Dude, if you don't like the anime you don't need to attack it to prove your point and you do that a LOT in this thread. Saying that the anime just diluted their presence with "filler" fights against fodder warriors is just blind hate.
1. It is impossible to show what the manga is doing right without going into what the anime did wrong.
2. I don't care about the anime. I don't care about convincing people the anime is bad. I couldn't care less about it if I tried. That being said, the anime absolutely diluted their presence by keeping them in the fight, but offscreen for many episodes. Then when it gave them focus, they immediately got taken out. That's rubbish and lessens the impact of their presence.
In the anime though they still were shameful eliminated
Yes, that's the point.
they had some decent screentime and took enemies with them, what's the problem they were fodders?
If the characters they eliminate are fodder that don't mean anything, why is it such an important detail that the humans have to eliminate them? Why not give those fodder eliminations to a more important character, who has a bigger role to play? Frost eliminated a team of fodder, which in turn played into Frieza's portrayal. That's infinitely better than "And Krillin eliminated this useless character before he got eliminated!"
We expect Tien and Krillin to take opponents out of their league like Hit?
Why do you expect that though? Toyotaro's manga never promised that these characters would be important. In fact, the manga makes it clear that many of these characters on the team are only on the team because they needed to fill up slots. The anime, meanwhile, promised that these characters would all be important in their filler recruitment episodes, and may or may not have delivered on that promise in the actual tournament. Any expectations you have that are not being met by the manga are there because of you.

Now let's see how much I talk about the anime:
No, their fandoms were treated better.
I'll take this ANY DAY of the week over them being in dozens of anime episodes doing absolutely nothing before they get some one-off episode that ends with them getting eliminated anyway. That has no impact on the plot or tension. Them getting taken out swiftly does.
Toei puts effort in all the wrong places.
You trick people into thinking characters are important to preserve drama. I shouldn't be able to look at a design and go "Ha, that person is fodder. Just hurry up and get them off my screen!" It's something the anime should've done since it decided to devote time to all the universes, rather than focusing the scope to just 6, 7 and 11.
Since March 10th, this is all I've said about the anime. I'm not down with all the character assassination you're trying to bring across, instead of actually addressing my points. I don't care about the anime. I care about the manga. I talk about what the manga does right that the anime may have slipped up on. I don't go around calling the anime trash like so many users in this thread do with the manga. I also don't feel the need to quote people telling them that I'm sad that they think the manga is trash.
.I just hope toyotaro keeps improving at the same or even faster rate.
