Transforming Dragon Ball Super into Dragon Ball Z | EPISODE #1 | The Anatomy of Anime

Thanks to Magic Spoon for sponsoring today’s video! To try a variety pack, go to → magicspoon.thld.co/NOTMARK and use code NOTMARK to get $5 off today!
Dragon Ball Super has had some bad animation throughout the years, but I'm sure you're all aware of that. But have you thought about how the artstyle and colours play into the vibe? Myself, Editor San, Anime Ajay and Trev are gonna transform some of Super's best artwork into the style of Dragon Ball Z's best.
We will be changing some Goku's, Freeza's, Gohan and Ultra Instinct. I'm very excited to share this with you! This might not be Dragon ball Z but it's Dragon Ball Super perhaps how it might have looked had the circumstances been different :)

[@chshirerat5487]

15:02 I think the reason these Saiyans were skinny was because of the background they were given. IN their universe, universe 6, the Saiyans were more peacekeepers than warriors. A more relaxed lifestyle due to not having to be conditioned by Frieza and bloodline before. Because in their universe Frost is "leading the universe to peace" or something. When in reality, compared to Frieza's more upfront tactics, Frost was doing underhanded deals and sort of being a background tyrant

[@sapphimoon8594]

All of you are incredible artists and each approach achieved the 90's style almost perfectly, great job! Regarding the coloring in Super, I think that the very bright and vibrant style is a thing that a lot of new animes are falling into, for example, the new shaman king anime looks extremely bright to me and that ends up being a little distracting. I would love if in new anime they used more filters to make it a little darker, more pleasing to the eyes (so many people like 90's anime aesthetics for this reason)

[@vgamer4993]

The aura issue was really interesting to see broken down. I personally really like that the auras for the newer, godly forms are heavier and thicker. It always gave me a sense that the energy was more powerful, or perhaps “more concentrated” is a better way of putting it. However, even I can admit that Super definitely went overboard with them, Ultra Instinct being the prime example. I think the approach taken of more classic aura designs with a large variation in colors compared to the classics worked well… to a point. SSJB Kaio Ken easily looked the best in my opinion, Goku Black’s looked good, the little we saw of Trunks was alright, but Ultra Instinct… Personally, I think the redone UI aura was an example of going too far in the other direction. It was made so simplistic, that it really did just look like a standard SSJ aura colored different. For better or worse, UI has one of the most unique auras in the series, and losing all of those unique qualities leaves me feeling more than a little disappointed. Even a different design for the energy outline would’ve helped it feel more distinct, but instead we got “SSJ aura but white.” I can’t help but feel like there was some missed opportunity here, I don’t know. TL;DR, someone with no art skills rambles about art.

[@AntResilient]

I totally agree with you! Personally for me the best thing about the whole Super design choices is the auras, I know they tend to be lackluster in execution but the effort they went through to differentiate then is at least worth nothing, the fire of the SSGod, the comet-like particles of the UI omen, or the eerie aura of SSRose are small details that I really enjoyed and praise from time to time, I think it helps A LOT to make the transformations feel different, just like back on the day when SS2 had a lot more sparks than SS1.

that last point about drawing skills is irrelevant, you don't need to know how to draw in order to criticize art! (especially considering your point is excellent)

[@runbaa9285]

Honestly, the new art style introduced in DBS Broly might just be Toei's signature style from now on. The design has also been applied to One Piece and it's such a joy to look at. Color pops out, the looser design helps the animators a bunch, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the design style goes beyond Dragon Ball and One Piece to other Toei series.

11:49 I love how even though it was Capcom who was influenced by Akira Toriyama; Capcom has delivered some of the most iconic and timeless sound effects to ever exist which are used in almost every content creators' soundbank. Including Toei. That chime was Megaman X5's Start screen. X's 1st armor was heavily influenced by Saiyan/ Frieza Force armor, same goes for alot of the concept art at the time.

Well, you've committed this much. Might as well redraw the entire series, team. Great work Mark and friends.

This was super cool. While I never had a problem with Super’s art style, the differences between it and Z is striking.

[@jantheking7028]

I didn't have a problem with the art style in the ToP or Broly movie, but I definitely had a problem with the artstyle in the first few arcs. I'm just glad it improved.

[@wellingtonafonsodecarvalho9842]

@@jantheking7028 at least the animation will be better in dbs season 2

[@Junebug89]

I've always thought Z looked better, although super definitely got a lot better around the ToP arc. I'm not a huge fan of the really heavy lines they use in ToP but at least it is distinctive and it looked better than the early stuff (even the rushed schedule aside). Mark did some really great work here picking up on some of the reasons *why* I like Z more - things I probably couldn't have picked up on myself. Funnily enough, one of the things it really makes me ache for is for them to finally release a high quality version with the English dub (including score). Dragon boxes with at least the option for funimation dubs and Faulconer score, *please*.

[@BabushkaKoi]

Something about that old 90's look will always resonate with me, it's so good and so lively. I never realized how much the de-muscling of the cast bothered me until I got to the first Universe tournament. I know it's not the end of the world but something about seeing the whole cast with bodies made for fighting as well as the old color pallets used for DBS : Broly really brings back the kinetic power in each shot and frame. Also THANK YOU for aging Trunks and Goten, I can't stand them still looking like small children with the years passing.

[@toastytuber3596]

I love that drawing of Frost, because it makes him look as evil as he actually is. The way frost was drawn in the anime isn't bad but he didn't look evil to me. Your drawing of him also gives him that evil tone but doesn't make him look as evil as Frieza which is good because I think we can all agree that Frieza is way more evil than Frost

[@beancheesedip8337]

Frost not "looking" evil might've been the original intention. I mean, remember, when we're first introduced to him, he's presented as a good person, the exact opposite of Frieza. Sure, later we find out he's a scumbag just like Frieza, but when we're initially introduced, he's pretending to be a good guy because that's the persona he puts on for Universe 6.

One of the best videos I've seen on this style of art. We all love the old DBZ art. You guys did an amazing job

[@Katastrophe9009]

This video really puts into perspective how much the series and Toriyama's art style in general has changed over the years. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I must say this era of art is my favorite the series has ever looked. DBS: Broly was the best bit of Dragonball animation we've had in years, just amazing to watch the whole time, even the calm scenes. The characters were way too skinny and cartoony in Super to me, I legit had no idea Goten and Trunks were supposed to be preteens, they look like 5 year olds as stated in the video. And Gohan looks like he reverted back to his preteen days, wtf? Great work on the vid guys, the art was awesome and I wish they'd go back to the DBZ or even DBS: Broly style again.

Not gonna lie, the DBZ artstyle looks awesome compared to what we got in super, the Broly movie was pretty lit tho and it actually had pretty damn good animation and art, unlike many episodes in the super series which kinda threw me off a lot, it would look much better in this old artstyle

Literally everything looks so much better. Put aside the fact that there's a '90s filter on it, you guys KILLED the super art. Honestly the only reason I didn't watch Super is because I can't sit through an episode that looks so clunky. That Zamasu has to be my fave tho. His face is so much more menacing than the original.

These drawings are sick!!!! Loving how you and your mates chose to tackle the different art styles of veterans that worked on z. However, one thing that your drawings seem to lack is blood. That’s one of the visual cues that the fights in dragonball had progressed. In super it just doesn’t feel the same. But an awesome video as always. You should talk to forgotten relics as he’s another dragonball artist who takes an interest in the general production of dragonball, animators mostly though.
