Titan started off with so much promise, I really thought it was gonna be the next DBZ in America

For every high point it hits it then decides to spin its wheels at the most inappropriate times.

It is a shame it decides to be so middle ground so often.

 

[Htown]

It's dumb and gets good ratings around Midnight...so it's the next Bleach.

that...

fits pretty well, actually

And we're back

I think it's time to realize that anime fans have looooow standards. That's why SAO and AoT have done shockingly well.

In America yes...at least Japan notices some good anime and manga, even though you need to wade through shit shounen manga and moe/ecchi stuff.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

One Piece was never going to be that show.

I doubt any anime will reach DBZ or Pokemon levels of popularity in America anymore.

It could have been if Funimation got the show back in 2004 and not fucking 4Kids

I don't really agree with that since I think the fundamental problem is the artstyle.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

One Piece was never going to be that show.

It had a chance but 4kids screwed it over in America. We've discussed this many times in here.

At least sales show Japan knows One Piece and HxH are quality (a shame the latter is never going to end due to lazy Togashi)

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Last time: the moon ded.

 

[Jarate]

I doubt any anime will reach DBZ or Pokemon levels of popularity in America anymore.

Just wait till moe' takes America by storm

 

[Zonic]

Last time, PICCOLO DESTROYED THE DAMN MOON AND SCREWED UP THE OCEANS.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

this recap sounds hilarious

 

[Mik317]

I like Titan a lot...but it could have been better with a better lead or at least not the whole turning into a Titan subplot.

 

[Raxus]

FYI we just skipped like 9-10 episodes of the original series.

 

[ckohler]

Last time on Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo used his Clothes Beam.

 

[Man God]

Next Dragon Soul is

Spoiler

even worse.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sigh

 

[Grexeno]

My poor ears

 

[daveo42]

Piccolo inadvertently destroys the earth before the Saiyans ever show up by destroying the moon last episode.

At least sales show Japan knows One Piece and HxH are quality (a shame the latter is never going to end due to lazy Togashi)

Same with Hero no Boku Academia.

 

[Seda]

six month timeskip

 

[Gucci Messiah]

terrible opening, christ

 

[BatDan]

So not only can Piccolo create clothes out of nothing, he can create weapons out of nothing.

And somehow this never came up again.

Same with Hero no Boku Academia.

I sense great things from that series.

 

[Shard]

Nope, this song doesn't get any better with repeated listens.

 

[Ultratech]

Last time, PICCOLO DESTROYED THE DAMN MOON AND SCREWED UP THE OCEANS.

Eh, they dealt with it once, they can deal with it again.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

FYI we just skipped like 9-10 episodes of the original series.

We should complain to DeMarco.

 

[GaimeGuy]

No robot filler!
No orphans!
No dinosaur bonding!

 

[Zonic]

Wow, we're already done with Snake Way?! Damn, that was quick.

 

[UltraGunner]

Last time on DBZ: Piccolo destroyed the world after blowing up the moon

 

[Doctor Decimate]

is Gohan good at stuff yet

 

[Raxus]

Last time: the moon ded.

Piccolo then went to teach a middle school classroom 3E on how to assassinate him.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Did we get a timeskip?

 

[Seda]

luffy sounds so happy

 

[Grexeno]

Gohan is now..........

WILDERNESS SURVIVAL KID

 

[BassForever]

I don't remember the coconut hat at all :X

 

[BatDan]

Did we get a timeskip?

Yes we did. Months have passed.
Gohan is now self-sufficient in the wild.

 

[Shard]

DBZ Kai, tastes great, less filler.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Wow, we're already done with Snake Way?! Damn, that was quick.

We sure did have a lot of fun side adventures!

 

[Zonic]

Awesome, looks like Gohan is much more tolerable now & won't whine every 5 seconds!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Remember when Gohan had a fucking sword? What a badass.

 

[Amikami]

Look at the kid go. Shells and all.

 

[Man God]

Deviljho!

 

[daveo42]

Gohan our powerful saiyan protag.

So not only can Piccolo create clothes out of nothing, he can create weapons out of nothing.

And somehow this never came up again.

I sense great things from that series.

He does it again in the Buu arc.

That series has been awesome so far, I just hope it continues to deliver.

 

[Mik317]

One Piece is too silly to be the Next DBZ. DBZs humor was pretty downplayed here in America...which is why BOTG caught some people by surprise when it wasn't just yelling and fighting and more wacky hiijynx.

Its why Dragon Ball did not take off and DBZ did

 

[Crayolan]

is Gohan good at stuff yet

Yes

 

[Ultratech]

And thus, Gohan got gud.

(Or better than he was at least.)

 

[SparksterMeta0]

He got good!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Lol the tail.

 

[BassForever]

Remember when Gohan had a fucking sword? What a badass.

He gets two swords in fact over the course of the entire series

 

[Heroman]

Awesome, looks like Gohan is much more tolerable now & won't whine every 5 seconds!

Wait like 5 min

 

[Raxus]

I sense great things from that series.

They printed 600k of Volume 2 of the series so I think it is doing pretty well for itself thankfully. Look forward to the next chapter.
