It looks too neat and clean. The old style felt like it had more personality imo. Here's all the Dragon Ball Z movies with both the old and new artstyles so you can compare:

Agreed. There was a lot more style and nuance in the original art. New stuff looks like fan art

The ones on the left, Akira Toriyama did. The ones on the right are shitty recolors that @Scotty_Rogers did.

dragonball super and new stuff is complete garbage and an insult to the art style used in the past. You would think they would respect the level of artwork and dedication but no.

I actually miss the original Dragon Ball style, when Toriyama's art was a little more focused on technical details rather than character lines and the world itself was much more whimsical. It felt inspired, especially by the time he got to Dragon Ball Z and the world the characters lived in mattered less and less.

There was a significant shift in art style during the Tournament of Power arc, where things were starting to get back to the old DBZ art style, w/ the slanted eyes, detailed ears/nose, and big flowy SSJ hair (compared to the lego block hair we usually get):

<img src="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/3/AANRQlAACro5.jpg">

However the Broly movie is probably the biggest change back toward the old art style. Naohiro Shintani took over for the Broly movie, and his character designs were way closer to the classic models that we were used to. Probably the biggest reason why that movie looks so amazing.

Stuff got weird starting around the Cell Saga. The focus was on sharper drawings and bigger muscles.

Rule of thumb the deeper into the storyline the show went, the more PEC CLEAVAGE was on display. And Piccolo wanted to get in on that action as well.

That's the problem with like 95% of modern animation in general. It's all to clean and sterile looking.

Always liked the original DB art.

I hate how the new ones also remove characters from them.
