The thinner character designs may just be a consequence of changing taste. Overly-buff muscle-guy characters aren't as popular these days as they probably were when Z began.

Yeah the new art-style makes the characters look thinner. Not as good as the original of course.

Oh wow that dragon scene is weird. surprised

[up] Well peoples tastes have become shit then.

@ slim: Now now, that's what we call an opinion. tongue

But it does seem like Kenshiro/Guts-type characters aren't as popular as they were back in the 80s/90s.

Could they regain that popularity again in the future? Sure, but no one can predict what will and won't trend.

@ Enlong: [tup] for the YYH reference.

Given how long he's been around, I think Old Kai might just outdo Roshi in terms of perviness.

[up] An opinion can be bad though.

I swear to God (pun intended) I am watching the movie.

At least the animation will be prettier & Gohan is wearing his gi instead of normal clothes.

Ok, Old Kai's giant head is freaking me out. Sometimes, Toriyama's character designs collapse into the Uncanny Valley for me.

Right. Time for this thing again.

You know, I dig weird stuff, but Sand Whale and Me is a bit much even for my tastes.

I know the arc hasn't finished yet, but I still think the Battle of Gods movie is still the better product.

And now get ready to watch five minutes of "WTF Is This?"

I really shouldn't watch Super after Samurai Jack. It's disappointing.

Well on to Kai after the Sand Whale. At least that should be more exciting.

Be warned after Beerus' arc Super will be adapting another movie so its gonna take a while before we get to actual original material.

I'm waiting for Hit people.

@ slim: Yeah, true, but we're talking about character aesthetics in an anime. That's probably one of the most harmlessly subjective arguments you can have. Someone could take the opposite stance as you (and call you out on our preferences in the exact same manner) and be no less "justified" in their opinion.

It's not something you need to be so overly judgmental about is all I'm saying.

@ Beary: I'm already fastening down the hatches.

Welp, time for Real-Life Video Game: Part Deux.

Huh. That was a lot less strange than I thought it would be... but the next episode appears to have a reference to the Boulder Punch, so I guess it'll all even out.

That was basically the same episode as last week! WTH?

That spray reminded me of the more recent Resident Evil games.

So, that was like 95% recycled content.

Aside from not dying to Dragon eggs this time, de made basically no progress compared to the last episode.
