guess im one of few but i like franky's new design. At first i didnt because his arms just didnt do it or make full sense to me but over time ive grown to like his design.
I loved choppers design pre timeskip… speaking of his rumble ball forms. i didnt like 2/3 of his "regular" forms. his human form to me wasnt human at all, humanoid yes but not human, especially when you look at other zoans and their transformation they actually look like the animal. Also, i disliked his hybrid form, like seriously? he's the ONLY person who's base form is hybrid but meh, i deal with it b/c its not big but still a bother if i think about it.
BUUUUUT, his rumble ball forms, guard point is very bland but the application was great, jumping point was great too, little uses but the look of it was just appeasing to the eye, horn point, just great too. the Big front legs and overgrown horns just looked Right. arm point was cool too.
After the timeskip, i hate the design choice for kung fu point, hate it. Maybe i'm ignorant, but i cant recall a kung fu artist chubby with trex arms. horn point looks cool but doesnt make sense to me, the tips of his horn is rounded yet he's a digger and he looks more childish compared to his previous horn point. Human form i love it, looks more human (because of the childish features) but his body is of a body building, so im ok with it. guard point is pretty much the same, just bigger. wish there was more to it but we'll see. and his monster form is the same. i like this form but curious as to what it grants him apart from strength and stamina and how much different it is from human form (apart from looks) in the power/uses department.
all in all, chopper to me has disappointed me and made me happy, its weird but i guess the hate for kung fu point might outweigh everything else and make me dislike his new forms compared to the old (besides a few).
everyone else is ok to me, definite art charges over the years but i guess im ok with both. Sometimes i do feel he draws them too cartoony at times but i read one piece mainly for the story and not the art (its not bad, just not my biggest love of the series).
sn: sorry for the chopper rant, guess i had that built up since the timeskip.
