Kanzenshuu

Episode 83

General thoughts : I hate Bulma. Seriously. Anyway, as much as I enjoyed the direction, the entire sequence of Gohan's Bakuretsu Ranma seems dragged out, but it's well-executed at least. I also like that Freezer immediately assumes Gohan is Raditz's son, judging from his increasing ...

Episode 81

General thoughts : this episode is truly a disappointment. AT LAST Piccolo gets to fight 53 episodes after his death, but the overall execution is bad. And don't get me started, but the fight is boring and didn't age that well. The filler with Vegeta being a coward is also terribly ...

Episode 80

General thoughts: after a great previous episode, this one is undoubtedly a backward step: first, Vegeta doesn't care if Gohan dies, but then he's almost proud of his Zenkai boost after being healed by Dende. I guess he's always been an inconsistent character. Second, the 1st half is ...

Episode 78

General thoughts : wow, they definitely risked it by adding a King Vegeta flashback and by reusing the destruction of planet Vegeta from the TV special. But, surprisingly, what could've turned out to be frustrating is actually kinda okay. Even though King Vegeta is one of the blandest ...

Episode 76

General thoughts: what's taking Freezer so long to arrive? As expected, this episode is just an appetizer before the main fight, where Piccolo displays a quite clever plan to be resurrected, along with Kami (Popo chasing a butterfly is stupid, just saiyan). Not before Kaio gets mad at ...

Episode 74

General thoughts : this is a vast improvement over last episode. This marks the end of the Ginyu Force arc with a sort of twist, since nobody would've ever expected to see Ginyu swapping his body with a frog. The 1st half is definitely more action-focused than the 2nd, but it's better ...

Episode 73

General thoughts: this episode has so many problems. For instance, there's a connection between what I said about ep. 71 and this episode, which explains why Ginyu is stupid: the Body Change was presumably invented by Ginyu himself, thus WHY doesn't he realize the side effect of his ...

Episode 72

General thoughts: theoretically, I should be happy to see none of Bulma's cutaways... but this episode is quite lackluster. First of all, the first part with Vegeta and Freezer's minions is terribly LONG. It should've been finished within a couple of minutes top. HALF of the entire ...

Episode 71

General thoughts: all right, there's an entire Bulma cutaway, but I don't care. This episode has two plots, the 1st involves the fight between Nail and Freezer, which is one-sided as expected. He even lets Nail hit him to give him a chance, but he's just no match for the space tyrant ...

Episode 70

General thoughts: the episode starts from they left last time, with Goku powering up and scaring both Ginyu and Jeice, the former of whom suffers a mental breakdown, which causes him to throw giant rocks at Goku, to crush a fly and then to start laughing hysterically for some reason ...

Episode 68

General thoughts : there's a Bulma cutaway, but I DON'T CARE. Anyway, the interaction between Vegeta and the others is actually meaningful, as it shows he MIGHT've started a slow change of heart. Some episodes ago, he would've killed Krillin and the others for nearly killing him on ...

Episode 66

General thoughts : at long last, Goku lands on Namek. And apparently he learnt how to read people's minds off-screen. A skill of his which would never brought back again for some reason. Anyway, he gets to the battlefield along with the Senzu Fairy to heal Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta ...

Episode 65

General thoughts: WHY is Chichi hanging up her laundry at Bulma's house?? At this point we don't need her screen time: WE ALREADY KNOW SHE'S OBSESSIVELY CONCERNED ABOUT GOHAN. We don't need our memories to be refreshed. We don't need to be reminded of her flanderization. This detail ...

Episode 64

General thoughts : without a doubt, the Vegeta vs Recoome fight is a lot better than the fight vs Guldo. It's pretty solid, with some neat moves and choreographies. Nonetheless, the real MVP of this episode is Recoome, who likes to give his own name to his attacks (Recoome Kick ...

Episode 63

General thoughts : I thought this episode was so much better, as a result I was pretty much disillusioned with the fight between Gohan and Krillin vs Guldo. First of all, this is the first DBZ fight to feature the infamous leitmotiv of reusing energy waves over and over again, without ...

Episode 62

General thoughts: Guldo's flashback. Nothing seems wrong, if it weren't for Vegeta not having his tail. Considering this flashback should be set before his arrival on Earth, as he's still shown obeying Freezer's orders, this minor detail is kinda confusing. This thing aside, there's ...

When it's not contextualized, it doesn't work. It has to bring up an actual point, otherwise it feels useless.

Episode 61

General thoughts : okay, we left two pointless fillers behind, and now we're back with the main plot. Apart from the ugly fan disservice with Goku, this episode is really solid. First off, I really like how they do build-up the Ginyu Force's arrival, with Freezer smirking and Vegeta ...

Episode 60

General thoughts : just like the previous episode, it's so boring I don't even care. It's just about Bulma dealing with two other annoying and meaningless minions of Freezer's army. Again, there's nothing much to say, apart from how much boredom this filler brings. The Goku cutaway ...

Episode 59

General thoughts : okay, I don't think EVERY filler is bad. I'm quite open-minded to accept non-canon material, as long as it's ENTERTAINING. This episode ISN'T ENTERTAINING. Or better, I quite like Goku's training cutaway and Freezer using his Death Comet all over Namek to express ...
