Yeah the music and dialogue, voice-acting for this was funnier in the original dub. The "tricks" are still funny though. Vegeta is not amused lol. Such priceless faces.

Hercule's like oh shit hahahaha. Heh, that's the intro for Godzilla movies, isn't it? LOL Hmm, I remember this being funnier on the original.

They all came together. She doesn't know who they are hahahaha. Goku - "Your friend is a girl, right?" Krillin - "You got yourself a good one Gohan!" Videl - "I don't mean this as an insult, but you guys are weird." Whoa, first time we've heard the word gi in dub form! Hercule you idiot.

Which makes me wonder if she can train to get stronger. She's a cyborg, but the powers come from the cybernetics, which are set, sooo... I don't know? I mean we know a full-on machine like 16 would have to be physically upgraded to become stronger.

True. I wouldn't be surprised if Videl is stronger than Krillin, though.

So are the King and the tournament host literally the only people that remember Goku and the other people doing crazy stuff in the past tournaments or all the stuff that happened with King Piccolo? 18 hahahahaha Vegeta's just breaks the machine hahahahaha. One of my favorite parts. So is Piccolo breaking those cameras canon or filler? Hercule is such an idiot. Aww Videl.

Plenty of people, women included, are capable of jet setting and traveling the world, all the while with someone, or meeting people, hooking up with them. She didn't say that, though, did she? She didn't say she didn't want to be with that guy in particular. That would've actually made sense. Instead, the show calls attention to the NO ROMANCE ONLY ADVENTURE thing as transparently, right in front of your face as possible, by having a character literally say it. :

It's not a nonsensical gripe when the show is being hypocritical. I don't see how that's any better. In fact, it sounds even worse. She wants to travel the world but not end up in love? Really? STUPID. As I said, it would've been much simpler if Nami had simply said she wasn't interested in being with him. He's a gross pervert mostly made out of recycled dead animal parts. It's understandable. Instead, we're obnoxiously force fed this whole spiel of putting THE ADVENTURE above falling in love... : Because Oda just couldn't resist.

I just paid attention to the lyrics of the ED this time and wow are they stupid. Backpacks, really?

Hahahahaha Goku is turning into a sitcom character. "Super Saiyan please?"

Goku liked it too.

I thought so, too. "Give your life to save this planet, piggy!"

It's really weird because he has an adult face and voice.

This most important Oolang has been in years. Oh hey Eric Vale-voiced Dave & Buster's commercial! :-D They have to be putting these ads in intentionally...

Well, Pilaf was always a childlike Emperor *rimshot*, and Shu is a dog. Mai is human. And maybe they thought it would be cute.

I'm not saying it's bad that it doesn't have romance. I'm saying it's annoying because the show does all this other stuff to call attention to that fact, like sexualized characters, Sanji's schtick which is wearing thin, and especially, groan-inducing lines like "I'M A PIRATE! I'M INTERESTED IN ADVENTURE, NOT ROMANCE!"

Wow, Bulma actually humbling herself?

Why do we have Head Cha-la recap music but not in the actual show? D: "It's time for you to get destroyed, Beerus!" 8) More entertaining than Goku? I'll take it!

Oh wow I thought he was scratching his chin until just now!

They had their first impression and they blew it, sorry. Plus none of their "memes" their fans parrot are even funny in the first place.

Are those really the standards we're going by?

I have been accused of overthinking and nitpicking before (and I do do that) and maybe it wouldn't have popped into my head if Jman never brought it up, but you're crazy if you think no one else has had this complaint. I mean, there's armadas of obnoxious shippers online. You really think none of them wants their fictions made reality? Well, "reality" in the canon fiction, lol. That and you probably run in circles full of fanboys and fangirls. I would be funny just to see you get trolled if that happened. >

I thought one of the major parts of One Piece were how relatable and realistic the characters are, as people. That's why people get invested and that's why people actually have a reaction when something horrible happens to them. The show is built on relationships, friends, family, mentors, apprentices, etc. This also feeds into the emotional aspect and people feeling close to the characters. Also worth noting that Oda could milk the emotional reaction thing he likes to do to the T by torturing and/or killing off someone's boyfriend or girlfriend, by the way. So, you can say how it's so fantastical all you want, but the people themselves aren't totally alien, otherwise One Piece wouldn't have the appeal that it does. And again, if you don't want to call attention to something you don't want in your story... stop doing things that call attention to something you don't want in your story. Oh yeah, I just thought of something. You keep saying how the Straw Hats are focused on attaining their personal goals, having fun, having adventure (because having a significant other isn't fun at all). They don't have time they are laser-focused blahblahbahblahblah. Well, after the story ends, I'm going to laugh my ass off if they hook up with people, since they could essentially "retire" at that point. Be even funnier if some of them are some random fucks from hundreds of episodes earlier in the story. You know how Oda likes to do that. >

Fairy Tail actually has romance in it, though. You really think you could have people that fit and attractive working together and nobody shacks up? You might as well try to ban wrestlers from getting together. Everyone is on the road together, they get close, and they look good. So it makes sense that happens. I wouldn't see it any different in Fairy Tail. Also, pretty sure I did object to having fan service during serious moments, but I've noted that I haven't gotten to those scenes in context yet. I mean I did complain about some of the awkward fan service in SAO, so... That is true that you're right that people do react to them. And I never said Straw Hats need to pair off together...

Just making the point that it's not so out of the realm of possibility like you want to say it is. Why use jokes that purposefully call attention to the thing you don't want included in your story? If they developed feelings for each other, sure. Isn't the idea that they're family? They probably see each other more as bros or BFFs, so it wouldn't feel right for them to become involved with each other. But they aren't attracted to anyone? No one is attracted to them? I mean you're coming up with lots of excuses and mental gymnastics here, and it could've been just as easily dealt with if the author didn't do contradictory things that called attention the lack of romance, or have one, a short one, maybe, where some Straw Hat has to say "sorry it won't work, I have to continue my journey blahblahblah" and it's stamped out there. Instead, Oda seemingly wants to have his cake and eat it too, just like Kubo ultimately did in the end. Really, humans behaving like humans is jarring?
