I think your view of "nowhere" is so limiting. It is a show about fighting. Of course it's going to spend a lot of episodes on big fights. It's a fighting show. They are going to fight. All the plot in the show is ultimately subservient to the end where it's solved with a big fight. So ye...

In Kai, it's 12 episodes. Honestly, I didn't even completely read the first 5 arcs of the manga's Super (or 4, since Fukkatsu no F is something separate), so I considered filler what seemed like filler to me (Scenes with the Pilaf Gang, Goku saying he doesn't know what which is a kiss, etc), I know ...

"Let them. Make 7 episodes all about that. Please, let them go to Namek. At least SOMETHING will happen." YOu guys are exaggerating. Not only do I have a hard time believing you would want an idea that sounds this boring even on paper, you are exaggerating about how long the fights are. Y...

The Yu-gi-oh virtual world filler arc is one of the worst examples I can think of for 2000s shonen anime. Just stopping the main storyline dead to do a half years worth of an anime exclusive storyline before going back to the main story and pretending it never happened. (I think the English dub eve...

I think filler is only bad when it's intrusive. The Yu-gi-oh virtual world filler arc is one of the worst examples I can think of for 2000s shonen anime.

If we kept the numbers in their proper context, it could be fun, but no. Nerds do what nerds do. They turn nerd stuff into math problems.

Dragon Ball is a show that is just not working in a usual 26/52 episode seasons/year. It needs to go continously like Naruto/Boruto or One Piece, the lore, the "epicness" can't be contained into seasons.. There's only a little problem with that: DB Fans hate "filler" (or non-Tor...

I'm also unsure what you are referring to when you say they tried to get Piccolo murdered. At no point during the Piccolo Daimao arc, a single one of these characters thought, "You know what? Who cares about this Piccolo guy? Who cares about the fate of the world? I'mma fight him hand-to-hand ...

The characters aren't acting out of character. them letting Gero go is in character. No. Even excluding Goku and Vegeta, it's not. Tenshinhan, Chaozu and Yamcha all tried to get Piccolo murdered and the arc stopped dead in its tracks with the Dragon Balls. The entire, "I want to test my abilit...

Goku's sudden concern for the danger he attracts was a silly justification to take Goku out of the story and put Gohan in the driver's seat. At best Goku was just talking out his ass as an excuse to stay dead because he was tired of beating opponents in the living world and wanted to see what the n...

Why do they matter to you? Why do you care if the world is put in danger? It's not like the multiverse is actually going to end in the world of the story. We know Piccolo won't actually succeed in killing everyone. We know Vegeta won't succeed in murdering everyone. So why do you care about those s...

Why do the ridiculous stakes bother you? Oh, and the tournament wasn't Goku's idea, either. The ridiculous stakes don't bother me. What bothers me is what they do with them. It feels like getting erased from existence is not a ridiculous enough condition for the writers, as Goku tries to lie about ...

I dunno, all in all I just think it's a little weird to act like stakes shouldn't matter in a story where evil bastards who can destroy entire solar systems with their eyebrow hairs are constantly threatening the lives of the characters we love. If you don't want stakes to matter, go watch Clifford...

I've constantly maintained since 2015 that Super "playing it safe" and sticking itself inside the ten year timeskip between the defeat of Boo and the 28th Budōkai was a huge debilitating crutch. Why care about the stakes when we've known since 1995 that everything will be perfectly peacef...

And even though Torishima (the one responsible for 17 and 18 and then Cell existing) was no longer Toriyama's editor, it still goes against the idea the Cell arc was "bad" because Toriyama had too much creative control. You can either believe the Cell arc was bad because of his editors fe...

I disagree about Battle of Gods in Super. It works well. RoF is awful because the movie is awful. Garlic Jr. arc might have been better as a movie or just shaved off a few episodes. I don't know about you, but I found myself increasingly frustrated with Super's adaptation of BotG and RoF. There wer...

If they adapt Broly-Super Hero into episodes, I would imagine the episode count be: Broly Saga: 18 episodes (BOG saga in Super had a similar episode count) Super Hero Saga: 13 episodes That would be over 78 new episodes to adapt at the moment. Please, no. They tried with Garlic Jr. It turned out te...

I can forgive quite a bit. Like with Star Wars. Clearly there was no big plan. Luke and Leia are revealed to be siblings in the movie after Leia practically sticks her tongue down his throat. And yet, the idea of them being siblings makes a lot of sense narratively. The execution is wonky but the i...

good post To add to this, a key part of this arc and something that greatly differentiates it from the Buu arc is that while a lot of the story developments are triggered by characters making horrible decisions, all of the bad decisions in this arc are driven by established flaws and quirks in ever...
