[@Pixiuchu]

That could be a fun exercise actually, to write down the way everything happens in Dragon Ball. I haven't seen the show in years but I still remember so much (though I did see DB 2x and DBZ 4x as a teenager + the DB manga 1x two years ago).

[@TommyMG96]

@@Pixiuchu I do yearly rewatches of the series.

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

I can do the same thing. I was raised around Dragon Ball, I was molded by Dragon Ball, I am even inspired by Dragon Ball. I've watched almost every version of Dragon Ball and DBZA, which means all of the dubs and original versions and uncut versions. I've also watched Kai and DBZA, plus I've played almost every mostly known DB game ever made for almost every console from the 90s to 2018. I have read the English manga and corroborated almost all original Japanese versions with every scene in the manga, so I know the original intentions and designs of the manga and what almost every page and sets of panels means and flow into each other. Even the way that I draw manga and characters and write fighting scenes is inspired by DB although there's many other inspirations too, Dragon Ball fights is the main one. It's just fun, the way that characters fight. I even know how Toriyama drew manga differently than others, which helps in creating cool stories and panels that lead into the others. Plus I've watched and read GT, Super and "almost" every fanfiction ever made and listened to countless what if stories and interviews by English KZbinrs and even a couple Spanish and Japanese channels and stories. Although it's with subtitles since I only know English and Norwegian. Plus I've read almost every databook and watched and read almost every interview that Toriyama ever made, which really helps explain many things found in the series. It's also perfect to quote things from them because they're straight out of his mouth and they go all the way to 2023 so there's always up to date stuff too. I absolutely love Dragon Ball, but what funny, is that the anime is not in my top 5 favourite anime series and the DB Manga doesn't come into my top 5 favourite manga series either. None of the movies even come into my top 5 favourite anime movies either. Nothing in Dragon Ball is in my top 5, the manga is the highest thing at being my 6th favourite manga series, being beaten by all of JoJo's. Also this is all my opinion, feel free to disagree. I just find it funny how I consume DB content every day in some form and I think about DB in some form too, it's something which I hold extremely dear to me and have lived alongside for my entire life, yet it's not even in any of my top 5 lists. Literally the only thing from the entire DB franchise that reaches any top 5 list at all, is DB Evolution. That's my 4th least favourite movie of all time. Like that movie is a disgusting nightmare. A stain on the franchise and for that, it's definitely one of my absolute least favourite movies of all time. Being beaten only by the live action Avatar movie made by M. Night Shiyamalabadingdong. That physically, actually hurt me.

The thing with the Daima style is it didn’t feel plastic-like, which Dragon Ball Super and its movies sort of did. The characters look on model and similar to their 90’s designs, the lightning is better, and the animation is fluid. I don’t know how they’d manage that for an entire remake but it’s incredible

[@hctaz]

I'm only a minute 30 seconds into this video, but I had to comment that I think the reason this is so universally beloved by fans is that the people behind Daima took the lessons and feedback learned from Super and DBS: Broly. DBS: Broly, to me, was the perfect modern way to capture the old Dragonball look. It really felt like they were trying to recreate the look and feel of the original anime using modern techniques instead of using modern techniques to make an anime based on Dragonball (which is what Super felt like to me). I think most people I know were excited to see DBS: Broly's hand animated moments because of how good they looked, so this is just a further reflection of that. Dragonball as an anime was plagued with a lot of issues that I think could completely and totally be fixed in modern times. There were rushed episodes, strict schedules to follow, multiple studios, poor pacing at times when they started to catch up to the manga too quickly, and just all of that. I think a modern remake of Dragonball following 1:1 with the source manga material with a huge budget (because they can frankly get away with it at this point- Dragonball as a series is HUGE) and time to cook up episode after episode that look as good as something like DBS: Broly or the redone shots from Daima would just absolutely slay. I see a lot of people saying, "We don't need a remake because the original is right here" and I just don't agree. Anime was handled differently back then- especially with a series that wasn't yet as popular as it had eventually become. We have the hindsight now of knowing the FULL story. We don't need to have the animators turn five minutes of a fight on Namek into multiple 30 minute episodes anymore because we don't need to wait for Toriyama to draw more chapters. Dragonball is a complete work now. I'd say go for it.

​@@richtersundeen6105 They'll be making dragon ball either way, it's only really a question of quality at this point. It's not a matter of commitment so much as it is resource allocation, which I'm sure is what you meant, I just like to be senantic. The real point, that I think most would agree with, is that I'd much prefer they dedicate some staff to a true remake as opposed to a lot of their other projects. It would likely make more money, too. If I'm being honest, a lot of the other stuff they've been churning out barely qualifies as dragon ball quality wise. I'd definitely be up for more higher quality remakes. Much better in my opinion than rushed or shoddy projects trying to capitalize on a trend or craze, as some of their recent stuff has been. Look at how successful kai was, even with it's issues. Dragon ball has always been about top tier action anyway, giving it a good old re-do would be amazing for everyone.

The answer is: It depends. It’s easy to look at some hype as fuck 20 sec animation and go “I want that” but it becomes a different story altogether when we’re talking about a full 20 min ep. Could they maintain that quality? Especially for something as long as DBZ? As Mark said, DBZ is iconic for a reason, and while I think a remake could provide some nice updates to a 30+ year anime, I do think it’s possible that you lose what made that anime special with more modern animation.

[@BbPp-z2r]

The main thing that worries me about the idea of a remake is the fact that we wouldn’t have the good old Shunsuke Kikuchi score because of how badly preserved it is. With so many tracks being released in Mono or simply unreleased. Which resulted in what happened with Kai. I also saw some people being worried about censorship but if it’s not heavy, I wouldn’t mind that (just like I don’t mind it all that much in Kai). However, I would lie if I said that I wouldn’t love to see OG DB and DBZ (that are both just Dragon Ball in the manga) remade with this art style and this level of animation. And two things that I would love even more about that is that more people would see OG DB and it would also be redubbed in other languages with a far more faithful script than the old versions. As OG DB doesn’t have any dub that’s good all the way through among the ones I know.

Goku vs Cell for example, starts out fairly mediocre, but somewhere just before Cell blows up the Arena it gets turned up to 11.

It's where Vegeta tracks Goku and shoots a ki blast, but Goku gains distance and drop kicks him. Although iconic, i feel if done faithfully, it'd be done really well. That, and Goku's kaioken x20 to Frieza. I believe it was Goku missing punches as opposed to him landing hits to send Frieza flying to eventually blasting the x20 Kame Hama Ha should be angled appropriately to show the anime was off.

11:37 I 101% agree with ajay here. Ajay is objectively correct. I have absolutely no objections to this decision whatsoever.

[@ReanimatedBlueJay]

For your first animation is a long time, you did really well. Idk what on earth possessed you to animate the way you did and this is coming from somebody who used to animate on his phone with his fingers XD. You definitely have the required "animator's insanity" brain cell. The super saiyan scene was limited but man the energy was hype, even got a nice impact frame. As somebody who animates daily, I cannot agree with you more about how ridiculously hard it can feel to draw loose clothing moving sporadically in the wind. It's easy to not notice when you only get the full result, but in the process it never feels right and sometimes that makes it better, which is mind-numbing to rationalize. XD The pan up shot for Vegeta was a nice change, I like the original but this makes his nervousness a bit more obvious in this version so I think it sets the tone a bit better and makes good use of perspective. With the 18 shot, I'm so glad you pointed out how different the approach has to be for action sequences compared to still shots. The manga panel is good and works well for the medium, but a lot more needs to go into animation to make it hit that sweet spot. The 18 shot was nice and the hair was nicely animated, but considering the context of the scene, it probably wouldn't even last a second to show the speed before going right to the next panel. Manga doesn't have to worry as much about timing of the movements of a fight compared to the content since it's a still image, but it can easily make or break the believability and impact of animation if mishandled. The Gohan shot I think showed the biggest difference between animation and manga as a medium out of any of these. The manga is a classic. It's a fire shot, there's no debate there and the animation based on the panel was also great. rather than stiff, it felt simple and if that was on my screen when watching the show, I'd be out of my chair for sure XD. But while it is great, anime is simply different. And as you pointed out, the ability to choose what works and elevate that beyond what the paper can hold is why so many people love it and want to see it. The tensing of the muscles, the twitches of the hair prior, the smoke clearing, the shaking of the ground, the way everyone else at the time could barely move, and finally the different angles from which the transformation could be shown were what made that scene feel iconic, alive even. The key is in all the little details. Just like with animating one person (guides, lineart, color, shading, lighting, filters, secondary effects), we get direction + animation + sound effects + music + VA performances + editing/compositing, etc. The animation process is layers upon layers of little things working together to bring art to life. And that is both insanely difficult, and insanely rewarding. A really interesting thing is, DBZ Kakarot also animated their 3D characters in certain scenes that were more faithful to the manga compared to the anime. Your "I am a Super Saiyan" and Gohan SSJ2 transformation actually reminded me of them specifically. They also had to take some liberties but still acted very faithful in both scenes. (totally not salty about the lack of final flash, but I digress, they gave us a lot of other good stuff) TLDR: y'all did really good work on this. That must've taken a while and I hope y'all had the best sleep when that was over. An interesting experiment would be trying to animate a scene/exchange based on the manga that you yourself would change to fit into animation format, if able. Doesn't even have to be dragonball, could just be anything you'd want animated personally. (I say this right after saying much of a pain animation is XD)

[@Tchado1000]

btw Mark , this didnt just happen with Dragon ball . It happened with the recent new Kinnikuman , the first episode of the new anime was a recap of the entire first show , and the remade/reimagined shots of the classic blew our fucking minds. That community is also calling for a full remake of the classic show in that style.

As a Story Artist, it's always nice to see when this stuff happens. Proper visual storytelling can be so nuanced and difficult, especially when you get the differences between mediums and directorial vision. As always, thank you for showcasing stuff like this and sharing what that experience is like to actually try and do it! :)

As someone who always noticed the change in art quality from episode to episode when I was younger a remake with this quality would be great ! 🙌🏽

[@ArtistSoul]

Quick note. I actually animate in Procreate on my iPad as well, same situation as you. I check my animation using the 'animation assist' feature. It's not perfect but it does the job. I also have Dreams but as you've noted - it's ass. This why I ended up animating in Procreate. Basically doing it all frame by frame with a max of 60 layers per document. If what I'm animating takes more than 60 layers then it's off to a new document to keep animating 😅

[@loganwimsatt8780]

I'm crying right now, I felt exactly how Mark lays this out, never imagined EVERYONE felt the same. That Majin Vegeta 5 seconds....are the greatest 5 seconds of my life, besides last night.

[@dilldall2080]

If we ever get a complete remake, it has to start from the Pilaf Arc to the Majin Buu Arc. The early WTs reanimated in modern days would be amazing. Also that "I AM THE SUPER SAIYAN" animation was GAS.

[@darkfield1952]

I'm not excited about the idea of a remake because it would be a straight 1:1 adaptation of the manga. So all the filler scenes we love would be gone, and the side characters would be even more useless than they already are (yes, they do even less in the manga than in the anime). All the improvements the anime made would be gone, like how Goku gets the divine water, the Piccolo Arc in general, the Gohan survival episodes, all the moments where side characters do something cool or help out in fights, the peaceful moments where the characters just hang out - None of that's in the manga. And knowing Toei nowadays, they’d probably cut out all the blood too.

[@cjkalandek996]

But I hate the filler in the original _DBZ_ Anime. It dragged things out to such an annoyingly unnecessary degree. Which is why I like _DBZ Kai_ more.

[@sophiadebar382]

Same. Some people dislike the filler, but honestly, the filler is why Piccolo’s death hit so hard in the first place. We actually had time to get to know his and Gohan’s relationship

[@FlyingwithFire]

I wouldnt mind some of the filler being gone. I legit thought I hated the goku vs the red ribbon arc because it took forever in the anime but in the manga it was fun as fuck

[@RedMoonLoop]

Don't we know that toriyama had some involvement or at least consultation on some of the filler moments? At the very least we know that he approved and retroactively applied some of the filler to his own manga later

[@darkfield1952]
