Misses Elise-chan! Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just want to see more of Krillin. As for the new villians, I hope they give them more depth to their characters, but it is a shonen fighting anime, so I don't expect much.

Lord Raven Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 @Alertcircuit - I'm inclined to agree, but Toriyama also sucks at sticking to a plan, which is why I found Buu Saga to be hard to watch after Ultimate Gohan. I would think Gohan had some PTSD from keeping villains alive longer than he needs to given what happened with Cell, but alas. I heard that Super's gonna be 100 episodes - which was all of Frieza and Cell in Kai (and 6 years of Gohan's life). The manga will be based on the anime too, and not the other way around, so I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hey, the first episode aired a couple of days ago. It wasn't too shabby, nothing really happened but it feels more like a continuation of DBZ than GT ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rudy Mjølnir Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It was good for a start, a slice of life episode to hook up the old, loyal fans. Not too thrilled that they are going to retell BoG, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It was an interesting start, slice of life, felt more like old dragon ball again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Are you sure old dragonball was slice of life? Old Dragonball was generally pretty action-y in style with quite a bit of comedy and quirkiness, unless you're talking about Goku and Krillin's training as slice of life. It definitely feels like Dragonball in the same way Z feels like Dragonball, but I wouldn't say that it's exactly like old Dragon Ball. It seems more like parts of Z's filler made into a series so far. Dragonball filler was generally always about Goku fighting some bad guys or having Kami do some weird shit.

Sentacotus Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Here's a link to see the japanese dubs of the episodes. Don't worry they are subtitled although you do have to disable ad block. http://kissanime.com/Anime/Dragon-Ball-Super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dragon Ball was more of an adventure series. Honestly, if this series turns out to be nothing but slice of life with Dragon Ball characters.... I will be totally okay with that.

Rei Rei Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm bumping this thread a bit, because IT NEEDS to be said: The series' artwork is atrocious. Like, seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it really that bad for the entire series? I have seen most people only post screencaps of that one episode and constantly complaining about that specific fight scene but never stills from other episodes.

Sentacotus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Episode 5 definetely had the weakest animation but the episodes before it were pretty decent. Episode 1 and 2 in particular looked pretty darn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Lets not act like DBZ was a bastion of good animation. "Goku achieved the pinnacle of his race! ... derp" This one I found especially egregious because they put the right one into Kai. What the hell! Close-up of derpy face Oh man Sometimes there are deadlines and the primary animation company is not available. As it stands, that's probably what happened for episode 5, and I think in this day and age they'll just wait for a re-release (ie when there's no strict weekly deadlines) to really care about fixing it.

Sentacotus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I actually didn't realize some of the animation derps in Episode 5 until people brought it up and froze the frames. Also call me crazy but I always thought the flatter derpier faces/hair had a charm to them. Maybe that was part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crysta Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 i think they went "fuck it we already did this fight in the movie" on this one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I got a chuckle out of that. That could be the case coupled with what LordRaven said about the deadlines. I don't remember who but a Westerner who worked over in the Japanese anime industry did say something along the lines about how the animators/artists are paid very little to nothing at all and are essentially overworked because of the weekly deadlines. Its not a new thing and has been an issue for the past 50 years but nontheless one can see how it potentially impacts the final product. EDIT: Heres a video on it.

Radiant head Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Saw the first couple episodes. The slice of life aspect is really fun to watch, but once that gets out of the way, I'm not sure I want to see a super dragged out version of BotG and the new movie.
