Chikashi Kubota's Fluid and Breathtaking Action Sakuga!! | Animator Archives

One Punch Man character designer and animation director, Chikashi Kubota has been a very popular topic of discussion in the Dragon Ball community as of recent and for good reason. Leading character designs for the new film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Chikashi was able to breathe new life into Dragon Ball with designs quite reminiscent of Tadayoshi Yamamuro's sheets in the 90's films! Kubota is a standout animator in his own right using his masterful timing to convey speed and power in scenes and is most known for his "itano circus" shots where a circus of projectiles will follow and track a character's movements! Kubota has lots of experience with mecha anime on series' such as Gurren Lagann and Space Dandy and his incredible artistry shows in those projects as well as many others! Behold the spectacle!!

[@anatemori23]

@@U.S.G web series can be super. They can move from TV to web. Cause the day in age we live in most people look at stuff online. The only difference between web and TV series is that one is online and one is on tv

bruh some people in this world are immensely talented

[@jasonone8726]

0:00-0:49 The designs look great and I love the color pallet, such a perfect mixture of keeping that old DB color, but at the same time, looking modern. None of that shiny kiddy modern Yamamuro plastic look. I don't expect the animation to look as good in the anime, but hopefully Kubota is in charge and this color pallet stays. Whether it's Kubota or Shintani, I'm happy.

[@matygoo1644]

This is epic! If they remade all of OG Dragonball and Z as one series id be on that 100% 💸💸💸💸💸💸

[@BroadcastingCN]

He's just incredible I'm glad that he didn't use the plastic, lifeless design like yamamuro new design, one punch man season 1 Instead he used more of modern style and actually have cool shading with a few tones

[@Vingu1K]

He’s definitely one of my favorites after looking back at some of his work. A legend for sure

[@BroadcastingCN]

Oh for sure he's a legend for a reason

[@assh9333]

He's so talented !! in 2D and even in 3D

[@TheAyman1825]

The space dandy shot was done by yutaka nakamura

[@Vingu1K]

Good catch! Kubota was also credited in that cut so I thought I’d just leave the rest in there :)

[@TheAyman1825]

@@Vingu1K I checked again and I found out that Kiyotaka Oshiyama and Norifumi Kugai were also credited.

Chikashi kubota improved so much since the last time he appeared in dbs broly 4 years ago

[@todd3143]

the rest of super should be animated this way honestly. even if dragon ball anime is aimed towards kids i think those kids still deserve more quality animation

[@TheArtGuyChannel]

I feel like they should do a dbs reboot, for it to follow more in line with the manga, but flesh out the first two arcs, and include the broly movie into it, allowing the manga to continue it's next following arcs for the anime to have more to work with.

Dragón Ball Super Kai 2056

[@vanred7550]

Wish we could have a remake of DB and DBZ in his style and this quality of animation, but that's probably impossible. One can dream though...

[@UnifiedEntity]

It certainly is not impossible.

[@christianalcantarast7584]

Imagine having all 520 chapters of Dragon Ball graphic novel being adapted to 16:9, without distinction of original or Z (that is, a single story), everything being adapted faithfully (Bulma's hair being purple), without any changes to the story, without fillers, without censorship, with classic SFX and soundtrack by Shunsuke Kikuchi and Akihito Tokunaga, and we see Tahakashi, Kubota and Shida animating...
