Yeah I saw the final eps of DBZ. It still took them forever to do one thing...
It was the worst in the Freiza Saga:
Freiza: "The planet will explode in 5 MINUTES HAHAHAHAHHAHA!"
Goku: "Oh!"
King Kai: "Oh!"
Everyone else (five minutes each) : "Oh!"
*ten episodes later*
Freiza: "You idiot, there are only 2 minutes left!"
Goku: "Oh!"
Ad nauseum.
So true. But apparently that was partly to do with the editing of the Japanese version, but even that must have been a drag. All the dialogue was tuned down, as well as scenes cut out. So they just added them standing there panting for 'dramatic effect'.
