12 episodes establishing the motivations for the bad guy, 10 episodes of questing for the dragon balls, 5 episodes of just screaming and glowing…
Though the anime that blue balled me the most was Inuyasha. Naraku was such a dick of a bad guy, I just wanted to see him get his comeuppance and they just started doing more and more filler episodes that weren’t connected to the main plot at all.
In the defense of Dragon ball they did eventually make Kai for Z. No gucking clue about super though, I absorbed the non movies through xenoverse since it didnt spike my interest. Except for the Goku black arc.
I watched nearly a thousand episodes of One Piece before finally giving up when they did a 17 episode flashback for a story that could have been told through exposition.
It’s my wife’s all time favorite show, so I really tried. Some of the early arcs were a drag (cough, cough, Arabasta, cough). But from Water 7 through Marineford it just got better and better, and I really enjoyed it. Even after the time skip Dressrosa and Whole Cake were for the most part engaging. But man, Wano was such a slog. By the time they finished the flashback, I just didn’t give a shit about that island anymore. I’m tempted to just skip to Egghead, or give One Pace a shot.
Anime: “how long for what now?”
Anime:
Anyone else remember that one season of bleach where 15 minutes of every episode was a recap of the entire series up to that point for padding?
Slightly better than another horrible filler arc.

Frankly if the Oden flashback isn’t for you then one piece might not be for you

Did you mean: 40 second elevator scene?
Did you mean: slow pan across still frame?
Did you mean: three-frame loop for internal dialog?
