Because to get to the second arc, you have to get through the first arc. It's still all part of the same story. You miss out on that part of the story by skipping it. Not everything is about quality or whether you like/dislike something. It can be bad or hated, but you push through anyway, because that's what storytelling is. A journey.
Just because a show is more accessible does not mean that it's unimportant to watch from beginning to end. Of course you don't *have* to see every single episode to follow along, but it's an incomplete experience without it. Despite any expectations, the show was still constructed to be a complete story as they went along, regardless of whether everyone in the audience was caught up or not.MasenkoHA wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 11:17 pm This is gonna blow your mind but Dragon Ball was made at a time when audiences weren’t expected to see literally every single episode. The whole idea of needing to watch a show from the very beginning to the end really didn’t kick off until streaming services started doing their own content. Back then it wasn’t unheard of for people to jump into a show and try to catch up later if possible.
Also disrespectful to the show itself? It’s a cartoon, not a person.
Now that the series actually is available on home video and streaming, there's no longer an excuse.
You can disrespect things that are not people, like cartoons or anything else, by not doing right by them. Aside from that, even though the show is not a person, it is still made by people.
