Kai is probably your best bet if you're hopping in blind. I watched most of the original DB and DBZ, and while I did enjoy them a lot when I was younger, they ABSOLUTELY are glacial at times. one of the studio animators remarked on how during the Freiza Saga they had caught up to the manga in the middle of it, and managed to stretch three PANELS into an entire episode. granted, they worked it out pretty well all things considered(turning a brief few panels of characters checking in on each other during an evacuation into a full blown episode of it iirc) but there is absolutely a ton of powering up and reaction shots to pad things out.

but it is still a solid story imo. Vegeta is one of my favorite characters ever, his character arc is fantastic. and like, it's totally fine with being absolutely ridiculous and fun. like the Ginyu Force is a bunch of flamboyant space clowns who have a choreographed pose for the team figured out, but they're also actual threats.

also, like, Dragon Ball itself is such an iconic, it's probably worth reading entirely for its cultural impact itself. Like, Dragon Ball as a series is insanely influential.

Yeah Team Four Star have done rewatches of their stuff and admitted they don't stand by their previous output. That's fine, honestly - I've got posts on SA I'm not proud of, even if they got laughs at the time.

Even some of early Hellsing Abridged is very rough, and you can treat it as a vertical core sample of how their work's evolved over time because it was an annual Halloween special.

Dragonball Z Kai is great and you don't need to worry about missing the authentic experience because there are still several episodes where nothing happens.

If I'm not mistaken that was one of the filler episodes that was taken directly from the manga and so it made it into Kai.

Humans do not like animal companions dying, period. You cannot prevent us from pack-bonding, it's impossible.

Even when they were using literal canaries in literal coal mines, the miners would use a special device to prevent the bird from dying after it fainted from carbon monoxide.

The article in the URL posted:

My impression from hearing about canaries in coal mines was that they were expected to die to warn people, so when I came across this object it was a huge relief (though my research on the topic has found less thoughtful cages).

I also spent a long time thinking the miners just let their canaries die on the regular and I think it was just last year I learned otherwise, that they bring the bird topside and start trying to resuscitate it. However I now realize I learned this fact and immediately put it in mental storage in a way where I have sort of vaguely half-pictured this canary resuscitation not as a tiny oxygen cage (obviously correct) but as human-to-bird CPR, with a huge grimy coal miner (probably wearing a headlamp still) providing minute mouth-to-beak breaths and the tiniest most careful chest compressions, pausing to check for canary consciousness every two to four seconds, the whole 9 yards. This mental image does not hold up to even an instant of scrutiny and I am both baffled by my ability to form it and yet also not surprised at all that I did

Clearly they'd use a bike pump. :colbert:


(I also assumed they just let the canaries die on the regular until now. It's interesting and wonderful to see how much they cared for them and tried to save them though. :allears:.)

Canaries weren't that cheap back then. Maybe rich miners could afford single-use canaries, but regular folks had to master mouth to beak to stay in the black.

it is a quote from the dungeon meshi thread. So unless you're currently reading/watching it, you're good.

...dungeon meshi is exceptionally good and everyone should try it(D&D adventurer party goes dungeon diving and is too poor to afford supplies so they learn to cook the monsters they encounter instead)

Worth mentioning that the English localized name is Delicious in Dungeon. As in, the published manga doesn't say Dungeon Meshi on the cover, that's just what weebs call it.

My favorite Dragonball z memory is wandering through the toy dept at Walmart in the late 90s/early 00s and seeing a tiny figure of Goku and laughing at the fact it was called Dragonballz because there was little to no space on the title. This was way before I started watching the series or knew it existed.
