Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Fans Split Over the Cut Bingo Dance Scene
超ビルス3話のビンゴ全カットに海外ファン「むしろ公式GJ」

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus skipped the movie's famous "Bingo Dance" scene when it adapted the arc for episode 3, and a Japanese reaction-compilation channel built a video around one viewer mourning the cut. The 113-comment thread underneath mostly turned on the complaint instead of agreeing with it.
The top comment (221 likes) just thanks the show for restoring Vegeta's dignity, and a chunk of the replies point out Bingo was a one-off invention for the film, not something the TV continuity ever owed anyone. Others argue the scene mattered more than that -- it's the beat that convinces Goku his rival is finally ready to become a God.
The real punchline is that the complaint looks like a mix-up between two different Dragon Ball dance scenes from two different shows.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is remaking the Battle of Gods movie one weekly episode at a time, and episode 3 quietly skipped one of the film's most memorable gags: the scene where Vegeta throws away every scrap of pride and performs a ridiculous "Bingo Dance" to win back Whis's goodwill. A Japanese reaction-compilation channel posted a clip about someone online mourning the missing scene, and the 113-comment thread underneath mostly turned on the complaint instead of agreeing with it.
I'm actually in the "glad it's cut" camp too. Thank you for giving Vegeta his dignity back, official staff.
俺もどちらかと言うと全カットは肯定派 かっこいいベジータの威厳を取り戻してくれてありがとう…公式様。
The single most-liked reply doesn't even bother arguing whether the dance was funny -- it's just relief that it's gone. A chunk of the thread backed that up with context: Bingo wasn't something the original TV continuity ever had, it was written into the film for its own reasons, so a straight anime remake of the arc owes it nothing.
That Bingo scene only exists because of how things were when the movie came out, which is why it was made lighter in tone -- there's no real reason the anime needs to include it either.
そもそもあのビンゴは映画当時の状況的に明るくすることに変更して出来たシーンであるから別にアニメで出すこともないからな。
The movie came out right after the Tohoku earthquake, and from what the director and crew have said, that's apparently why they aimed for a lighter, more entertaining tone and kept the Beerus fight from wrecking the city too much -- they wanted to give people back a reason to smile.
映画上映時は東日本大震災の直後だったから、監督の細田雅弘氏や関係者の証言によると、「笑顔を取り戻して欲しい」から明るいトーンとエンターテイメント性のある描写、ビルスとの戦いであまり街を破壊しないようにと配慮がなされているようです
Not everyone was ready to let it go, though. Several commenters argued the dance mattered beyond being a joke -- it's the moment Vegeta's willingness to humiliate himself for his family and his planet is what convinces Goku his rival is finally ready to become a God, and quietly cutting it removes a real character beat, not just a gag.
I don't actually dislike that Bingo scene -- you get a real glimpse of Vegeta's values shifting, becoming someone who can drop his pride for the sake of the planet.
別にあのビンゴのシーン嫌いじゃないんだよな 地球のためにプライドを捨てられるようになったっていうベジータの価値観の変化が垣間見えて。
I like Bingo. I don't like the Takoyaki one. Bingo is also an important moment -- it's what makes Goku decide to become a God after watching Vegeta throw away his pride to protect the planet.
ビンゴは好き。たこ焼きは好きじゃない。 ビンゴは悟空がプライドを捨てて地球を守ろうとするベジータを見てゴッドになることを決心するっていう重要な位置でもあるし。
Personally I love Bingo. Though I get where the "it hurts Vegeta's image" argument is coming from too.
個人的にビンゴは大好きです。ベジータの格がと言う意見もわからなくはない。
The thread's real punchline is that this might not even be a matter of taste -- it looks like a mix-up. Bingo only ever existed in the movie; the pre-remake TV anime never had it at all. Commenters started piecing together that the person complaining in the video had likely confused it with Takoyaki, a completely different "drop your pride and dance" scene from a separate continuity -- and a few admitted they'd made the exact same mix-up until someone corrected them in the replies.
Man, some people just don't get the nuance -- Bingo was the movie, Takoyaki was Super, so the point is the new version is missing "that kind of scene" entirely... wait, turns out it was just the poster's own mix-up.
日本語のニュアンス通じない奴らだよな 映画ではビンゴ、超ではたこ焼き 新作では「その系列」が無かったって話だろ …と思ったら普通に投稿者の間違いかよ
Seriously, there are a lot of newcomers in here -- Bingo is from the movie. The pre-remake TV anime never had it to begin with.
ホンマにわか多いよな ビンゴは劇場版や リメイク前のアニメ版はそもそも 無い
I had it mixed up too, honestly.
俺も勘違いしてました
What the thread actually wanted from the person in the video, more than a verdict on the dance itself, was just an admission that they'd gotten their Dragon Ball trivia crossed, rather than quietly holding the position anyway.
Just a "sorry, my bad!" would clear this whole thing up nicely.
「すまん、勘違いやった!」これだけでとてもスッキリする
Henchman: "Sir! Bingo has been removed from Beerus!" Vegeta: "WHAT!? Then I'm off to go dance Bingo myself, right now! Follow me!"
ならず者「申し上げますッ! ビルスでビンゴがなくなりましたァ!」 ベジータ「ダニィ!?早速ビンゴ☆を 踊りに出かける!後に続け!」
Nobody in the thread ever got that apology. Instead, the show's own canon villain turned the missing dance into a bit, which is arguably a better ending than a scene nobody could even agree existed in the first place.

Isn't it normal to notice the colors look off, though? "If you don't like it, don't watch it" doesn't really make sense as a response.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Remake Redraws Vegeta's Fight, and Fans Are Split
A side-by-side comparison video of Vegeta's awakened fight against Beerus -- the original broadcast footage against Dragon Ball Super's 2026 Beerus arc remake -- has Japanese fans arguing over how strong this version of Vegeta actually is. The clip's 142-comment section topped out with a 233-like comment arguing that if Vegeta fought Beerus better this time than Goku once did, it means this form now surpasses Goku's own Super Saiyan 3. From there the thread split into a power-level debate (several pointed to a new purple-tinted aura as foreshadowing for something bigger) and a style debate over the redesign itself, with some fans missing a beloved animation quirk from the original that didn't make the remake's cut. Both camps agreed on one thing by the end, even if neither side would admit it directly.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Airs a Finale Ending Video, and Fans Get Emotional
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War's official channel posted a four-minute "finale special ending movie" this week, a standalone send-off clip built from the series' iconic imagery and set to the classic theme "Number One" rather than a brand-new song. The video has pulled in over 30,000 likes and more than 1,500 comments, most from longtime Japanese fans treating it as the real goodbye now that the TV run is over. Across the thread, the moments getting picked apart frame by frame are small ones: a credit that quietly lists Orihime under her married name, a tribute to voice actors who passed away during the show's long run, and a debate over whether the classic fan-favorite song "D-tecnoLife" (nicknamed "Asterisk") should have closed things out instead. The top comment isn't about any of that plot trivia at all -- it's from someone who says watching Ichigo as a kid is the reason they became a manga artist.

The Apothecary Diaries: New Mini-Anime Has Maomao Trying to Monetize Jinshi
The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 put out a new "Maomao's Monologue" mini-anime short this week, and Maomao's latest scheme has her trying to charge admission to watch her personally feed Jinshi -- the emperor's brother, living under a disguised identity -- as part of the season's ongoing famine storyline. Across 122 comments, the top reply (297 likes) got straight to the point: Maomao hasn't changed a bit, she's still looking to turn royalty into a paycheck. From there the thread settled into its favorite running joke -- Maomao and Jinshi talking in completely different directions without either one noticing. It even produced an unexpected history lesson by the end.

ColumnAnimer/anime(朝日新聞の鈴木敏夫インタビューをAUTOMATON WESTが英訳した記事のスレッド)
Ghibli's Producer Waited Out the Ghibli-Style AI Trend. What Slop Sounds Like in Japanese.
Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki turned down every interview request during the Ghibli-style AI image boom, because he figured people would get bored of it on their own. He said so in an interview with Asahi Shimbun, AUTOMATON WEST put it into English, and it landed on r/anime. I opened that thread expecting a fight, since I read these comment sections every night for a living. Almost nobody was fighting. Here is what that thread actually said, what happens to the word slop when I carry it into Japanese, and why the Miyazaki line about an insult to life itself keeps getting attached to the wrong thing.
