It's when it forgets it's supposed to be silly that it gets bad.

Even when it forgets, it's silly in how bad/dumb it gets.

It definitely does get better. This arc is pretty much Super's lowest point

I never saw RoF and only vaguely remember the Super version, but it was only alright instead of great. It's at least not five episodes of a single damned fight. I think?

Beerus is great and i'm glad he didn't end up being some generic "evil comedy relief" kinda one shot villian like i feared it was going to be when i first saw him in the movie.

I actually kinda like the first part of this whole arc, i even liked the differences in the fight with Beerus at first. But then i come back after 2 weeks and they even changed it to be worse than the movie ending? That's just :psyduck:

Beerus basically moves into Bulma's house after a certain point in Super.

no, because then you'd be watching a half-hour of garbage, instead of just 5 minutes of garbage a night

plus, you'd have to sit through multiple scenes of someone eating peas out of a loving can like it's supposed to be engaging or entertaining or some poo poo that the dumbass hack what wrote this trash fire thought it was

I only watched the first episode of Sand Whale and Me, and it seemed like some weird attempt to do bad scifi Tetsuo or something. Did it get worse or something?

I wouldn't say it got worse per se

so much as that every single episode was exactly the same with nothing interesting about it

Sand Whale and Me is basically an important lesson in realizing that even good creators can make bad things and you shouldn't fund all their bad ideas just because they made a big hit.

So I guess the human forces are hunting down sand whales because... they're where green peas come from, and green peas are basically the only food around??

And the protagonist was completely irrelevant.

In fact i would blame the new GITS movie, they were probably pressured into showing this thing because it's by the GITS guy and all.


Sandwhale was made specially for Toonami right? This is nothing that has been available to see before this?

I feel mad that Toonami's money was used on this nonsense. I mean they could've funded so many other things, or secured rights to a more expensive show...

The only good GitS related anything this year is Toonami rerunning SAC.

That's a pretty damning statement, considering current technological and societal trends, I feel.
