They didn't want to make two custom DBZ-themed intros I imagine, because they all admit this may be the worst game they've played

I'm personally shocked that using every bit of ki in their blasts wasn't how DBZ ended up in Super. I thought people'd be firing golden Kamehamehas-or equivalent- because they went from Super Saiyan to base form.

Or that people aren't fusing on top of fusing.

And now they're on a boring tournament arc. On the other hand, MHA had a really good tournament arc. Edit: I will admit, I didn't mind the Zamas/Goku Black arc. But after that I lost interest when it devolved into tournaments.

Besides pure nostalgia, explain how Dragonball kept your attention through all the stupid poo poo in the Buu saga, plus GT, yet Super is where you lose interest. Super has a lot of problems, but they're all the same problems Z had in the first place. It's also had some genuinely good trends, like de-emphasizing power levels and Beerus and Whis being generally great.

Animation wise yes, but Black and the current Tournament both have poor pacing (nothing compared to Z but still). I'm also still mad Buu didn't get put in the tournament; they hyped it up so much, plus it's a ring-out style tournament, so Buu's invincibility isn't as much of a writing hurdle as usual. But no, we get jobber-rear end Tien because gently caress me I guess.

I still do like it overall.

Stopped watching Z after the Cell Saga ended, that felt like a good stopping point for me. Never watched GT.So the personal attack was unwarranted. Then I found out about Super and I thought "this looks cool". Then I watched it and I was bored out of my skull. A while later I was able to sit through the Zamas arc before losing my interest.

So the Cell saga is where you lost interest, not Super. Also, never personally attacked you, I just said the Buu saga has dumb poo poo in it. Which it does; I like the Buu saga, to be clear, but it has plenty of undeniably stupid poo poo in it all the same. Which is why I couldn't fathom someone going through that and getting suddenly turned off by Super. If you watched the Cell saga ages ago then joined us in the modern day, I can see that.

That is pretty much what happened,yeah. I hadn't paid ANY attention to the series after the Cell Saga was over. One day, a friend of mine was like "hey here's this cool new Dragonball series" and I was like "Neat". Then I watched it. And yes, I did hear about GT( mostly because I mistakenly assumed that was the "cool new series"), but I got as far as the opening before going "Nope" and backing the gently caress out. Sounds like I made the right call.

I stopped watching DB after Buu first aired ages ago; I didn't care about the movies and actively hated GT. I went to check out Super once I heard the phrase "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" on the podcast, and I had the opposite reaction, funny enough. Super is all the dumb stuff I like in DB (light tone, absurd scale, Goku being a dumbass) with the dumb stuff I don't like taken out or dialed back (giant muscles, power level numbers, mediocre melodrama).

I mostly got burned out because the movie arcs loving dragged then there was some filler (from what I remember). Then the Zamas arc happened, but by then, well, I was kinda too bored to continue past that. Perhaps if I'd jumped in on a later date I'd have enjoyed it more.

Probably should have, in hindsight. Edit: But I still don't regret getting into My Hero Academia at all. I've been loving Season 1 so far.
