>>27985876OP is arguing that difference BECAUSE of the art style shift. He outright mentions the art style shift.
Art does not work the same way realism works.
Kimba and Simba are both lions, and yet when you put them together side by side in their different art styles they look awkward together.
And I disagree with some in OPs post, but others are valid. He's also not making any direct comparisons like some seem to thing, just general examples.
Kingler and Crabrawler for example have two entirely different styles to them. They don't look right next to one another. It's a contrast that doesn't exist when you compare Kingler and Corphish. It's an art thing. You can post animals til your blue in the face but art and the real world run by separate rules.
