Do you sit through the filler?
Moderators: General Help, Kanzenshuu Staff
Why wouldn't I sit through it, it was entertaining and I'm not an over-analytical, hardcore fan. Though saying that, a real fan would surely be able to appreciate all aspects of the Dragonball Universe filler or not.
I can think of filler episodes I would much prefer to watch over non-filler episodes any day.

I don't really have a problem with filler that's separate from the canon, like the Garlic Jr. saga. It doesn't bother the flow of what actually happens; it's self-contained, as filler should be.
Then there's another filler, which some of you either seem to be neglecting, or actually saying you like it. Taking canon moments from the manga and inserting new material. Minutes upon minutes of nothing happening. Nothing. Maybe some words shared between two people, but besides that, it's a bunch of bullshit that's supposed to "build tension."
This can be rectified with things that actually progress, like the Saiyan saga attempted to do, but gave us "Gohan's Big Snoozefest."

Agreed, I much prefer the fillers like Garlic Jr to the 'filler' extensions of the manga.B wrote:I don't really have a problem with filler that's separate from the canon, like the Garlic Jr. saga. It doesn't bother the flow of what actually happens; it's self-contained, as filler should be.

I know, I know. Out-of-context. I was just kidding!
Just kidding, Dragonball Evolution is in it's own universe really.
It's like Dragonball was based on Journey of the West but isn't the same and certainly isn't in the same universe; equally Evolution is based on Dragonball.

If that were the case, I wish they would'a just called it "Guy With a Stick Looks for Balls" or something instead.Sin wrote:FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-Kendamu wrote:Including Dragonball Evolution?Sin wrote:...a real fan would surely be able to appreciate all aspects of the Dragonball Universe...

Yeah, but you know what I'm getting at. A lot of people don't consider Dragonball Evolution to "really" be Dragonball because of how much it deviates from the original tone and setting of Dragonball.Innagadadavida wrote:You could call Dragon Ball that too.Kendamu wrote:If that were the case, I wish they would'a just called it "Guy With a Stick Looks for Balls" or something instead.
