I remember a long time ago, I put a timer on my phone for how long it took for Namek to explode. I paused the timer anytime Namek was off screen (like if it showed Earth or King Kai or whatever) and iirc it took over an hour and a half lmao.
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi they cant change what happens in the manga too much, BUUUUUT they also shouldnt have just started the anime so close to the manga either lol
There is an entire italian parody song about the fact that captain tsubasa doesn't make sense. The refrain is more or less "How fucking long is this field? 30 Km, built on a hill"
Back then they had to drag series as much as possible so the manga can make content to adapt, otherwise will go in a very different route like for example the first FMA anime. On the other hand thanks to that dragging we got the godly episode that is Goku getting a driving license.
Honestly some of the filler slice of life stuff was really nice. My favorite has got to be when Goku goes to collect the Dragon Balls and meets up again with Tao. They trick him into doing a puzzle and he spends all day doing it with an evil minion cheering him on.
Just to remind you guys, the tournament of power lasts for 54 episodes of the anime, but canonically, the tournament is only supposed to last 40 minutes.
I love that Marine brought this up recently! I remember watching an episode of dbz during the namek arc was having reruns on cartoon network. My brother and I watched an episode where Goku and Frieza just stared at each other grunting the whole ep. Made us laugh when the narrator started talking to end the ep and we were like literally nothing happened!
Long series are nice, when the story is always moving forwards. See Legend of Galactic Heroes / Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: it has 110 episodes on the main series, plus movies, OVAs and prequel series. There are only 1 or 2 episodes that are "filler" (but still do universe-building.)
@@aaabbbb7396 bruh same here... I couldn't power thru it even tho I was only a few episodes left before Luffy faces off with Don whatshisname... I just lost interest entirely and dropped the anime.
@@_zafkiel_4069 It's not a joke. It's an epic story of war tactics, strategy and politics. It's presented as a dramatized documentary, with a narrator interjecting here and there, to remind viewers of how some characters are related, or to announce some upcoming event, or even just say something ominous like "... but that was actually the last wine bottle they would share." There are many story arcs, they all make progress and have a conclusion. All characters that get screen time, have a purpose, and a "closure." You're not misled by false loose threads, the "main story" ends about 2/3 of the way into the series, but you keep watching to see what happens to this universe after the main story. When the episode title says "the battle of XYZ", that's what you get, a space battle; no 30 min standoffs. The best starting point is the movie, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars." It self-contained, since it was the first animated adaptation. If it leaves you curious, then you can start watching the 110 episodes. After that, there are various prequels mini series and OVAs, that detail events that were referenced in the series, but not shown because they didn't help the story move forward.
Tournament of power, multiple full on conversations/explanations/power ups and tranformations in a 25 minute episode Narrator at the end: _Only 40 seconds have passed since this all began. Who will come out on top next episode with only 8 minutes left!?_ Her brain might just evaporate out of her skull.
The original anime dragged out a lot of scenes due to the fact that it was being aired at the same time as the manga, and there would be times where the anime would catch up to the manga and had nothing to adapt. It’s why the Goku vs Frieza fight was very long. They had to make filler in order to stall for the manga. Dragon Ball Kai, a newer, more polished, and redubbed cut of the original anime has cut off a majority of the filler made in the original anime and is more streamlined. If you are someone who wants to get into DBZ, but don’t want things to drag out, then Kai is your best way to watch the series.
Sometimes you sit in front of a screen until the end of episode and thinks, "Why did I waste 30 min of my life again?" Such is the hell of watching old long shounen series.
Fam they cucked us with so much filler after goku turned super saiyan. Like the most hype moment yet and we have to wait for weeks to watch what happens in the actual fight. Some of the fillers were good tho and entertaining in itself
If you think about it, all battle scenes happen faster in the eyes of those who are not super strong fighters. One of the recurrent things the characters say when they are watching the others fight is how the fighters are so fast they can't keep up with what is going on. So when they get on a stalemate or the characters start talking it would be slower than anything else in comparison.
I feel like her chat is kinda selling dragon ball short here. I hope they didn't turn her off from the series entirely and she's able to experience it in some form or another...
@@prd6617 In comparison despite some of its flaws, I much prefer the format of BNHA adaptation - instead of one continuous series with fillers when it caughts up to the manga, it simply has multiple separate seasons, which just makes the pacing much better.
@@AbystomaMexicanium its most definitely a thing to give it a go, this is like saying you shouldnt watch/read hokuto no ken because its outdated despite being a kick ass good manga to read and an anime being good
42 volumes, but I think the first 16 volumes are the interesting ones, Z are kinda deviate alot, though its still enjoyable, the sense of adventures from the early one is gone. I dont follow Dragon Ball anymore, hope its interesting for the newcomers.

Now she plays Kakarrot, we've come full circle.
i thought this is a new clip after her playing kakarot then she said peko after her sentence. And her laught to! hahaha. old days.
Now she needs to actually watch Kai because she missed out on really good Cell saga moments.
Lmao, I thought it was a new clip, then I realized that is more than 2 years ago.
yeah, Frieza said Planet Namek will blow-up in 5 minutes...... actually 10 episodes
I remember a long time ago, I put a timer on my phone for how long it took for Namek to explode. I paused the timer anytime Namek was off screen (like if it showed Earth or King Kai or whatever) and iirc it took over an hour and a half lmao.

@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi they cant change what happens in the manga too much, BUUUUUT they also shouldnt have just started the anime so close to the manga either lol
I like how DBZ:A lampooned this by making it so that Frieza’s just guessing and doing so badly.
This kind of stuff was frustrating growing up with cable, but these days you can just binge your way through DBZ with no issues.
Chat: let me introduce you to captain tsubasa and infinite fields.
infinite hill fields hahaha
There is an entire italian parody song about the fact that captain tsubasa doesn't make sense.
The refrain is more or less "How fucking long is this field? 30 Km, built on a hill"
Also extensive flashback that took up one episode when taking a shot.
@@thejamesonthestreet mind talking too with long flashbacks in middle of a shoot.
How I envy Pekora. She’s too young to know the horrors of Filler Hell.
Not just the filler, theres much recapitulations,extended power up charges, screams and actualy moments with just nothing beside music on screen.
Back then they had to drag series as much as possible so the manga can make content to adapt, otherwise will go in a very different route like for example the first FMA anime.
On the other hand thanks to that dragging we got the godly episode that is Goku getting a driving license.
yeah, I understand all those "reasons" for dragging a series, after watching Gintoki explaining how anime studios does their work...
Ooooh so that is what happen to dbs huh cuz u know dbs is old anime

Now is in the manga
I remember when I had a flashback inside another flashback
Cof cof ONE PIECE Cof cof
@robinsailo5652 yeah true
They're just standing there... menacingly ゴゴゴゴ
Must be a Stand battle, or their movements are to fast for human's eyes xD
Supreme Kai and Piccolo staring at each other for 20+ minutes was truly peak filler
0:40 I never considered that the planet namek "5 min" thing would be a meme in japan as well, makes sense idk whyinever thought of it

Crazy how this is blowing up now after she played kakarot

I still remember how ridiculously long the fight is
Not fight. But stand off lol
30 min standoff, Are you kidding me?
We are not kidding
my childhood memory is when goku will landing with his space ship and it take forever XD
"We can hear the voices in the minds of the characters" 😂
Come here and sit down little bunny girl.
Let me tell you a SHORT story of 5 minutes.
Goku be screaming for 6 seasons and a movie before he finally transforms
i am so glad i saw dragon ball as a kid now i could never watch the never ending nothing happend
No way, omg I want to watch Dragon Ball with her lol. It's ok Peko we can fastforward the boring parts or just laugh at them together. 😌
It kinda still does this. The tournament of power dragged on for forever.
Just wait till she learns how many 30-minute episodes it took to get through a 5-minute countdown.

I started watching that one with a buddy a while back. It's infinitely better in every way.
Didn’t Kai cut out the driving episode, though?
And if you wanna check the original DB without filler, I recommend Dragon Ball Recut, by milkman
Pekora: I wonder if there are 100 volumes.
Me: Gurl, not even One Piece have 100 volumes
At least it's quicker than Slam Dunk's week long 3-point shot of the glasses dude in Shohoku.

If I'm not mistaken when I was little I've seen a kamehameha scene that took 2 episodes

Oh my god, her grandma laugh is back, 1:04 & 1:16

Nice clip
No no no, 30 minutes of standoff is exaggerated, but the standoffs were indeed long.

3) Naruto

Endless eight
Yes they look each other for 30 minutes😂
Wait, how come she just discovered it 2 years ago?
I sense some heat here
Namek and tournament of power are good examples of bad pacing but we know pekora would love frieza
The Frieza fight is 4 hours long
"this clip will go viral in five minutes"
"But the characters were talking, weren't they?'
Well, if you consider loudly screaming while glowing "talking", then yes.
not entirely true but not wrong either
42 Volumes is short? O.o
They didn’t drag it at all, I enjoyed every filler
I cant believe theres people who never watched it. And in Japan even. And a vtuber
its popular in japan like star wars is in the us, so not everyone gonna know what it is or watched it at all
different in latin america though
Fyi jotaro vs dio only took a few minutes
DBZA needs a Japanese dub.
Most of the jokes wouldn't translate well, though...

lmao no
