Ok someone explain how the pale as hell Pirate girl(don't remember her name) now has a tan darker then anything in the mediterrian? And no sailing the sea is not a correct answer.

@Kia
I don't know. I prefered the harsh line look of old Toriyama (Ah, I love my Chrono Trigger poster). Of course, this is the anime designer's interpretation of Toriyama's work, so it's been cleaned up a bit.

@VictorStillwater: Don't know if they're actually kids, but from the timeslot I guess this show is aimed at kids. (Not that this necessarily makes it bad or anything - just saying.)

Maybe another positive step - in addition to the game itself of course - at helping to move x360 away in public perception from the 'otaku brand' console position.

I don't really like the guy's style but these designs are okay (and the dragon's grin is kind of cute).

"Oy vey... My previous comment made me sound like a pedophile..."

I don't see how, but OK. Anywho, pretty sure the designs are just super deformed. The characters are all around 16-20 except for the cat.

Why are these kids in puberty already?

Wow, I'm impressed. The game and stuff looked good, and I used to hate Toriyama's stuff. This is actually attractive, though, he's really come a long way!

It's Toriyama, but the pirate girl looks a lot like Ah My Goddess' Urd. :)

Heehee.

These are kids, right?

Yes, Akira Toriyama is the character designer for Blue Dragon. That's why the characters resemble those from Dragon Ball, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest... etc.

Looking forward to this, if only to get my first taste of the franchise.

IS it done by Akira Toriyama (or however you spell his name...)?

@Allcars:
Even that pirate girl on the left looks like a character from that anime which I never touched.

Nice to see they actually went with the game content to make the anime, rather than the manga stuff which has zero to do with it other than "shadows."

@Allcars: That's because Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragonball, did the art for blue dragon.
