Midjourney AI was used to recreate Dragon Ball characters in a 1990s American live-action film. The combination of these two references produced a rather surprising result.
The AI-generated video has been shared on many different websites, full of characters in the Dragon Ball world such as Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Frieza presented in live-action style. It can be seen that AI's product videos are in the style of 1990s American comedies, like Step by Step, Full House and Family Ties, creating a contrasting effect with the animation style of the original series.
The 90s sitcom style Dragon Ball video brings nostalgia and a fresh look.
While modern anime art has its distinct advantages, there's a reason why people still love the style from the 90s, which is why it's still respected today.
This is not the first time Dragon Ball fans have used AI to create new art products. This trend is growing stronger and stronger, AI is becoming a very popular tool for creating new images of anime characters.
Some comments from fans when seeing Dragon Ball's 90s sitcom style:
– Let's be honest, guys. If Dragon Ball were a sitcom, the audience would go crazy every time our guy Yamcha appeared.
– Oh, Raditz as the fun, lovable uncle. And Numbers 17 & 18 look almost perfect.
– Raditz looks like Goku's cool older brother who shows up, drinks milk straight from the carton and generally makes a nuisance of himself for a week on the show before having to leave, but not before teaching them We learn a lesson about the value of family.
– Trunks and Number 18 look exactly like how I imagined their 90s live-action versions would look.
– If DBZ were a sitcom, I feel like Yamcha and Krillin would be fan favorites.
– The best thing is that these characters actually look like the animated version of DBZ.
