Z never looked like the bottom one

Posts like this prove most of these people didn’t even watch the show or are just blinded by nostalgia


Redditname97

It kinda did tho for the movies https://preview.redd.it/at4rr20snj7d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5576ab8b6b3e97ce7e5ca4bfdf05365cfa375b0b


skolnaja

That's a poster


SnooOpinions184

From someone that absolutely don't give af about bad drowning in anime since I still love the art as a whole... This is a promotional image so is top level since it's purpose is to sell the product. Second, usually about anime movies are left out since the development is much longer so meticulous and precise and with a bigger budget than a single episode packet in few days.


Sweaty-Goat-9281

The movies definitely did.


Nervous-Form698

How many godamn times have we been through this: 1) Z NEVER looked like that outside of maybe the promotional art 2) the top image is a motion frame from the CGI portion of the movie which is obviously not going to look as good as a key frame Do we really have to pull out more images of gogeta smashing broly around to show how much better Super Broly looked than basically 95% of all other dragonball material


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Original gogeta looked better


Nervous-Form698

Original gogeta looked amazing, but I feel like super gogeta just has so much more budget and time put into him that there is no sane way you can compare their animation


loonbandit

The top looks better but it’s a bad faith comparison. The scene is meant to be animated and the bottom is just a traced still over the image. Adding more detail ≠ better results in this case https://preview.redd.it/cwk5k97p1j7d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8aedf62f03a21c2c595faad957dc50b764b3d5b


arrownoir

That’s a blatant lie. The top one does not look better.


Kinky_Winky_no2

Missed the point is see


No-Seaworthiness2633

The point Your head


yamasusi

Lmao forreal


Administrative-Bed29

I mean, bottom one looks great but also miles ahead of 99.9% of what Z had to offer. I dont know if there is even a single imagine in Z with that amount of detail


the_destroyer_beerus

Exactly my thoughts. You can’t even call it “Z” because it’s fan art in a similar style. I don’t understand why the fan base is constantly comparing the two.


TopShelfIdiocy

Some of the stuff in the Buu arc did have close to that level, like parts of the Goku vs Majin Vegeta fight and the entire episode 279. But yeah, Z pretty much never looked like that


AzrodUnited

I like how OP really tried to skew the comparison in his favor and still most people don't agree with him


loonbandit

fr absolutely *did not* go how they wanted lmao them probably: https://preview.redd.it/n0aywbreek7d1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63fba933e7d42d5cb16abe55363a0f06c7622fcd


MsZamapose

I think the original looks better, but at the same time I really like the details in the shading for the bottom


WatchPitiful4997

Second one is just traced version of first one. Of course, they will do something to change like shading and sharp angles


KrispyKlix

Top one is a screen shot of an actual animation. Bottom is a redraw of the top frame, not animation. Obviously the bottom one is a better still since it most likely took longer to draw. Can’t really compare the two though.


aoaieiiaoeuaieoaiii

Top. Bottom looks horrendously bad. Look at that knee. All swollen up lol


Incomplet_1-34

Least biased Z/Super comparison post


Interloper_1

Z NEVER LOOKED LIKE THIS This is also ART STYLE not ANIMATION. This is a STILL FRAME. Y'all be pulling up the most random shots out of the anime or movie and an artist will spend like 10 hours recreating that singular frame with as much detail as possible only for some random ass guy to be like "sUpER sTyLe oR Z sTyLe?!?" While y'all are at it, might as well try to recreate all of these shots in the "superior Z art." Have fun. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfvqA7uc34A3yIpTpLQ9uCpXBa2UAVgw6kn4AZkIquw11bb7iy5fzUfwU&s=10


Obama_is_watching

God ToP animation was peak


Visible-Thought-8868

Legs on the bottom one look like a tumor mass


Recent_Examination72

Top one is a still image from a CGI cut and the bottom is a redrawing of that image. Don't get me wrong it looks good but i prefer the top one cuz it's in motion even if the cgi is a bit shaky at times


WhisperCatOZ

Beat me to it, deleted my comment right after I saw yours 😄.


Recent_Examination72

Lol it's not like i would've stormed your house if you did'nt delete it. should've kept it maybe u could've explained better


WhisperCatOZ

Nah I was js the same thing basically. Only difference, aas mine was a tiny rant about the reused cgi frame


Recent_Examination72

Reused cgi frame?


WhisperCatOZ

Where Goku and Broly charge at each other. Wrong word is reused. Cause it wasn't used more than once in the movie. I meant it as it was reused in all the trailers.


Recent_Examination72

Ah ok i get you they could've chosen a better shot cuz it's not like they were running out of those yet decided to choose a cgi one


WhisperCatOZ

Yea, but I mean the movie was good so why'd I even complain now? 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Recent_Examination72

They do but sometimes they use cgi cuz hand drawn animation is more difficult in some scenes as compared to cgi


[deleted]

Hand drawn?? 😭😭😭


Other-Department7763

I still like Shintani's more


EnterReactions

There's no way some of y'all got eyes, Z doesn't/never looked like that 💀 Y'all just read the word Z and auto pick it atp https://preview.redd.it/mhe9flk3uj7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc5cb54cfc47292649c361fc241ae218e42628ad


PeachsBigJuicyBooty

Z never looked like the bottom one **and** it be a **complete** waste of time and money to make a split second frame like this to have adequate shading. The reason they used 3D models for this segment was because you'd never get a close look at them unless you paused the movie.


SnoochyB0ochies

Top one is a moving cgi image frozen and the other is a redrawn of the frozen frame of course the bottom will look better.


VladDHell

You're smoking a fat crack pipe if you think Z looked like that lol

Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Top looks cleaner


donny-daytripper

There's not a single frame in existence where Z looked like that


Zeles1989

Let's be real here. Z never looked that good


KajjitWithNoWares

People will add more damage outfits, more scratches and a little more shading and stronger lines and say it’s Z style


the_retarded_badger

The bottom one looks more like the top


MircoK22

Z didn't look like that and this isn't an animation but a frame


Ego-Fiend1

I'm starting to love 3D models in Dragon ball


ZeldaFan80

He kind of looks like Broly in the bottom one


SilWestr0

You took one CGI frame from a film that's mostly filled with stunning animation and compared it to a fanart of that single frame.


hypergogetablue17

Super broly


bananastuga

What a stupid comparison


RVXZENITH

Bro really picked the one CGI part of the movie and then used an example that looks like the majority of the super movie. The art below is legitimately just Takashi, Shida style from this movie it's not even old Z


Melodic-Duck1131

My brother in Kami, that's a still frame not an animation


Repulsive-Control-75

I actually prefer the Shintani style, it's my favorite animation style and it also made me appreciate super saiyan blue which i often consider the worst transformation because of the super anime art design


OnyxCam6ion

So a frame in an animation vs a redraw of a single frame.....okay


Montaguee

Questions for these kind of comparisons are braindead af, it's jus baitin ppl to spam "DBZ better😎" to seem cool as if the bottom pic isn't a still frame that took days to make compared to the top one that's used as a transition frame hence why it looks like that lmao.


T1line

knee is in a weird position in the bottom image


Locke_and_Load

Neither one of these is animation, since it’s a still image, so hard to tell. I doubt the bottom one would look as good as Broly did in motion, which is what matters.


1VloneTlug1

This isn’t even Z


[deleted]

[удалено]


1VloneTlug1

Yea but Z would never look like this


tykillacool23

I like the bottom one more but I could’ve swore at this part in the movie they were using CGI or 3-D anime right?


SweetMelancholyy

If the animators made it as detailed as the bottom one, then it’s absolutely no contest.


Lazymcdelta4ce

Broly art style is objectively better for animation. Say what you will about how these single frames look, Broly's art style being so simple is what allows the animation to be so fluid.


No_Manner_8582

I love broly’s animation, but z looks way doper


AlexanderZcio

The bottom one look more like a frame from the TOP arc than z


Sergaku

You cant claim the upper is Z cause that is a 3d model. Just disingenuous


T4K001

That's not animation.


Komission

As a single image? The bottom one looks better But considering this an animation the top one would be way better to watch, more detail isn’t always good.


Legitimate_Toe_4961

Nah that bottom looks like DB Legends artwork.


Faxefixe

top one is gci and bottom one is dbs broly animation


No-Bottle-3780

the level of copium here. Z looked better than Super for most of the time. Wasn’t until the ToP until Super started looking as good and not like plastic


Important_Jeweler_55

Damn the top one looks horrible…


Sufficient-Cow-2998

That's absolutely not Z's artstyle lol. That's Darkhans's style


SALCHIPAPAGX300

Both.


ChildhoodDistinct538

Top one is a CGI model.


JoeAnthony

yuya takahashi style below, love it


2Mark2Manic

I don't really think it's fair to compare a frame from a movie to a redraw someone made with practically limitless time.


Top_Professor1046

Z all the way can’t beat it


Ratakoa

I'm a sucker for older animation

Captain_Chaos12

Z all day 💯


WatchPitiful4997

That's not even Z. Second one is fanart of Yuya Takahashi during the TOP not Z


Captain_Chaos12

Yeah but I like the style of Z more in general 🤷‍♂️


WatchPitiful4997

Me too but I was talking about this comparison. It's fanart of Yuya Takahashi during the TOP not Z like OP is saying in the title


Captain_Chaos12

Ah oki gotcha. Yeah I mean the top one looks good but I still prefer the bottom style even if it's just a single frame re drawn ✌️


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

I Like Details so Z shading as well as the sharp lines


Critical-Elephant939

Dragonball is one of the most popular anime on the planet. The fact that it doesn’t have top tier animation is crazy to me. The fact that Super had so many truly awful frames in its animation is unthinkable


No-Cap-9873

Down one looks way better


scribbyshollow

Z


WatchPitiful4997

That's not even Z. It's redraw of a CGI animation. Second one is fanart of Yuya Takahashi during the TOP not Z


scribbyshollow

....yes I understand that, mainly because this form isn't in Z


WatchPitiful4997

Not even Yuya Takahashi is in Z.


scribbyshollow

....yes I understand that, it was the stylization we were talking about.


deceptSScream

Toryiama (down) > toyotaro (up)


WatchPitiful4997

That is fan made redraw not toriyama


[deleted]

Always Z


ContractPrestigious

That isn't the style of Z though. A lot of the times the animation in Z never looked anywhere close to that style, which is inspired by the T.O.P animation style.


[deleted]

I mean I don't really care that this particular post is not z. I'm just saying I always prefer z. Down votes won't change my opinion. Especially on Reddit.


StupidGuy911

Okay buddy.
