Because eyecatchers are stupid when there's no commercial break.

Whereas Kuririn summoning Porunga twice = the smarts.

Which happens independently of the eyecatchers.

Which happens because of the commercial break signaled by the eye catchers.

And when there is no commercial break?

You can either a.) have it run back-to-back in a semi-retarded manner or b.) cut footage, shortening the episode and possibly removing an alternate take.

What is your point? The eyecatches were made by the animators, with the episodes tailored around them. Just like many animes (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, etc.). You remove them, you remove the intended flow.

Because you don't want the eyecatches, just like you don't want 4:3 footage or detail or original colors. Now get back in your cage.

Actually, I despise everything American when it comes to DBZ so you have no right saying something like that. I can't help it that this is the only thing we have here in Holland (and it's import, too). -_-

I actually love eye catches. Especially those of DB/Z/GT.

That was a joke, btw. I was making light of the stance that FUNi appears to take.

Finally, someone understands this. I guess the only other acceptable alternative would be to insert a couple of seconds of dead air where the eyecatches would normally go. Then you don't jolt from one shot immediately to the next, (sometimes made worse when the second shot is a repeat of the first one).

I see this done with TV shows on DVD, where we get a black screen between acts, where commercials were originally.

Of course, it's best to just avoid all that and leave the eyecatches in.
