Once you get over three seasons it rarely goes well, then you get those strange story arcs and then the fillers start to come into play.(September 23, 2016 at 8:08 pm)ApeNotKillApe Wrote: DBZ was clearly supposed end with the Frieza saga. I don't care if there's no evidence to support that and I don't care if mangas carried on after Frieza; my 10 year old self knew this shit, it was the natural conclusion to the story.
But no, that battle on Namek between what we're lead to believe are the two most powerful fighters in the universe, where lead characters die and the two of them fight for like 20 episodes and blow up the entire fucking planet? Turns out they were total pussies. And with each new season they become even bigger pussies by comparison to whichever 'most powerful asshole in the universe' they're fighting that week.
"Oh, Goku turned Super Saiyan? Big fucking deal, we got like two six-year-olds here who can do the same thing."
I watched Sword Art Online with some interest, up until all the fairies showed up.
Yeah, it got really bad with the Buu Saga. In fact, as bad as it is, it could've been a little better had Toriyama just stuck to his original plan and have Gohan be the one beating Buu rather than listening to the fans and having Goku beat him instead.
I do hope that the practice of turning anime's into live actions films does come to a stop, it's just a terrible idea.
