With those watching the weekly Eng Dub it is not really going anywhere especially with the dub being so far behind it is like you're practically watching new episodes.

It had it's moments I guess.
The Zamasu arc being the best one in my opinion.
Before the TOP I was going to rate DBS a 7 out of 10, But now after the tournament ratings dropped to a 5 out of 10 overall.
I really didn't enjoy this last arc, and even though we still don't know it's ending it doesn't really matter for me anymore.
DBS is clearly meant for a younger audience of which I no longer belong, so no I will not really miss it.

For now, considering we don't know the full extent of the future of the show, yes, I'll miss Super. I found it thoroughly entertaining for the most part in both mediums.

Enjoyed both the anime and the manga and will truly miss super.
It was great having something to look forward to every week.

At least I will still be able to get my monthly manga fix.

No. The only good thing that came out of Super was Goku Black and even he was shortly lived. Modern DB just doesn't cut It for me, the whole Toriyama vibe feels off. Tbh I only enjoyed around 7 episodes out of 130? It just failed to reach up to that tension and twists DB/DBZ had.

I freaking love your Avatar! Can I save it? I wont use it but I do want to save it to my computer.

AND YES I WILL MISS SUPER! I really know the quality was extremely subpar AT BEST. But nothing will beat the sheer excitement it gave to me and the happiness it brought to me.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

What about you?
It was an okay addition to the franchise. Had a lot of fun watching Super Saiyan 2 getting its deserved love, I appreciated some concepts that were introduced and a couple of awesome soundtracks but I don't think I'm going to miss it. I have found my way to enjoy the franchise without having to expect the "main series" to do something.

Goodbye, Dragon Ball Super. :wave:

Not really, no. It was only a 5/10 now that the ToP is pretty much over and nothing kept me invested enough to really go back save for possible review purposes.

Yes I'm going to miss Super, but I don't think the show taking a break is a bad thing. Super has had it's share of issues but they delivered a pretty decent arc with the Tournament of Power. I wish the previous arcs had the detail that this arc has, some episodes in the first half of Super don't really look like DBZ and the TOP arc has really tried to get back to that style. There's plenty more story to tell too. 4 universes didn't participate in this tournament because their populations were strong enough to not be erased. So that has to mean there's a fighter stronger than Jiren out there right? Plus if the erased universes aren't brought back with the Super Dragon Balls then there will need to be a dragon ball hunt arc with Vegeta making good on his promise to restore Universe 6 at least. I just can't believe that it would be all over at this point, there's no reason to leave Super hanging like this. It'll be back.

Yes, outside the crappy movie adaptions and the mediocre U6 tournament, I've enjoyed the vast majority of it. My major complaints was not using certain characters like Gohan till the last arc, Trunks/Goten literally not doing anything, the constant shafting of Buu despite hyping him up for two tournaments,etc.

Of course. Even to the people who don’t like it very much are going to hate that they have not as much to talk about outside of the games, before Super, many forums including this one was stagnant in terms of talking about the series, reiterating the same topics multiple times, talking about the same things day in and day out, hell it STILL goes on and is a big habit the fanbase has, and I don’t even know why.

But I enjoyed it for what it was, it had its ups and downs, but in the end I enjoyed it, whatever issues that caused the downs in the series I hope they resolve over this hiatus to make the series come back better than ever before, with good writing AND action.

I have really enjoyed both the anime and manga of Super. Since we don't know the full future of Super yet, for now I'm going miss it. It was really enjoyable and has its issues but I enjoyed the ride. I'm still going to talk about it and of course keep up with the manga and movie.

Watching episodes eaxh Saturday night (local time) is a tradition I will miss a lot, I hope DB will come back soon.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Most definitely yes. This was the first DB series I got to follow live each week. It became a part of my weekends. Yes there were flaws but I'll miss DBS for sure

I know how you feel Gohan, you are gentle, you do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings. But it is because you cherish life that you must protect it. Please drop your restraints. Protect the life I once loved. You have the strength, my scanners sensed it..." -Android 16

Absolutely, I loved it. Issues and all. Having new Dragon Ball episodes every week was amazing.

I think so, yes. I wouldn't have half a year ago, but the TOP, despite all it's many, many flaws, has proven that modern DB can be fun for me. I've said this before, when the we still weren't sure if the series would end after this arc, that it would be a shame for DBS to end right as it was getting better and better: better animation quality, better use of the main cast, better soundtrack, etc. The entertainment value has dropped somewhat since ep 120, but it still a fun ride. If it weren't for the movie, I'd be really bummed out right now.
