Don't forget having the first 5-7 minutes recap the previous episode + intro, while the last 5-7 minutes preview the next + credits. Of a 22 minute episode.
The goku spirit bomb during the Frieza arc was basically its own season
Two episodes of footage stretched into what, seventeen?
Dragon ball z was one of the few series where the initial investment was worth it but trying to go back is a painstaking labor of love
Yeah no, I'm too old to pick that show up. It just doesn't respect your time.
Yeah but it was one of the best shows to be watching while it was airing, because you could miss an episode (because you were a kid playing outside with your friends) and tomorrow when you catch it you are still fine.
Its the antithesis of the "bomb" format people love so much these days, but its probably one of the best for airing on TV.
It was fucking awesome.
I had a bunch of friends in college that would all watch it together and "Gohan, get off the planet. I'm about to fight this dude." followed by several episodes of powering up was the pinnacle of our watching sessions.
I recall watching DBZ very early in the morning as a kid and being annoyed half the episode was intro, recap, preview outro, then almost nothing happened during the few minutes remaining.
The books themselves were fun enough.
What got me was the whole "take turns fighting the enemy one at a time" bullshit. Like, come on, there's a half dozen of you, and only one of him, gang up on him and kick his ass already!
Tournament of Power parodies this, Android 17 blasts some of the other competitors who are mid Sailor Moon transformation only for both Goku and the second top fighter from a third group scold him and tell him to let it happen.
That's why 17 won the Tournament of Power and Goku didn't. He didn't read the assignment.
No. One at the time.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
