Piccolo... this is a catastrophically bad idea.

You're demonstrating the kind of keen strategic mind that Amanda Waller demonstrated in Film.Suicide Squad.

[up][up][up][up]Aw. That was whole breakdown was the best part of Super Buu. It's a double shame because it's the same VA.

[up] Yeah he sounds more like a generic arrogant kung-fu guy instead of a monster undergoing a mental breakdown now.

I don't think he even said the line anymore.

He sounds really gruff & deep here. Weird vocal evolution.

[up][up] The Funi VAs who worked on both the original dub and Kai may claim that the latter is much closer to the original Japanese, and while that is true, it doesn't change the fact that, nostalgia or no, a lot of lines and exchanges were better the first go-round.

I like the line "my mind's changed. It's thinking differently now."

The continuity between the Buus' minds is creepy.

I have a message from another time...

There's a reason why woolseyism is a thing.

Sometimes not sticking to the original Japanese translation is good.

[up] Huh that is a good line.

@ slim: Or at least not sticking to it so rigidly. There's a fine balance between staying true to the source material and taking liberties with it when necessary. Heck, Super does it all those added digs from Vegeta about Yamcha, so it's not like Funimation suddenly lost their mojo or anything.

Also, Woolseyism. tongue

[up][up] Studio Pierrot that's how.

Same fucker who make Naruto.

Also I hate the obsession Asta has with marrying the nun. A hundred chapters in & he's still stuck on that idea.

[up] Yea this entire flashback is filler.

Asta gets what's essentially the power of the Devil... and we immediately go straight to Filler Hell.

That is infuriatingly brilliant.

This is very bad storytelling.

You can't just put this kind of flashback in the middle of the climax.

Your literally destroying all tension & pace.

So is the entire episode a flashback or do we go back to the present after the commercial break?

Bland and generic storytelling I can take, but honest to God the second fucking episode is goddamn filler-bad storytelling? No, now I'm nettled. I have already reached Akame ga Kill level disappointment.

Wait until the third episode to start shoving in shit about their childhood not the second.

At least shit was happening by now in AGK.

Also, why couldn't we start in flashback territory if we had to go there?
