sometimes i watch with 4x speed. most times 1.25 or 1.5. they really like to stretch some things out. “go parn. save deedlit. i’ll deal with it.” “are you sure?” “go parn.” “are you sure?” “go parn.” “are you really, really sure?” get in the fucking robot. shinji
Ain’t that the truth. There used to be a shortened version of Naruto on utube that was like a third the length of the full versions, with out lose of any content.
Hey now, there’s no need to bring Farscape into this. (I’m joking. But Farscape was famously adapted into a very watchable re-cut that throws out a great deal of the original film.)
I never knew about the recut, but presumably it gets rid of a lot of the monster-of-the-week content?
When I watched it, I couldn’t really tell what was missing.
It did flow more smoothly than the original cut, but that’s probably mostly just thanks to not having to hit an exact target length in minutes.
I suspect that much of the cut content was the puppet character establishing side story bits and short side story vignettes. (Which I adore. But I didn’t notice them missing. Of course, that might be only because I’ve already seen them.)
I don’t think any of that was actually bad. It didn’t move the overarching plot along all the time, but that wasn’t the point.
I agree. The cut version is genuinely surprisingly great, but I think that’s mostly due to how great Farscape is, in general.
I actually prefer the fulll version.
The Farscape re-cut wasn’t so much necessary, as an impressive feat of thoughtful editing.
<Insert Anime here> is really good. You just need to cut away <roughly 75% of it>.
Bad TV apologia is a sure sign I won’t vibe with someone

You take that back!

I know, right? Sacrilege! Haha.

Do you know about how much it cut out?
