Wait...did Kubota animate the backgrounds during that cut of Gokuu flying through the Red Ribbon Army headquarters or were those CG? I'm afraid my eyes are failing me here.

My favorite part with Gokuu dodging Supreme Commander Black's attacks inside of that office. The camera work is really kinetic, something the 1986 cartoon rarely had the time or drawings to play with. Seeing the simplistic—if deceptively difficult to animate—designs used for such 'modern' storyboarding is really surreal.

The movie has its flaws but I think it was a really interesting way of developing new art forms.

Well yes this whole thing is by him
It's so different to see this without the horrible green filter that Toei applies to their Blu-rays.

I love how Kubota does the animation in 1s here, the circular movement makes it give such a nice springy feel.
Woah we're near thousand point already? That's fast

Same here, I don't get why they're insistent on that.

most likely it's an encoding problem where they forget to switch the LUT to accommodate home video.
Straight up thought these were motion graphics the first time I saw it 💀 Kubota is too godlike
