Dragon Ball Super

So is this arc just, like, a really slow retelling of the last movie?

Well, it's a side effect of them not changing voices when the characters get older.

Goku and sons get introduced as kids, when the high pitch voices make sense, but then, inexplicably, when they grow up, they don't bother to change the voices.

He's Mr. Bigglesworth.

I doubt it. This is how every DBZ arc starts. Goofy slice of life shit showing you what everyone's life is like, before the threat shows up and they spend the next 90 episodes fighting it.

DragonTeam is doing a good job. Will continue watching their subs.

Holy line thickness Batman!

So, I'm really LTTP when it comes to the DBZ universe the last few years.

I heard about Super back when it was about to start, and I've watched 4 episodes so far. Great. Nostalgia, etc. New big bad, ok cool. He's a little weird, but whatever, they're building up to a big fight.

Then I hear about this new movie (!) Resurrection F getting a cinema release here. Awesome! I go along to see it. WTF? They're friends now? What did I miss?

This will be old news to you all no dbout, but turns out there's a whole other movie I missed a couple of years back... Battle of the Gods. So let me get this straight; the new Super series is the story of BotG, just an extended version? It seems like a weird order to release BotG then begin Super which so far is the same story, then 4-5 episodes in release Resurrection F. The new movie has totally spoiled the story of Super which is still airing. Obviously it assumes you've seen BotG, but I hadn't even heard of it until now.

Dunno, not really complaining, but it's a weird way of doing it.

for my understanding the anime will be a retale of battle of gods and then continue with the story after the movie...

now i have to say that watching dragon ball on a weekly release is agonizing so far... i watched DBZ when i was a kid and it was a daily show, didnt saw a reason to watch dragon ball kai so i am new to this experience and the chapters are way too sloooooooooow (as expected from DBZ >.>)

I guess the thinking is that they want the series to contain all of the canon storyline of Dragon Ball. And Battle of the Gods was considered canon by Toriyama.

I like how in this version, everyone tries to fight Beerus.

Edit: Oh wait, I guess they did in the movie too, it was just over much faster.

Toriyama must hate Son-Gohan. sigh

Agree with you there. He was the strongest fighter when DBZ ended if I recall correctly. And a Buu to the face is enough to knock him out?

I mean, SSJ3-Goku was knocked out with two hits, so I don´t doubt that Awakened Gohan would fare much better. Still, getting knocked out by getting hit with Boo´s body. That´s just too cruel/lol.

I think they expressly stated that he hasn't trained at all since the Buu arc. So he's probably way out of shape.

Also, even though it went by a lot quicker, these scenes were cooler in the movie. I realize the movie probably has a much larger budget, but having Beerus beat Piccolo with chopsticks and smack Vegeta around is a lot better than just freezing him in place with his mind.

Super's animation so far is absolutely terrible. You'd think a series as big as Dragon Ball would have a bigger budget. Poor pacing, poor animation, terrible music that removes all gravitas.

Three chapters of the manga have been released. Hopefully it's not just to promote the series and it's released regularly. It's far superior to the anime.

Your mistake was putting Dragon Ball and gravitas in the same post.

episode 8 is out
---------------------


wow, the music played during Goku´s arrival was ... the worst track they could have possibly chosen. lol. so bad. Didn´t feel epic at all due to that unfitting music.

And ugh, those episodes feel so short, even though I can´t really complain about unneeded filler stuff.

I just don´t get why SS2 Vegeta was stronger than SS3 Goku

I think the more important question is, all these years later, why the hell hasn't Vegeta learned how to SS3 yet?

I think it has only been six months since they fought Kid Buu.

So he should have reached SS7 by now, agree´d.

If Resurrection F is any indication, it's a non-issue anyway, because he's just going to bypass the form entirely.

I would have no problem if that was Gohan, but Vegeta has never displayed the ability to drastically increase his power level by using his emotions. And he's been pretty pissed before.

But he's also never been effected by the "protecting/avenging my loved ones" trope before. Sure, he's been pissed off, but he's still always been fighting for himself.

In this episode, he was reacting to his wife being attacked. Which is something we've never seen before.
