Ahem. It works on so many levels!


That'd better be the pendant Marle's pointing at.  :shock:


That is so perverted!


I'm sorry! But come on...Toriyama is kinda of pervvy. DBZ had many moments of lechery.

1) Toriyama didn't do all of DBZ, like the FFC release of CT, underlings took over after the first story and Akira also did the last of the series. If you want to compare, Toriyama did more of Dragonball than DBZ. Also, DB>DBZ.

2) How the heck can you say that the CC characters are more realistic!?! Hello? Kid! Almost none of the female dimensions are realistic (except maybe, like Macha & Sprigg or something...). I think we have to take in account that all of these characters take place in an anime/manga world...So nothing's 'real' and everything's up for grabs.

3) I loved the look of all the CT characters. I mean, the little touches like having Magus w/a widow's peak were things that really made the characters stand out. I mean, the complexities of Robos design in and of itself were amazing. He looks futuristic, and yet, still from a very different world's future. Frog too was nice. CC had some good designs, but I just didn't think many of them stood out a lot...A lot of their costumes seemed just like that...costumes. Not many of them seemed like they were actually wearing the clothes of the trail-worn traveler and hero. But of course, many of them weren't that...so maybe that's why I didn't like their designs...they don't fit right...

I thought Toriyama did do all of the original DBZ story and manga. The cartoon wasn't done by him (animés are never made by mangaka in Japan because they are 2 different jobs).

I always liked the spites better than the art. I don't know why, but the closer I look at CT's sprites the more detailed they seem to be.

They're very pixely close-up though.

Yeah, but this onetime I enlarged Magus' portrait and I really noticed the bags under his eyes and the crease or his eyebrows.

I would have to say Chrono Trigger, as I have always liked Akira Toriyama's style. His character's may not look all that real, but they always end up looking impressive none the less.

But don't get me wrong though, as I still enjoy the art for Chrono Cross. It's just not AS good as the art for Chrono Trigger.

Why do so many people like DBZ? I think it is very boring, the episodes take forever, and the fighting always ends with a Kamehameha! It's just like Napoleon Dynomite! Execept DBZ is better than Napoleon Dynomite... :P

Aight! 50 posts! Now I'm a guardian! :shock:

I'm guessing you mean in general because nobody (at the very least not 'so many') in here has really said they do...I said Dragonball kicks ass, and that it does...Dragonball Z is iffy at best...

Napoleon Dynamite isn't about the story though really, which, is admittedly slow and aimless...It's about the characters and the nostalgia factor. If you're not feelin either one of those or it's sense of comedy, it's just not for you (and 2 bad 4 j00!)...

Yuuki, definitely.

Though, I do have appreciation for Toriyama's style.

Toryiama I think more detail was put into his characters than the Cross ones. Like V_T said they look like they should be heroes.

I think it's more effective if they DON'T look like heroes.
