from the original manga, too bad animators are garbage compared to mangakas.
David Turner
This
At least we wont be a laughing stock in the anime world
Nathaniel Howard
Tyler Wood
i like the new style, has that great og dragon ball feel and as they say "simple is best" but idk the third one looks good to me too?
why is the third one shit?
Bentley Edwards
Top one by far
Hunter Hernandez
Top is patrician tier for the OG Dragon Ball fans, the middle one is only liked by Superkeks and the bottom one is only liked by Zshitters.
Juan Martin
1 and 3 are good
Thomas Ward
More evidence forthcoming. I should put these in a collage of sorts.
Aiden Cook
Phoneposting atm but I can go into a long rant about the flaws of the new styles if people want.
Aaron Rogers
Top is the closest to the manga artstyle, so top.
Liam Carter
top
I hate the other two
Chase Fisher
damn baldku couldnt even win the fight against a receding hairline
Hudson Smith
desu the style's more of a sidegrade than an improvement or downgrade.
Nathan Robinson
David Campbell
First is pretty damn good
Jace Bennett
First is the best. Love the way it sorta blends together to form the character design.
2nd looks way too "artificial" and the lines and shit are too apparent. 3rd is almost there but the secondary shading puts it in a similar position as the 2nd one.
Michael Morris
>separating DB and Z
Wanna know how I can tell you are hipster kiddie and not the actual DB fan?
Jason Watson
People who choose top over bottom either have shit taste or didn't watch OG db and Z. No it isn't 'like old times' you must have amnesia if you think the new garbage artstyle compares to the brilliant artsyle of dragon ball as it used to be. Its a bland style that doesn't belong to DB. Heck even Ebisawa frames are better than that. It boggles the mind why people just straight up accept mediocrity just to be contrarian.
Dont let Toei get away with cost cutting bullshit.
Easton Robinson
the animation is fluid tho? I dont see a problem with the top one?
Isaac Morgan
>cost cutting bullshit
You lost all your credibility right here. You don't actually know what you're talking about. You think you do, but you don't really.
Gavin Hill
First has the most pleasing base colors.
Cooper Evans
Bottom. top is fine, middle is an abomination.
Ayden Rogers
If anyone remembers the digimon movies and how different it was from adventures you'd feel the same way with nu dagon ball. Old DB was both smooth AND detailed (but not overly detailed).
Jordan Taylor
Cell saga was best art prove me wrong
Nicholas Myers
Camden Russell
>no argument
I rest my case
Kayden Howard
Top > Bottom > Middle
The top is softer and colors less harsh.
Jaxon Murphy
what's the difference between #2 and #3?
Brody Edwards
Sure, I always like watching modern anime (and cartoon and comic) art getting ripped like it rightfully deserves.
Matthew Gray
None
Dylan Morgan
It's fucking baffling how much some random images of some fucking chinese characters cause me such a sense of disgust.
Asher Morris
Good. It's a garbage case. Don't ever bring it up here again either.
Jordan Morgan
This hair looks like shit
Angel Lee
The new one puts Numamuro to shame, it's not even funny. His overly shiny characters were such a turn off.
Andrew Cook
fuck muro, yuya ftw
Hudson Bennett
Kinda hot
Horrifying
Asher Cruz
>Looks like a bad ass martial artist who prides himself on self improvement, and challenges
>Looks like your archetypical hero, with square jaw, and more mild look. He fights for the trees and animals of the world.
Leo Gonzalez
No, because I already know that the manga is just Dragon Ball you dipshit. Doesn't change the fact that Toei separated them, doesn't change the fact that the themes and artstyle went through drastic changes after the Saiyan arc.
Joshua Turner
The top one is clearly superior, but a little detail wouldn't hurt.
Adrian James
None of these are good. And no, it doesn't resemble Maeda era DBZ.
Jonathan Scott
>Hosoda doing DB
Daniel Moore
This is unironically the best lineup of protagonists and should've remained so for the rest of the series. Everyone fights differently, and it's not a Super Saiyan fest.
Zachary Long
it doesnt but it's the closest to the magnum opus of dragon ball animation
Ryder Rodriguez
>Gohan uses piccolos style
It's the little things.
Aiden Kelly
I hate the vasoline smear that Super does
Wyatt Hernandez
Top > Bottom > Middle
Juan Morgan
Early and pre DB Toriyama was the best so top of course.
Lucas Price
Argh I hate new things, I wish everyone in super had massive ears and lanky faces like in early DBZ
Landon Wright
Late Dragon ball is the peak. and you cant prove me wrong
Joshua Watson
it's not about the features, it's about the style, colour and feel of it
fucking retard
William Walker
Top and also this one
Kayden White
I don't want to know what is this.
Gavin King
Mangastream translations of the manga
Robert Cruz
Jackson Gray
Is this fan-made?
>unironic
Andrew Moore
Not that user, but isn't that part of the defition of style?
James Harris
I agree. SS2 Goku vs Kid Buu was fantastic.
Michael Johnson
thats late DBZ, not Late DB
Dominic Martinez
Best art.
Alexander Long
Connor Edwards
>Not getting the joke
Michael Nelson
A literal who made this and a bunch of other promotional images, he was the Pinnacle of dbz artstyle
Christopher Morris
I don't know Toei loves that weird as fuck shading, makes the characters look like they are made of plastic.
Austin Reyes
I had a lot of magazines with this kind of art and I was always amazed by it.
Bentley Martin
Anything but middle.
Ryder Wright
Does a good comparison chart for all the animation artstyle exist?
Carson Martinez
It was Yamamuro, you retard.
Grayson Rodriguez
1 for base
3 for ssj forms
Adrian Adams
No it wasn't you mongoloid, promo artists never get credited
Chase Phillips
They embossed the bottom image because "filters" and then added a squiggle or two to get the middle one.
Luis Moore
You took this straight from someones comment on r*d*t...
Thomas Cruz
I don't know how that lineup can reasonably last past the Namek Arc. I can see Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu lasting till Goku turns Super Saiyan because taking down Frieza was more of a group effort.
Jason Scott
>promo artists never get credited
>his name is on the official poster, this one is the no text version
???
Liam Roberts
I loved the fuck out of this promotional art when I was a kid, I remember going to my friend's house because he had a color printer and I would just print out shit like this constantly and then bring it to school to impress my friends.
Luke Parker
Top is a step in the right direction even if it's not the best.
This, but throw in Vegeta too. DBZ remade with good writing and relevant side characters would be one of the best martial arts manga ever.

>First image
Classic Dragon Ball style that's also reminiscent of One Piece. If you chose this, you have a great understanding of how some artstyles better complement fluidity and movement than others. Also congratulations, you have great taste.
>Second image
The typical sterile style of Super. If you chose this, you're too easily satisfied and only care about whatever is "modern" and "trendy". You are truly beyond redemption.
>Third image
The DBZ style. If you chose this, you rely too much on nostalgia and often ignore the pitfalls of Z's vast animation problems back in the day. You're better than the average Superpleb, but that's not saying much.
Liam Ross
>Third image
>The DBZ Style
Not even close. DBZ's style had better noses and a less "pudgy" face. Also, the face shading was curved to show the cheekbones which added more depth. Taking away Super's shitty highlights doesn't automatically make it "DBZ style".
>If you chose this, you rely too much on nostalgia and often ignore the pitfalls of Z's vast animation problems back in the day
You are fucking retarded. We're comparing the general on-model art styles, not how the anime looked on it's shittiest episodes.
Michael Watson
For the Love of God I pray that If super comes back it comes back for seasons instead of weekly.
Jonathan Jenkins
He did some animation for the Path to Power movie.
Colton Martin
the guy who did this works the majority of the time on Pokemon.
Ayden Jackson
the line work on the bottom two looks like it was done in photoshop using line tools. there's no line width or tapering whatsoever. it's like going to a fucking hospital.
Matthew Campbell
12 episode seasons of Dragon Ball would actually be kinda dope
Aaron Thompson
This sucks. Here is the best SSJ style.
Nathaniel Perry
Why do newfags hate the term 'SSJ'?
Caleb Cook
Toei would never do that with one of their big shows.
I'd like if they adapted the manga version of Goku Black and the ToP though.
Jonathan King
1st actually looks hand drawn
that one
Aiden Gonzalez
Top one honestly gives me a boner, I wish everything looked that good.
Hunter Morgan
