I'm not watching it, but I check it sometimes too and I prefer it to the original, mostly Goku. But there is nothing in this world that is going to make me wait two years for new DB content.

I may begin once they start with the Universe 6 tournament, mainly because I want to see some of those fights again, but that's still just a maybe. I have no interest in watching completely arcs that I have already seen so close to when I originally watched them. When I rewatch Super years down the line, I'll watch the dub for sure but right now it's still no.

Are you kidding me? Of course I watch the Super every week. Super Saturday is what I call it. I watch the Sub live, then watch the dub, then re-watch the Sub with Subtitles!! The English Dub is way better than the original in my opinion. Love the VA of Goku and the others. It's so refreshing not hearing the granny voice. While I loved Masako Nozawa's Goku Black voice, I don't care for her Gohan and Goku voices.

I watch it every now and then for important moments, but otherwise I have no interest in watching it twice for the English dub. The script can be a bit much at times, but the voice acting has improved a lot, especially with Goku. Episode 11 was great.

Almost every week. I love Sean as Goku....I think Nozawa does great work but I just dont like her adult Goku. I know hes supposed to be an airhead of sorts but sometimes her tone just makes him sound beyond whiney/dumb.

Sean gives him more of a "I dont know cause its never mattered to me" carefree vibe.

English dub yes. Been refreshing, been so long so long since the episodes aired forgot most of the beats in the episodes, the dub cast especially Schemmel are putting in the performance of their careers. Performance wise so far they are definitely doing a better job than the Japanese cast, I am enjoying Nozawa's as Goku but it almost 100 eps she has only pulled off one fantastic goosebump worthy scene (ep 61), but her Black was phenomenal to the point it won't ever be matched but Horikawa hasn't really done anything stand out so far, people big him up but he hasn't really matched the hype (I haven't seen Z in JPN properly).

I don't have access to the dub every week as it doesn't air here in Canada. I watch a few Youtube clips to see a bit of the dub but to be honest the Japanese grew on me. I actually prefer the Japanese version over the English now, and that's unheard of coming from a guy who knows virtually nothing of the Japanese culture and how I previously viewed the Japanese version.

Funny thing is, watching the Japanese version constantly has gotten me to learn a few words :)

Nope. I was at first, but it started to feel really tedious. Like, I've already watched Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' in both Japanese and English, and I watched Japanese Super retell those stories. I really don't need a 4th go at the same plots.
I did drop in on the dub to see some of the Super-exclusive-content: Super Saiyan Mr. Satan, the introduction of Champa and Vados, Vegeta cooking for Whis, etc.
As of now though, I don't see myself watching the dub regularly again until after they finish the Resurrection 'F' retelling. Though I am tempted to watch it just to hear more of Chris Ayres.

The only dub I will watch is the German, which will arrive soon. I just hope it's the old voice actors and not the new ones from DBZKai.

The only Super dub I find even vaguely interesting is the Bang Zoom version and that's purely because the voices are new interpretations so it naturally makes me curious enough to watch. The stories themselves are just boring rehashes of the movies and as far as I can tell, none of the newer concepts aside from Black Goku are even remotely interesting to me, I just don't care about Super anymore.

What little I've sampled of Funi's Super dub seems good but it's still not enough to make me care about the show. I've never had a strong attachment to that cast.

Nope. I've seen one full episode (the Tate one where Gokû starts his training under Whis and with Vegeta) and a handful of scenes from other episodes I was interested in.

Super is much more an event anime for me (I watch as it happens in real time, but don't go back much after). I also don't watch much TV in general anymore and I'm not nearly as attached to the dub as I used to be.

Like Nitro, I'm much more interested in the Bang Zoom dub than the FUNi dub, because we already know what to expect from the current FUNi cast.

I really enjoy it a lot.
Lets see if that saves the RoF arc, lol. Tbh the only way to save it is to redo the Goku vs Frieza fight. Pretty much if that one fight wasn't trash the arc wouldn't of been that bad. If they were really going to be so lazy or so rushed they couldn't make a decent fight they might as well just shoved the movie fight right in there, lol. I'm interested to see chris ayres again though, especially in the torturing Gohan scene.

I hope they can save the crappy RoF arc. It's the worst thing that ever happened to Dragon ball
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

Same, I even skip the fillers of the sub every now and then.
I've been trying to drop the show for over 2 months now, but then I feel out of the loop or someone brags on an episode, or something like that always drags me back in.
Plus it's only 25 minutes once a week, so it's not a huge sacrifice. That's keeping me into it. Plus I've been watching it this long why stop now unless something disastrous happens?

Yes I am. I'm looking forward to the dub getting past the resurrection F material so they can finally get to the new story stuff.

This right here. Super, then Super subbed, then dubbed, then Buu Kai to round out the evening. :thumbup:

This is kinda off-topic but the someone did some English Dub voiceovers for Goku vs Android 17 fight, while adding some cool background music and it's pretty entertaining.

I wouldn't got that far. Yeah, it a bad arc. Like a really bad arc. Especially the second half of it. But the franchise has done worse...
