I’m roughly 6 episodes into the original Cowboy Bebop, and about halfway though a re-watch of Dragon Ball.

Mister Bondman, please pay this month’s rent. Also, there are noise complaints from the neighbors!

So far these last two episodes have been B-story bonanzas, but I’m still enjoying the spotlight shining on the supporting cast for a change.

• That reporter Franklin was really portrayed as a bit of a slimeball, wasn’t he?
• The Bondman segment just being him acquiring a queue of girlfriends that ultimately being his downfall was decent.
• I liked the little omakes after end credits too, especially Anya’s telepathy giving her a reason to never get in the pool again!

I kinda enjoyed them giving a bit more depth to Damian though; showing that his two friends are really there for him, almost to their own detriment, and that while he is determined to live up to the goals his father set for him, he might actually be willing to mellow out a bit from time to time.

The lake was really nicely drawn too.

A dog!
Draw eyebrows on him!

Yeah, assuming you’re talking about the US one, I have to agree it definitely loses itself towards the end. It just starts bringing in crazy caricatures instead of fully formed relatable characters because the goofier parts of the established cast were received well. Once Catherine Tate shows up, I’m eyeing the exits.

Regarding Bocchi the Rock I have to disagree, all I want is more of that show beamed straight into my eyeballs!

I can’t think of any anime that could be improved with less episodes, because I only continue watching something if I actually like it, and I can’t remember anything I just walked away from. Maybe one of the two versions of Fullmetal Alchemist? That show really didn’t impress me much at the time though, really only watched as much of it as I did because friends were so into it at the time.

Non-anime wise, Dexter, Weeds and Supernatural all should’ve ended wayyy earlier and were kept in life support because of prior successful ratings, off the top of my head.
