[Den-O]

I'm just not a fan of being sucked into something by being told one thing, "hey these new movies? They're cannon with the TV shows and make GT irrelevant! They're the first movies that will be considered cannon with DBZ!" Then immediately after a new series is launched (entirely based upon the popularity and exposure of said movies) these same movies are written out of cannon with new stretched out versions of their stories being the bulk 2/3 of the brand new show that owes it's existence to them in the first goddamn place. It's ridiculous and I think people should be mad about it.

Am I excited for more Dragonball anime? Sure. Always have been always will be. But this is where I have a problem with it. Because Toriyama, the great man god himself is working on this project no one seems to care how willy nilly he's being with continuity. About him just picking and choosing elements to keep or throw out. Nor do they seem to care about getting a rehashed story told in an episodic format that we already saw once in movie form. Only this time the movies don't even count anymore. But their cannonicity is what made them important and relevant in the first damn place. But again because it's Toriyama people seem to turn a blind eye and except the show as is without criticism. And demand that those of us with critiques of the show just get over it.

So no I won't be getting over it or "be happy" about it. I'm rightfully pissed that what was a pretty great rebirth of the franchise has been snuffed out in favor of an elongated and alternate version of the same events. I'd be fine with it if it was simply a retelling, but it's not. It de-canonizes the movies it's based on. So what was the point of them in the first place?

End rant.
