Yeah, that's what I meant.

There's only six years between Evolution and Super.

How'd that happen?

Toryama saw Evolution and went "That'll be a cold day in hell when I allow that to be the final entry in my life's work! I'll make something... I need a good villain..." *stares at his cat* "Eureka. Okay, now a name" *stares a pile of beer bottles he's been drinking for 12 years* "Lets get to work!"

I'm surprised they didn't make a crack at the end about Mai and Trunks randomly becoming a couple.

I think they are purposely avoiding giving out spoilers about Super.

Didn't stop them from giving one out for Zamasu.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I have no love for GT. The animation style is ugly and unfitting, the colors are painful to look at, the character designs just look wrong, somehow, the writing is shit, the plot is nonsensical, and the whole thing reeks of 90s edginess combined with a badly written fanfiction. It doesn't feel like Toriyama's writing, it feels like someone trying to replicate Toriyama's writing and failing miserably.

Oddly enough, if Masako X is to be believed (and he sighted an interview in his video) Toriyama apparently likes Super Saiyan 4.

[up][up]Didn't Toryiama help design it?

[up]Probably should have clarified that, then. It was kind of a weird statement to make out of nowhere.

I like GT. No particular reason why, I just do.

Also SSJ4 > All forms of SSJG.

There's just something unsettlingly wrong about how all the characters are drawn in GT. It's like the whole show is solidly in the Uncanny Valley of Dragon Ball imitation art styles, and it physically makes me uncomfortable to watch it.

I feel like Super Saiyan 4's design is a little too loud and busy for me.

But SSJG and SSJB are too far in the opposite direction. They don't really add anything other than a recolor of previous forms.

So I'd have to give the point to SSJ 4.

I kind of liked that they gave SS 4 some nods from BOG characters in Xenoverse.

Now that would even work, chronologically speaking, is off to say the least, but it's fun.

And yeah, I far prefer SS 4's design and intro.

I like SSJ 4, it's just the pink fur that sort of kills it. (Also like Kaiser said, where does he get the pants?)

Yeah, if SSJ 4 were reddish brown instead of hot pink, it would look sooooooo much better.

Sort of Toriyama was actually a Producer on Evolution but was excluded from actually working on thing which rekindled his interest in the franchise.

Toriyama is a huge fan of western movies, like Kojima, so getting to work with hollywood was probably his dream... and ended up being a slap in the face.

Still don't get why it randomly gives the users pants though.

Saiyan transformations have latent clothes powers in monkey form. It's just that even those who are advanced enough to have that power don't realize it. Vegeta just things that Saiyan Armor is elastic, and doesn't realize he's radiating clothions at 500x the background level.

Same reason both styles of fusion randomly gives you new clothes.

I wanna make a joke SF Debris did in his Tuvix review about how clearly Tuvok and Neelix's clothes combined their DNA.

Like, the Oozaru and Sonic the Hedgehog don't need pants, so I dunno why SSJ4 does.

Just make it red all over.

Also, I mean.

Speaking of terrible animation, I'm not sure Super has the advantage over GT there.
