...not anymore. Remember DB Super ep. 74 when Goku stated that watching the fighting in the Saiyaman movie bored him?
Because they were staged fights, on a level way below him. He would have about as much fun watching a fight in a movie as he would watching Mr. Satan fight.
He enjoyed the Cell Games reenactment. :lol:

Kai may not be airing tonight, they've been running the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty all night so far.

I'm pretty sure Kai is kicking Toonami off tonight, actually. Don't think we're getting any Super, though.

Just saw the tweet stating this, actually. False alarm!

While I don't want to watch Super (at least, not the subpar BoG retelling stuff), it's things like this that make me hate April Fools, because why ruin a good schedule just for the sake of an unfunny joke (especially when my TV Guide still shows Super as airing)? Of course it's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and unnecessary.

It's like whenever a website completely changes their layout, or even closes up for the sake of a crappy joke all day.

New Rick & Morty makes up for any schedule problems. It's been far too long.

Why not show it when the show usually airs, though?

I was expecting to get out of this April Fools without a single thing annoying me (and yes, I'm saying it's just an annoyance. I'm not blowing it out of proportion and equating it to the end of the world, just in case someone decides to accuse me of doing such). I even enjoyed the Dragon Ball Super one, and especially this one:

Don't know, don't care. New Rick and Morty trumps Dragon Ball Super and can do whatever it wants.

I never really liked nor watched Rick and Morty, so I'd rather we have Super. Well, at least we got Kai. If it took up Kai, then we'd have a problem.

I foe people all the time, even if it's something minor, so even if I do, it's not a big deal. I always end up reading their posts anyway, so I don't know why I bother.

Oh, and no, I didn't actually foe you

Moltar footage is awesome. :mrgreen:

Unfortunately, TFC just had a "Dude! My truck!" moment with the announcer saying something about Spopovich being a "human meat bag", and then saying "that was terrible! Who writes my lines?"

Definitely not funny, and was unnecessary.

The rest of the episode was great though. I loved seeing how serious Goku got when he saw how oddly powerful Spopovitch was.

When Kaioshin revealed himself to Piccolo, I loved Goku's "I'll straighten'em out for ya if you'd like Piccolo!" :mrgreen:

Does Rightstuf still ship stuff like two weeks early with pre-orders? Because if so, Part 1 of Final Chapters should ship next Tuesday, the 11th.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

I'm not exactly sure, because I haven't bought from them in a few years (they don't have the most competitive prices), but I believe some people have said that they've been slipping on that as of late.

Actually, season 3 won't air until the summer. That was essentially a Treehouse of Horror episode, a one-off noncanon April Fools episode meant to tide fans over until then, much like how Sherlock had the special in between Series 3 & 4 to tide fans over another year. Many things were just off on a few levels when it comes to that episode, even though it was still enjoyable.

Anyways, I'm glad I'm watching these episodes again, with an, ultimately, better & all around reliable dub. I remember watching the saga through the original dub on the Dragon Boxes &, even though I enjoyed it a fair amount, It was just held back by the poor scripting & direction of the time. I just feel better with this dub, it's how the series should've been treated 20 years ago.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.
