The evolution of Shintani's style shown at 5:01 is amazing. He really learned to draw DB quickly. I'm a little sad that the final nose is bigger and ugly compared to the second one, but everything else looks a lot better. I still wish that the necks were slightly thicker, though.
@@hassankhalid8917 That will most likely be the case, yeah. But I just wish that Shintani eventually fixes that detail with the neck, the noses and the feature placement to bring his official designs closer to absolute perfection
@@taylorm3873 Don't know why being unable to draw makes a person less capable to criticize someone's art, but OK. I find it rather sad that people like you can't take the fact that other individuals share opinions that are different to yours, which probably leads to your last comment about how this video was 'obnoxious'.
Thanks for giving us a chance to explore more of the actual animations and designs of our fave anime. Especially for those who aren't experience analyzing the various designs. This channel is awesome
6:50 I get why people were upset with the eye shape, but that expression is divine. I don't know how you can come up with a complaint for it. Also, I hope Gogeta's widows peak is a bit more defined in the movie itself.
@@jessechatmanchatman1646 gotta agree w/ I'm super EVIL about that, even if I don't agree with his opinion on the Frieza sheet that's called basic human decency, my dude
Naohiro Shintani is probably an example, if not THE biggest example, of Dragon Ball's leap into a style evolution that's happening to its art style. Tadayoshi Yamamuro's shiny action figure style has not been seen in much promo material lately and you couldn't believe how refreshing that is. It's so nice knowing how the movie's hype is reeling new fans into it with all the recent trailers popping by these past couple weeks also. My brother, who is not normally a fan of Dragon Ball, outside of the Battle of Gods movie and the last arc of Super, has gotten very excited for the movie and we actually started bonding again because of it. It's almost surreal to think that, if this movie wasn't so visually appealing and interesting just on what we've seen so far, I'd be damned to be living in the bad timeline had this movie went with modern Yamamuro designs. 😣 Those Gogeta designs are quite varied by their different perspectives as you stated but are also far more appealing to me than anything I've seen in Super's design sheets. I always thought Yamamuro was still a good artist but thanks to you, Ajay, I have seen the light on how good character design sheets should look and help an animator understand the subject's body structure in various expressions. And yes, that smug Freeza face is the stuff of legends and well-deserved to be your spirit animal. 😂 I'm so happy that you're going to Japan not just for the movie but for the country and experience also. Make sure you don't die on us, good sir. You're far too young and important to go on so soon but I'm sure you'll be fine over there. I hear Dragon Ball fans from the anime's motherland are the most divisive so you'll probably find a lot of haters there. Or the opposite, you never know! I liked this video, especially the other ones based entirely on the character designs, so I must say as your faithful subscriber that I am really looking forward to seeing your future breakdowns on more Super: Broly movie's content. Thanks again, Ajay!
Minor one but I love how in one of the shots of Blue Goku they gave him his little spike of hair again that points away from the main hair. It's really minor and I get why many people wouldn't notice or care about it plus it could very well just be perspective, but I always loved that little notch, it gave blue SOME distinction from the ordinary Super Saiyan form that really to me was part of what gave it some identity.
DJ-Hotwings Yeah, I know how you feel. I believe even in Toriyama's original version that extra spike was just a byproduct of his modern approach to drawing hair, not a conscious design choice. At least Goku's Super Saiyan God form now looks more distinct from his regular hair.
@@Toanuriamer99 I'm pretty sure it's on purpose becuase when he went ssj the hairstyle did not I repeat DID NOT HAVE that extra spike so it was definitely something they noticed to differentiate between the two forms besides the color
Son Goku It was on purpose in Yamamuro's design, but are there two pictures of SSGSS Goku drawn by Toriyama that are publicly available? If both of them were drawn with the extra spike, it was probably intentional.
I was loving it all,(especially all of Frieza's expressions) and then the Bulma sheet came up, and I practically cheered when I saw her shouting expression in the bottom right. I never had a strong opinion on Bulma one way or the other, but seeing her look so good here, even though she can't be playing a massive role in the story, really just makes this all even better. They all just look so right, and that's a relief after what Super gave us for most of its run
Looks like his head is tilted down slightly. Which lends to and exaggerates the scrunched nose n mouth on blue. Freezer looks absolutely magnificent and the best imo.
Finally got around to watching this as i've now seen the movie in person (i was trying to keep spoilers to a minimum). These character sheets are so expressive, it's lovely.
I just love Shintani's 'high' noses and mouths. Feels like a little nod to the overall 90's anime designs, where visual approaches like that were sort of common
People will always talk about how great Takahashi's art is and will go the "Takahashi art and Shida animation" way when discussing them, but I think people sleep on Shida's skill all around. Look at his Gogeta still (2:19) and you see the beautiful Z style drawing and that great shading that, in my opinion, is masterfully done.
I tried so hard to avoid spoilers and then youtube threw thumbnails of Gogeta at me along with various shots of the final battle. Seriously how huge of a surprise would this have been if they hadn't spoiled Gogeta? There would've been an audible "Thunk" as every jaw in the theatre dropped at once.
2:00 Thank you! Some guy on Kanzenshuu was trying to argue with me that I was some nutty fan-theorist by saying you could sort of see Vegeta on one half and Goku on the other. It's one of the reasons he's designed the way he is!
I'm neither Goku nor Vegeta I am *Goat-geta* it's over Broly I've come for you! Every force you create has an echo, your own Bad Energy will be ur undoing!
I agree with you Ajay, my favorite is the SSJ design (when that first picture of Ssj Goku first came out in the new style, it was also my favorite. Seems the SSJ art style he uses is a step above the others). That SSB has awkward feature placement and once again like you mentioned, it's one of the things that while small to some, are big to others (like me). I really hope continued improvement in that area evolves. Some time ago when I saw the Goku expression sheet I immediately noticed that the face was no longer derpy as it was in the KV which made me very happy. I still think bringing the nose down as you did on Social Media of that shot will make it look 10x better, but at least Goku doesn't look like he originally did. That KV really annoyed me lol. I personally enjoyed Yamamuro's Frieza a lot so I disagree with you on that point. Frieza looks okay in these newer sheets but there are some shots that still look awkward to me. However, it's another thing that hopefully continues to improve. It's no secret that overall I'm not the biggest fan of all of Shintani's new designs. Coming from someone who still really prefers Yamamuro's style, I have to say, if Shintani continues to make these little improvements here and there with the focus on feature placement as well as making the characters look a little more their age, many of the issues that fans have with him will slowly dissappear. Cheers for the video Ajay, and hope you enjoy your stay in Tokyo!
Shintanis designs are very beautiful and give that nostalgic 90s feel to it it doesn’t feel like dbs it feels more like z toyotaro needs to take notes upon this or get replaced by shintani in drawing the manga
Yeah that development of Goku looks beautiful, you can see the little changes they made that makes the art style looks enticing as the original while feeling fresh off the block.
I have ALWAYS said that Gogeta has Vegeta's ENTIRE face but with a strand of hair coming down, which he got from Goku. He doesn't have Vegeta's face on one side and Goku's face on the other like people keep saying. He had Vegeta's entire face since his first appearance against Janemba.
I've been wondering if that re-shading of ssb's hair and aura is just that, a re-shading, or if it's actually meant to be ssb evolution. Either way I think it just looks soooo much better!
Only thing I don't particularly like about the new designs is how young everyone looks. Goku, Vegeta, Bulma - they are mature, 40 year or people. They really shouldn't look like their Frieza Saga counterparts. Yes, yes, Saiyans keep their young appearances for most of their lives but look how well their maturity was shown by Toriyama in the manga and people overseeing the anime. That's a nice throwback to the early days, I'll give them that.
I think the reason why Gogeta now rocks the black-yellow clothes has much more to do with Super Saiyan Blue than with bringing it closer to Gotenks. In the old films, orange accented the Super Saiyan hair quite nicely. In this movie though, blue pairs with yellow far better than with orange, and SSB Gogeta will be the form everyone remembers from this movie so they had to nail the colors just right.
I am really not surprised that they added Gogeta Blue at all, if not only for the fact that now that Blue exists, they don’t have to add SSJ4 Gogeta into Dragon Ball FighterZ Because you already know he’s gonna be in FighterZ
Amazing video as always! We'll be in Tokyo next week to watch the movie as well, have you found any movie theatres that will show the film with subtitles?
That base form man, he just looks so cool with his arms crossed looking into the distance, I love these designs!
aye

Well it's just Shintani's design we will see that thick muscular neck when Takahashi and Shida animate it j saying

Why are your reviews and breakdowns so natural and interesting.... Keep it up. Us as fans will be there for you!
Such pretty. Much wow
Hi mark
Totally Not Mark it’s good but could be better. His forehead is too big and his face is too small just like Ajay states.
@@Amplifymagic What? His forehead is fine.
@@GOD_lovesyousomuch study Toriyama’s original design and come back.
@@Amplifymagic Study art then come back.
Thanks for giving us a chance to explore more of the actual animations and designs of our fave anime. Especially for those who aren't experience analyzing the various designs. This channel is awesome
And dear lord I hope Shintani stays around. We cannot go back to the super-esque designs.
Dear lord shut up. No one asked for your annoying hate.
Dbs was fine you idiotic Dbz fans just wanna rush it and yet it was fine.

Great vid, shintani is too good!
My heart can't take much more of this hype.
The designs look so gooood!
I honestly cannot unsee that edit you did on blue. I prefer that so much that I wish you didn’t point it out 😂
I loled to hard at “the hype is maximum” line.
Itz beyond maximum, its...MAXIMUMER!!!!!

Still wish SSG Gogeta was a thing in the movie. Really liking the base form in particular

Nah, that's almost certainly just your eyes playing tricks on you. As you know, Shintani loves using small details to convey perspective and anatomy.
@@Toanuriamer99 Darn. Ah well. I adore Shintani's designs with all my heart but I'm gonna miss that little tuft of hair...

Good lord THAT SSB GOKU EXPRESSION SHEET. Can a man marry a piece of paper? Because I want to.
Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Munchkin Face.
Truly, the ultimate form.
I think the base Gogeta is my favorite overall, but i do like that super saiyan angle in these designs.
The designs are💯👌🏿
Man, I am really digging that top-row/center-left Broly face.
*_Shintani es Love, Shintani is Life_*

I love the blue coloring they chose for SSB in this movie, the darker blue really makes it look good.
Could you leave links to the images you use in your videos??
I’m hyped asf I love all the designs
Looks like his head is tilted down slightly. Which lends to and exaggerates the scrunched nose n mouth on blue.
Freezer looks absolutely magnificent and the best imo.
This movie, hype overload
These designs are amazing.
These really reflect 90s the DBZ a lot more.
I
In my opinion Vegito will always be the most badass fusion
I’m so happy to see the shiny characters models gone!
SHINTANI NEEDS TO STAY.
The goku sheet gives me goosebumps. Its so nostalgic and i love it so much.
Gogeta's designs are EPIC!!
I actually like Shintani's high noses and mouths even if it's different to what we've seen.
Reminds me of studio cockpit guy AKA that awesome guy who animated SSJ Goku Vs Kid buu
Finally got around to watching this as i've now seen the movie in person (i was trying to keep spoilers to a minimum). These character sheets are so expressive, it's lovely.
My dude with a video breakdown. I love these
6:00 This sheet is absolutely fantastic!!
I just love Shintani's 'high' noses and mouths.

Broly’s face on top and 2nd from the left is just amazing. I can’t wait to see where it appears, and maybe make it into a reaction image.
Frieza is now Team Rocket and I can never ever take him seriously again.
Gogeta looks so spicy
The hype is maximumer!!
Surprised freeza be like “oh my god I should not have brought that broly guy here”
Man that's the real Son Goku on those expression sheet ^^ By the wat nice video as always
i love Shintani, it's like modern Toriyama but with muscles and good drawing !

That based gogeta looks like something straight out of a budokai game

I actually like the Gogeta design better from the jenemba movie, he looks like tarzan in this movie 😂
Feed me all of those spoilers next week :'3
Shintani does artichoke hair. It's beautiful.
I've been wondering if that re-shading of ssb's hair and aura is just that, a re-shading, or if it's actually meant to be ssb evolution. Either way I think it just looks soooo much better!
Damn it Ajay!! I was just about to go to bed until this popped up! Must watch! XD
Enjoy your trip dude :)
Bra : growns a bit in this movie
Trunks and Goten : still the same?
Enjoy your trip man, have a blast and be sure to scream your lungs out during the movie! :D

I never heard you say "What is up guys" lol
Great
Leave it too AyJay too give us the best review on animation 🤫💯
Design of broly is superb
Bless this movie because it means more videos for ajay and there’s more to come since it hasn’t even come out it yet
Vegeta face, from blue to base.
Thank kami we have these new designs and characther sheets !!!
*HYPE IS MAXIMUMER*
He has that "gimme all your candy" face
That ssjb goku sheet gave me cell games vibes
Yeah I like Shintani's designs ALOT more than the last artist.
I am really not surprised that they added Gogeta Blue at all, if not only for the fact that now that Blue exists, they don’t have to add SSJ4 Gogeta into Dragon Ball FighterZ
Because you already know he’s gonna be in FighterZ
when Bulla gets a design sheet but Son Gohan doesnt
Enjoy your trip to Japan , you'll have plenty of time to work when you're home ! ^o^
Make sure to check out and reserve a spot to go up the Tokyo Skytree! It is Dragon Ball themed with the current movie being the big attraction ;)
Have a great trip
Pans head is built like a piece of bread it’s so cute I love these designs it’s inspired me to try and start drawing again
King Rah03 that was bra
Christian Marcotte tru I just noticed the blue hair pan was the one who had the bib tho back in super
We at southeast asia got to watch this film at 27th december, so... hope your spoiler filled video will be after that
Go ahead and enjoy the country, I’m sure we can wait for the movie review
Honestly I'm glad they went with yellow instead of orange, just makes him a bit more new and interesting.
YAY
Amazing video as always! We'll be in Tokyo next week to watch the movie as well, have you found any movie theatres that will show the film with subtitles?
Oh shit I’m ready
Glad they brought the widow’s peak back.
We're going to be exponentially spoiled by this movie, so much so that I don't think I can go back to watching Yamamuro supervise.
Do a VLOG in Japan outside the cinema
Yep
So hyped!
Hopefully we actually get a bit more Goku in Gogeta.
The only issue with Frieza I have is that he's not smug enough :P
