There's nothing to really say about Super. It's a pile of dogshit that's making GT look good.

They put Dragonball back on tv with a new series and aren't putting the effort into actually making it even slightly decent other than a few isolated moments of comedy with Vegeta. I imagine most viewers have just dropped the show by now, I know I certainly did when I saw the direction it was going.

in kanto region (tokyo + a bunch of other places) it was the 8th most watched anime last week (behind mainstays like sazae-san, shin-chan, conan, and one piece), and the second most dvr'd anime

Todays episode of Super was really good and next weeks is Vegeta slice of life.

Thank you Toei and Toriyama for making a Dragon Ball series especially for me.

For better or for worse, Super is almost exactly like DB/Z. Episodes that are nothing but drawn out fights, the occasional weird/bad art, rehashes of things done before.

The negative backlash is from people who either a) have forgotten what it was like back then (or never watched the original) or b) are more accustomed to/prefer more limited run type stuff.

Are you kidding, they're probably drawing up designs for Super Satan 4 and Super Satan God, along with Majin Beebus.

I realise the preview has already spoiled the end of the joke, but I do like the idea of Goku trying to train with Krillin next episode. Anything that touches on the blind hope he'll somehow be relevant again.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
When Super's reshowing the movies then it's bad because it manages to miss the actual cool bits (Goku passing out because he's nowhere near as strong as Beerus yet and there's a shitload of stronger people. Or Bulma slapping him) and it obviously doesn't look as good.

But then. When it stops doing that. Then we truly get art, such as this week with Goku being kicked out of his house. That's the real stuff and if it's two episodes of that after every twelve weeks then so be it, whatever means are needed for God Satan to show his power.

There is a slight difference in that Dragonball was animating something that was previously only available in manga form. Even though the dragonball anime absolutely had flaws in its pacing and animation budget, it still had the virtue of being an animated version which comes with its own advantages over still pictures. For a lot of people the anime is an improvement over the manga because audio/motion/color add a lot to the experience.

The problem Super has in that regards with the rehash stuff is that it doesn't have that upgrade from the manga to help float it along. I'd have watched DBZ even if I'd read the manga because it adds something. Going from the uber-high quality, relatively tight pacing theatrical releases to the anime feels like a measurable drop in quality. You've seen this before, exactly like this, except it looked better and took half as long.

That isn't to say Super is without its advantages. Their new material is pretty much all fantastic, and once they get out of the remake stuff they'll lose their single largest flaw as a result. Even in the rehash stuff you still have fun little tidbits like Goku being a dick to Beerus in replicating the neck chop and the like.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Why did DBM retell Cooler's Revenge with slight differences? Seems like a pointless diversion.

Super is a superior anime because it featured Goku getting kicked out of his house, Vegeta moonlighting as a chef, and Super Satan saving the universe.

plus super has made noticeable improvements to the battle of gods content (goku actually seems to turn into a god, the fight between beers and goku was a lot better, etc.)

The Super manga is rushing through things so fast that it gives me whiplash when I stop reading it. Whoever is writting it wants to just be done with the movie stuff as quickly as possible.

Everything is dragged out way for too long and the animation is subpar.

And before you say that that was how it was in the DBZ anime too, yes, I know it was. I don't think the DBZ anime is worth watching either.

It'll probably end up as a series with a watching list, just skipping all the serious fighting episodes, watching amazing stuff like the first two and this week's, and maybe someone will make a video of all the good bits from the boring episodes, such as Vegeta's cooking or Oolong's Rock Paper Scissor.
