Despite Toriyama 'writing' it, it has no direction or vision. At this point it's more of an advertisement to sell toys and merchandise than anything else. Selling merch was always a byproduct of Dragon Ball's stories, now it seems to be its main objective. You only say that because you probably wat...

How relevant do you want them to be? Looking back on it, Gotenks was one of Toriyama's most joke character ever. I don't think they were ever that relevant, just fodder used to extend the series with more chapters of crazy Buu arc concepts he was coming up at the time.

I still think it was weird as hell to have Frieza cross Goku's mind saying "Son Goku-san." As if Frieza would be cheering on Goku with such earnest

Well it’s easy, jiren wasn’t though of by the author yet. Of course they wouldn’t do anything the strongest mortal in the multiverse, so thinking of a logical explanation is probably not the best thing to do. Of course the alternate time line works well, but is just head canon THIS. I can't believe...

http://i63.tinypic.com/152z0i9.png When the trailer for the Universe survival arc first came out, these scenes played out but I just realized they were nowhere to be in neither the anime nor the manga. Toyotaro tried to recreate it: [spoiler] http://i66.tinypic.com/wskqx.png [/spoiler] but even the...

With Super ending, the ToP not living up to people's expectations, and Goku's new transformation, I feel like the atmosphere around here is that people don't really like it. "It's predictable." "There's no tension." "Toei's animation sucks." "The writing is horrend...

You recognize that Super is ending in March yet still think they're gonna squeeze a final battle against Jiren, a NEW villain reveal, a new plottwist, and a new final battle in just three episodes?

It doesn't change the fact that it's only a recolor, but I think that maybe this "transformation" is another case of Toei making a big deal of something that is not pretended by Toriyama to be that much. It's only Goku with "angel" hair. This. Anyway, I can't believe there is a ...

The idea of making Goku a literal God is so off-putting. He's suppose to be a "regular" guy. I put quotes on regular because being an alien with superman-like powers is anything but regular, but by regular I mean his personality. He's just a kid from the jungle who just wants to get strong...

Well that's disappointing. Not only is the design horrible, but also now it also makes UI ANOTHER TRANSFORMATION, where before it was implied to simply be a STATE of perfect martial arts instinct (that's why his hair was back to black, he was not using any transformation, he was simply letting his b...

I think calling it God Ki, and the new transformation Super Saiyan God, was the downfall of this concept to begin with as it implied an otherworldly level yet it's been half-assedly used as simply a power-up for Saiyans which other characters have been able to obtain without having anything "go...

With Hiromi Tsuru passing away recently, replacing her (and other characters who have been given new VAs) isn't much a big deal since Bulma was mostly a supporting character. But what if something were to happen to Masako Nozawa? She is in her 80s after all (I don't know how she's capable of still d...

What's the point of making a topic when there exists TWO threads (the episode one 127 and the official Super thread) where you can talk about this? Why do people feel so pressed to complain so loudly about a kid show not going their way?

This episode proves just how bad of a main character Goku has become. 17's interactions with Jiren were more enjoyable and contributed more to the plot than the past dozens of episodes of Goku going "omg, you're like sooooo strong, let's fight!" And yeah that backstory was as generic as th...

Everyone knows 17 is getting resurrected at the end of the series, but it was still a nice move by Toei because it was unexpected. I was literally thinking during this episode how the tension is non-existent since no one is fighting to kill (until Frieza) so while the universe is in danger of gettin...

People not understanding the anime exists solely to sell merchandise to little children (check out one of Kanzenshuu's latest podcast to see the difference in profits between broadcast licensing and merchandise licensing. It's astronomical) and thus taking things too seriously like discussing power ...

Hard to botch something that has no substance to begin with. If Toriyama had come up with a somewhat interesting enemy (which he still can as proven by Zamasu and Hit), Toei would've had something to work with.

It's not so much that the Falcouner OST was bad, but rather how it was used. It was overused , with literally almost every damn minute of anime air time having background music that killed the atmosphere of it. Especially those scenes that required some quiet time. The songs and production value of ...

With Toei cancelling DBS I surely hope that Dragon Ball Z 2018 movie will go above and beyond because BoG and RF weren't that good, IMO. It didn't top Wrath of the Dragon for me. RoF, I can understand, but BoG? Hmm..... now THAT'S a minority DB opinion, considering that BoG was the start of the reb...

This is just my opinion, but I think the inconsistency is a cause of the series having no cornerstone. Sure, Toriyama gives TOEI bullet points, but then they have to half-assedly fill in the details, and it shows. I'd be all up for Toyotaro taking over if it mean consistency. As I wrote in another t...
