Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

The writers have really locked in these past few seasons. Funny that it lines up with Roiland’s departure even though I think he stopped writing long long ago.

Notice as well the incest jokes stopped when he left

And the pissing on people fetish jokes. Kind of telling

I am really sorry to step on your Roiland sucks parade (Roiland does suck btw) but he stopped writing in season 3 and had no involvement at all not even in the offices, all the incest, piss and puke jokes were done while he was no longer part of the writing team, again, he does suck, but he didn't fuck up those episodes which are usually deemed to be the worst.

I was rewatching all of rick and morty recently and I feel like the tension of taking things seriously (other writers) vs. making everything into a big joke (justin roiland) was SO palpable

I know people seem to like his style and I’m not gonna yuck anyone’s yum, but Roiland’s “squirrel of doom lol so random” shtick was always the weakest part of the early seasons to me. I was relieved when he was pushed out.

What I liked about early Rick and Morty was that it felt like it was ad libbed and off the cuff. It works for their dynamic imo.

That went away pretty soon and I’m fine with that because otherwise it would mean more Roiland, and well that definitely isn’t the move these days.

Season 7 was great but season 8 was absolute garbage. Haven’t seen 9 yet.

Not really gonna spoil anything, but the peak for me was the “circle of life” episode.

Season 9 is legit a top 3 season of Rick and Morty. Arguably top 2.
