Why is the SDBH Anime so erratic?

I’m getting mildly annoyed lately that it seems impossible to ever know when the next SDBH promo episode comes out. There was definitely a time when they were more consistent about release, right? What happened?

Re: Does anyone know who wrote the horrible ending in the goku black arc?

I’m pretty sure the manga’s ending to the arc was a lot different in the details than the anime’s, so it definitely wasn’t Toyataro. If it was toriyama, it must have been very high level and vague considering how different the details of the two versions are, right?

Dragon Ball Ultra

Have you guys heard of this upcoming “Episode 1” from a YouTube Channel called Lord Aizen? A preview of what Goku will apparently achieve (“Super Saiyan Infinity”) in this fan animation has received over 3 million views on YouTube: https://img.youtube.com/vi/3WDxrFoGoTc/sddefault.jpg https://youtu.b...

“Z Movie Villain” as a Trope

For a bit of context, I have been on a superhero movie kick lately, and one of my favorite series is Fox’s X-Men. There are two movies in this franchise that I quite enjoy, despite their relatively negative reputation: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. While thinking about why I enjoy these movies as muc...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

Also, Turles has Cumber-like long hair, what does that mean? In the previous arc, he gained this new form(?) which seems to be from two things: - Fu gave him dark saiyan powers that he engineered from studying Cumber - turles never stops eating tree-of-might fruit. Like he has fruit in hand for a l...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

Dang, yet another tournament arc, huh? I guess it’s been a few years since the ToP but I prefer the non-tournament stories personally.

That said, the match ups look like fun and I love how the Gokus are just excited to have an excuse to fight each other.

YES the action in this chapter was so good! I love the set pieces and the fighting on display here. Fantastic, can’t wait for next chapter. I really, really hope this arc gets animated someday.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 80 - Official Discussion Thread

Actually I can definitely see the comparison with the general outline of the “generic pre-BoG Z Movie formula” and this arc: - at the start, our main protagonists are just living their lives doing their thing—in this case, Goku and Vegeta training on Beerus’s planet. - meanwhile, somewhere else in t...

Re: things that grind your gears

Every time I see a clip from something cool in the tournament of power I’m also reminded how extremely annoying the constant Omni-king reaction cuts are. They constantly take away from any good scene and completely kill the vibe and pacing. So so frustrating to see.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 80 - Official Discussion Thread

I dunno man, I don’t have a problem at all with the latest chapters of Dragon Ball Super—a fighting story—just being those fights. They’re drawn cool, I like to see the techniques, and to me it’s a lot of fun. It’s also a good payoff after many chapters of this arc being exposition dump and setup, b...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Is “saiyan beyond god” still a thing? I remember it as it was during the RoF movie, Pre-super-anime days. But a quick look at the wiki indicates that it’s still in the DBS anime version of that arc too. Are goku’s SSG transformations in later sagas somehow enhanced by his “saiyan beyond god” state? ...

Twitter has a lot of opinions too, but it’s pretty good for the news. “Dragon Ball Hype” is an account I like for this.

SDBH Promo Anime: Re-watch Review

Hi all! As you may know, SDBH has been on my mind a lot lately. I’ve been watching it since the anime started in 2018 month-to-month and personally always enjoyed it. Seeing many mixed opinions online, and how a lot of people don’t like it, I figured it was time for a re-watch to answer some questio...

Re: Why Won’t Toei, Bandai, etc. Release the SDBH Anime West, Again?

Oh you’re right that it wouldn’t do well on TV. I will clarify I mean something relatively simpler like region-unlocking the official uploads and providing subtitles for different languages. I’m rewatching the whole thing for the first time since seeing the episodes month-to-month (I will post my op...

Re: “Black Goku” and other strange translations

I have a MUGEN game (PC fighting game that’s a compilation of fan-developed content) and it includes “Super Saiyan White” Goku Black! :lol:

Regarding strange translations, I remember when Beerus was commonly referred to as “Bills” before he had an official English name.

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

I can’t read Japanese, so I don’t know exactly how they’ve labeled Gogeta on the card. But here’s how the anime staff interpreted that art: On the back of the card (this is typically where they list specific form names), right under the "Gogeta: BM" name at the top it says "Super Sai...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

I did a little bit more Google searching about Gogeta in the recent arc, and you’re right—it’s supposed to be SSBE like Vegatas form. But the anime staff got creative with the aura and colors. Pictures incoming: The card (which is holographic) looks like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_ZsAO5VIAM...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

What Gogeta got is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolution. It's the same form Vegeta presented in Universe Survival saga. Ah, I didn’t realize that it was just SSBE. Probably just due to artists’ styles, the aura looked a little different to me. I do like SSBE a lot tho, but you’re right then it w...
