I am now hoping that Norio Wakamoto just shows up incognito and then all of a sudden magic occurs. :allears:

Jaco's great. I bought it on a whim and all of the characters are pretty great, I feel weird about the ending to Jaco's story, but it's in line with everything.

I get the feeling that this episode in particular is sort of a labor of love on Kaiser's part. Just something that he really wants to do despite the fact that nearly all of the material has to be played straight. I mean, what the gently caress are you gonna do? Throw in pinball noises while 17 runs people down with his car?

In so far as they're something about wrestling I would agree.

Other than that they've got some comedic timing to them, some okay gags. Couple misses though, and those usually go on for too long. Much like all of LittleKuriboh's work they're pretty good, some problems but still watchable.

And it saves me from having to actually watch wrestling, though to be honest I haven't done that in years but I do enjoy hearing that it's still dumb and amazing in all the worst ways.

That Adam Rose joke was run into the ground by like the second review and him mispronouncing character names constantly got old after the first one. He's got good comedic timing on some of them, but like they get way too obnoxiously smarky for my tastes.

To be fair, Adam Rose himself is a joke that's been run into the ground so I was kind of okay with it, but I can see that being a problem for some.

Fighting Freeza in that one SNES RPG, and I feel like it somehow imported TFS' Vegeta.
In a life or death situation where everyone but Goku is getting their asses kicked, Vegeta goes "NO I DON'T WANNA" whenever I give him any commands to simulate how much of a dick he is. The mental image is pretty amusing.

So they compressed Z from 291 episodes to 167. How? Did they remove lots of shots of the scenery and characters agape at what has just transpired on screen?

Yes, and also the filler arcs and episodes entirely. They cut out the entire Garlic Jr. arc, that's ten episodes right there.

Pretty much. That and a lot of the gratuitous powering up sequences and "same multi-hit and block combo over and over and over again as characters float around the screen". It still happens, it's just.. shorter.

The Freeza saga in particular gets cut to ribbons because so much of the original was just obvious filler. Piccolo's fight with Freeza while Goku charges the Spirit Bomb was like, quadrupled in length for filler in anime.

I'm fairly certain that all of Captain Ginyu as a frog is filler. I don't think he ever showed up again.

Z had to have filler, because the manga and anime were being produced at the same time, and so, the anime had to be slowed down as to not overtake the manga.
