So what, in that case Mira and Towa are actually married with a kid named Fuu, Mira really does end up in control of Earth and Vegeta and Goku really do seem to kill each other in a fight at some point? That's all a little hard to accept honestly.

See, that's part of what makes Online hard to dispute. Its a story about correcting the paths of time. You go back to events and fix them. Its got that multiverse thing going on for it. That's where Xenoverse falls in. Its all a story about correcting and realigning the timelines. Something can happen and be true but in no way apply to the current situation.

But isn't by that logic every incarnation of DragonBall officially canon? That would include the debated GT.

I'd say yes and no to that because Toriyama himself said GT wasn't cannon. It doesn't mean however that some elements of it weren't taken and placed into Online, which means they'd only be cannon if there were in Online.

But if a multiverse theory is in place and it is canon that the show has multiple continuities there should be no point in anyone arguing is GT canon or not. It might not be canon with the main franchise but with the multiverse clause, it could just be "Earth #2356". Kind of like how the Trunks storyline is all kinds of fucked up.

Shinji watched Rei squeeze water out of a rag and then told her a few hours later that she was watching her squeeze that rag because it reminded him of how a mother would do it and then proceeded to say that Rei would be a great mother.

Then, we find out that it was the 11th anniversary of Shinji's mothers death, he laments over her grave with his father then goes home. Several hours after that, Asuka asks him to kiss her because she's bored, when Shinji refuses she then tries to convince him by saying "What, are you afraid to kiss a girl on the anniversary of your mother's death?"

There's less action than there ever was before. Well, less fighting action but more "action" action.

I mean, I'm 15 episodes in right now, the series ends at 26. Not a lot is going on sans an Angel every episode.

I have not seen an episode of digimon in forever. I'd like to see the new movies, even if they don't get traslated. It'd be pretty cool to see but isn't if ironic to have six films in a series called Digimon Adventure Tri?

Spoiler

I mean for an ending it doesn't really do anything. It just sort of gives me a 40 minute Sociology lesson about why we have to accept ourselves for what we are and in doing so the value we place on ourselves through what others think of us.
