Well, I'm not sure how you can compare DBZ and Big O's character models. DBZ eyes are basically just massive triangles, which I agree looks silly.

Try Hokuto no Ken, then. The eyes are generally smaller (except when it comes to little kids, obviously). It's markedly 80s, unlike the previous two- very much 90s- examples.

But really, comparing DBZ and Big O's appearances is like comparing The Simpsons' and 90s X-Men's. =p

Yeah I don't get it either. Big O looks more like Batman TAS than anything else.

(Just FYI, that link to Smith is broken for me.)

Of course, Trekwave is entitled to his opinion. I mean, O6 and I know anime pretty well, and with experience comes.. like.. I dunno. An eye for detail?

Most people who don't know TF well (i.e. most people) couldn't tell a BW Transformer from a Cybertron one, could they?

To me it looked more like the difference between Simpsons and South park. Both still have big eyes but different animation styles. I see what you're saying though.

Now you see what you did?? We bullied him! =p

(Still interested by the fact that Trekwave liked Ninja Scroll, which basically has an identical art style to Hokuto no Ken, and to a lesser extent, Big O. I mean, it looks flash and everything, but that's 'cos it's a movie, not a series. ...I mean, I guess you're talking about the movie rather than the series?)

Soooo... Do y'know what you liked about it?

I remember it having a lot of quite unique and visceral fight scenes, which is a decent reason. I'm just interested as to how it overcomes your dislike for big eyes.

I don't recall the eyes being that big. In fact, I remember that being one of the reasons that I found it watchable and was able to focus on the story. That's about all I remember really, it's easily been 13+ years since I've seen it.

Welp, that's another one for the Hypothetical Future Meetup's to-do list! =D

...BWprowl and I will understand if you don't stick around after Ninja Scroll to watch a bunch of cutesy Magical Girl stuff, tho'. =3
