Toei does not like Vegeta part #12849, this is their Vegebul moment.

vs Toriyama's Vegebul moment:

I will continue complaining under the cut (with additional samples)

toei's vegebul moment:

Toriyama's Vegebul moment:

toei's:

toriyama's:

ykwim??

I'm don't even want to talk about how bad they fucked up the Goku Black arc from what I can tell so far so just have this instead

LIKE THEY EVEN CHANGED WHERE VEGETA WAS SITTING??

WHY?

FOR WHO??

ANYWAY it's fine if you like the anime I'm just gently loudly suggesting reading the manga if you're a fan of Vegeta and Bulma separately and/or together

Look I love the OP anime, like it has Issues Galore and yet despite that it's an absolute treasure with so much artistic value and beauty to it, there's just as much good to the anime as there is bad and I unironically love it so, so very much

But it never fails to crack me up how much Toei just hated Crocodile's guts and went out of their way to disrespect the man at every turn during Impel Down/Marineford

Like look at this panel of Crocodile clashing against Mihawk to defend Luffy

The power, the sheer force of the impact, I can HEAR the way metal meets metal in this panel (and not because of the sound effect that's blocking half the bloody art). The way Crocodile jumps in out of nowhere to completely dominate the shot to everyone's (Luffy, Mihawk and us the readers) surprise and asserting his dominance, hiding Luffy from Mihawk's sight entirely and showing that he is force to be reckoned with. The movement in the art, the dynamic composition and posing, the dimension and depth, it's SUCH a good action panel, it's so fucking good

And the anime is just

Toei did my man so dirty

Me, going into episode 7: even if it works, taking advice from Pun just seems like a bad idea.

Q is actually so strong for not having chomped Toey yet out of pure cute aggression

LINE READING SO DEVASTATING I NEED TO DIE ABOUT IT

How was the breakup animated? I havent watched it buy i would love to see ur opinion 😬

............... Okay SOOOO finally a post explaining my thoughts about the breakup scene and like, the whole episode in general (which everyone knows is my favorite chapter ever in the manga).

I liked it, but it wasn't perfect. The pacing was a bit too quick and not as emotional as the manga, somehow. I don't get why they gave Sabo's scene way more attention when they've been adapting half a chapter per episode for a long time now. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Sabo (I can't shut up about him, as you can see) but I believe Buggy's speech deserved wayyyyy more attention and dramatic value than what has been shown. In fact, I think they used too much comedy for literal no reason when the manga made me cry while reading.

I don't even think they have to erase Sabo's part, I just think they could've saved the unnecessary comedic gags and used those spaces for more dramatic pauses. The whole thing in terms of animation is gorgeous, but the way they speak and the delivery lacks a bit of emotion. And I don't even think it's because of the VAs (they did an amazing job) but because of the whole quick pacing due to lack of time. I know in the manga it isn't too long either, and I am even surprised we got so much out of four little panels, but if you're going to give them this much attention at least do it properly.

Overall, I think the episode was good but it doesn't match the same level of emotion as the manga chapter. Either way, I think the directing (in terms of like, visually and symbology etc etc) is pretty damn well done. I believe my only issue is the paing, but that probably must be because now episodes are like 17 minutes long after the opening and the summary and the little sketch and ending.

Not to be a hater but if you're gonna ignore a whole chapter to make Garp's punch last 2 whole minutes straight, you can leave Sabo's appearance for the next episode or use the time properly instead of making so many jokes that aren't even highlighted in the manga.

To be honest, I prefer the manga because Oda manages to show all the right emotions and give me shivers, but the anime did pretty well when it comes to the animation and imagery even if the pacing is uhhhhhh quick and boring and dull. I don't want to sound like a hater because the whole thing is pretty short in the manga too, but even if it is short, I think the emotions stand out way more there than they do in the anime.

I feel like if Q was a YouTuber he'd have anti-Bob Ross energy. Like he still says everything in a calm manner, but it is so not Bob Ross you know?
