While I'm fruiously masturbating to the awesome amount of violence in this latest episode, there's still the odd warning bell in the back of my head that shrieks "Dragonball-iiiiiiieeeeeeee-zzzz!!!". Then again, all Shounen besides One Piece lolfanboi is destined to become DBZ at one time or the other.
Here's to hoping it keeps this up for a while anyway!
It's weird because when I saw the latest episode, I actually got an odd feeling of "Marvel Comics", which I can't explain at all considering I don't even read comic books. Then again, I've had that odd dbz warning bell ever since the second half of the SS arc. But considering how they have gotten everything right so far (well, right given a fair amount of leeway), I'm not so worried about that. I mean, they made a filler arc that wasn't complete trash, they keep making wide gaps in power level differences and haven't contradicted themselves yet (a feat dbz failed at from nearly the start). Hell, that second to latest episode proved they could even get FANSERVICE right. (It gave the warning bells of fanservice from like, a MILE away, and it still caught me off guard. I'm actually ashamed I couldn't predict it.)
Although it would suck if they started going "too far" with it before all the important stuff gets resolved (hopefully it will be resolved during this arc).
