^^ Wait, as awful as that was you're saying the actual story that comes after it is even worse?

Okay, asking the thread in general. Is the later filler better than that was shaping up to be?

Fun is subjective. Tbh, I don't care for it and I've skipped a lot if them just because if how pointless some were.

[up]not really no.

[up][up]There are two that are genuinely outstanding in my opinion and the first one after the U6 arc is not one of them. The rest are just okay.

The pan episode is decent at least, but only for like half of it

Admitably while I did get a good laugh out of watching the first filler ep tonight I didn't like how Goku was portrayed as an absolute moron.

He's a fucking retard at this point.

I’m actually watching quite a few of these for the first time in the dub. I skipped them when most of them when they originally broadcasted because Super is such a hot and cold series.

The dub makes some scenes worth it just for how much fun Sean is having as Goku.

Some of it is!

Much of it is worse. Or about the same, now that I remember the copy Vegeta arc was preeeeeeeetty bad.

The Pan episode, Hit mini-arc, Yamcha's baseball episode, the Dr. Slump crossover, Vegeta going to the park with his family, Goku helping Satan save face with the aliens, and Vegeta convincing Whis to train him are probably the best of the filler episodes. Pretty much all of them are really good, though.

C'mon....all of Super's filler is good in your eyes?

All of it?

Um, setting aside PMC for the moment since I don't feel like I can take his opinion at face value, what filler would the rest of you say is good? I usually don't care much for filler but I can give at least the better episodes a try.

Vegeta embarrassing himself to be Whis' student was hilarious.

The episode where after the Battle of Gods where Herc takes credit for beating Beerus was funny too.

Those are the ones I can remember at the moment.

The one where Goku and Piccolo look after Pan, the Yamcha baseball one, and depending on your opinion of Dr. Slump, the crossover with that.

Uh, I'm not sure I'd call it good, but I can say what I think the best filler was.

The first two episodes, ignoring the Beerus stuff (which is worse than the movie). In hindsight, maybe not the second episode but the first is cute (ignore the snake).

Then the filler between BOG and RF arcs (15 - 18) for actually getting to see some of Goku and Vegeta's training, and one legitimately funny joke with Old Kaioshin.

I somewhat enjoyed the Great Saiyaman two-parter (73 - 74) for the focus on Gohan, and Videl getting a brief moment of cool. I don't think you'd like it because you don't like Gohan as much as me and it's not very good outside of that. Still better than the filler i haven't mentioned.

The recruitment episodes are basically filler but tied to the plot of the current arc. I liked Gohan's two episodes (88 and 90) but again, I like Gohan. They're still better than the other recruitment episodes without that, but I don't know if you'd call them good.

The main thing to draw from this, most of the filler isn't good for anything unless you're looking for fanservice for a particular character.

[up] Thats it really, its all just fanservice.

So start by which asking character do you like?

I never read Dr. Slump and I'm completely uninterested in Yamcha as a character, but I can give Piccolo and Goku taking care of Pan a try. When is that one? Roughly speaking. And maybe some of the filler that's particularly bad so I can have an even more informed opinion when I call Roshi a sexual predator or whatever.

It's right after the Monaka one.

Also even if you don't care about Yamcha, I still recommend the baseball episode because it's not just about him. It's U7 vs. U6 in baseball format and a bunch of characters get funny moments.

[up][up] 43. It also involves Goku having a ki disorder from using Blue Kaio-ken.

Its the DB cast playing a Goddamn baseball match.

Like every sports episode it is rife with comedy.
