Toriyama's art definitely took a turn i didn't like in the 90s, when he started doing specular highlights on everything that made it look plastic + using markers instead of watercolors for illustration + drawing everybody with huge lantern jaws. Saiyan-saga era Goku is perfect; not overly-detailed or angular but still looks like he could kick your rear end

Thanks for explaining what I couldn't quite grasp.

This looks great:


This not so much:


DBZ is weird for me because there's moments where it does look like a natural evolution of original DB and then there's the moments where everything is swimming in shadows and highlights. I should note I think Chrono Trigger is the best game of all time and I like Dragon Quest so it's not that I completely bounce off his art style.

I didn't really want to get specific about it but some of the decisions highlighted in that art, like the more prominent puffed up pecs and the big V-shape on everyone's necks, were definitely passed down into animation.

Vermain posted:

goku when he wasn't in a battle to the death was also a genuinely pleasant and respectful (if somewhat dopey) guy. he powered up and got big muscles to help and protect others because he's a good person and not to exert dominance or whatever

He also mostly just fights for the love of the game. There's nothing he likes more than making friends with someone who can beat the poo poo out of him.

He's the best kind of protagonist because he's a weirdo meathead surrounded by edgy villains that he confuses into becoming friends with him.

Do you feel the same way?
I see there was some controversy with a later episode of Wonder Egg Priority. I intentionally didn’t look up the details, but is it still worth seeing to the end? The show starts off quite strong.

i didn't regret seeing the end of it but it melts down from a production and story standpoint for sure

imo if you're curious about it just watch until you either finish or decide it's not worth it anymore

the beginning of wonder egg priority, is completely different from the entire rest of wonder egg priority because that guy literally can't write a script that knows what it's doing from the start

No, it's pretty terrible. It starts strong but completely melts down in the back half, only watch if you really love watching trainwrecks

And also you weren't too attached to the things the story seemed like it was doing. If you had hopes for the show you should just drop it

the wonder egg guy is good at writing distinct characters and... usually doesn't completely torpedo them yeah. that's his saving grace. his trans manga is godawful but he hit at something good with the insane friendship between the trans girl and the runaway girl, if he knew what he was doing he could write something badass

i think there is at least one really good episode in the second half but it falls apart completely at any thematic or narrative level. the final episode is insanely bad outside of ai singing karaoke.
