>>93930730Ehhh.. I liked the Buu saga. It's what really put a nail in the coffin to a ton of my friends who enjoyed DBZ that they wanted more and more. Including me. I was pretty devastated when I found out the series was ending. Heh, I remember trying the fusion dance with my brother.
I thought the monkey paw was coming into affect when GT came out, I enjoyed it for what it was; but it just didn't have the same feel as DBZ. It felt like it was being made by the fans, or just someone who didn't really have a grasp on what made DBZ; DBZ.
Then the movies came out 10 years later; and I seriously don't regret waiting this long for it to come out, or wishing for it to continue. Yeah, the power scaling is crazy; but there was really no other way for it to continue without stretching out the story Universally. Goku and friends going against another bad guy that wants to take over/destroy earth would just be... ehhhhh.. At least Beerus seemed just seemed to be another one of those; then they introduced Universes.
It's pretty great so far, but I agree as far as the Universal Tournament being pretty lackluster. People were saying how they're saving up funding and time for the tournament, and we get a whole episode that was supposed to introduce the start of the tournament; only to get shoved with 60% reused animations, and the rest was just cushioning fluff and staring. So far, the tourney has been quite a letdown; even if they're just waiting to eliminate more people so that they can focus on animating everything else a lot better,I still feel like it's just an excuse for having shit animators boarding the episode.
I mean look at this shit. This was just a wonderful scene. I just wish they did more of this in the tourney,instead of just offscreen knocking people off the ring as an excuse not to animate anything; and reused animations,along with a couple of 'eh' scenes. I want to feel like 'HOLY SHIT THIS TOURNEY IS AMAZING JESUS CHRIST' like how the intro projects.
