How come some people don't like the design of Saiyan God?

He looks completely different from anything that came before.

1. His eyes are drawn completely differently.
2. His eyes changed in color.
3. His hair resembles his Base form, but it looks different.
4. His aura has changed.
5. His Chi has changed.
6. He looks younger and his body has become more lean.

It's not that he looks different which I don't like, it's that he literally looks like he's an anorexic fuck scraping by with half a meal a day. That isn't Goku.

The common trend that Akira Toriyama always followed was to make the weaker looking fighters actually be the stronger fighters. Toei is partly responsible for fucking that up. They introduced Super Bojack and that nimrod Broly.

Goku looked pretty jacked in the manga.

That is just Akira Toriyama's style:

He has a very strange air of divinity, or rather… he’s quite the individual. He’s both cute and scary.
He’s a bit eerie, and at first glance, he doesn’t seem strong at all, so I like him quite a bit. He even makes cute cat-like gestures. In my works, “guys who seem like they ought to be strong are actually weak.” ……Like Nappa. (laughs)

It remind me of Kaioken (the color resemble). It look like only his body have change, but not in a good way. My opinion of course.
