I'm starting to get a bit angry with this story. They've only got a couple episodes to save it at this point...
This is just vol2 all over again. What a fucking mess this whole ending setpiece is.
Where did the vol3 Isakusan go that surprised me again and again with how I can look back on that story and see all the little bits of intention setting things up for the future while also telling a story in the moment. Subtext I guess I'm trying to say. Foreshadowing. That sort of stuff.
It's as if they just put a rough storyboard into production. This story is just, and then, and then, and then, SUDDENLY, The Fury of Set! wait nevermind that he's going to politely disappear while Goku thinks to himself for a few episodes, wait actually he's back!
This is pure nonsense only being kept interesting by spectacle. Did he even write this spectacle in or are the guys animating the chibi fights singlehandedly carrying this vol on their back. Anyway, their idea or not I hope they got a raise for this. They're the only people impressing me with their work here.
I had some questions I wanted to ask about Dweller's motivation's but I'm finding it really hard to give a shit at this point. Clearly the writer didn't. I honestly feel like I got more out of reading that vague The Moon card horoscope shit than from anything he said himself.
also I swear to god if this leads to some sort of "da real notbook was inside you all along" scene I will officially be an isakusan hater from now on
