As I said before the story has a lot of promise with Gohan and the other half saiyans having to defending Earth from new evil super saiyans with Goku and Vegeta gone but the execution doesn't hold up. I still like Absalon and want to see it finished but it isn't the best Dragonball fanfiction and I do think it could be done much better.

I was once a diehard Absalon fan and now I think it's absolutely horrible. I was once in the inner circle of Mellavelli through a project of his pupils' and furthermore, I saw Mellavelli's ego like never before. His pupil made fun of me getting molested at the age of 19 by a worship leader on a public DeviantArt journal, something I told him privately after he asked me why I hated my college. Between me losing complete respect for Melvin and getting cyberbullied by his pupil I ended up accidentally talking to the former producer of Absalon and finding out the show's final product was supposed to be a lot better. I guess you'd say the ability to connect teacher and pupil as one and the same is what led my friend David and I to having to alert the Dragonball community to this problem.

http://aspiringcreator.deviantart.com/a ... -613524835

There's a lot of bad stuff that goes on behind the scenes in the Dragonball Absalon community, from small details such as Mellavelli deleting comments being a known fact from 2012 onwards that Malik himself has pointed out to the fact that his pupil is a confirmed misogynist and homophobe. That's why when the falling out between me and him reached a nadir it recolored my perception of the series so that after May of this year when the first part of episode five dropped I felt like it jumped the shark completely. Then I watched the series as a whole marathon-style (because I had a love-hate relationship with the show) for the first time, as opposed to watching it according to the day released and rewatching older episodes sporadically. The show's former good has so outweighed the bad for me that I now fully hate the show. Hell, take a look at these.

http://aspiringcreator.deviantart.com/a ... -613667478

The problem is that the people who support Absalon are never going to properly see the fact Melvin is creating something both with far less substance than it could've had and something that has essentially become a front for someone whose ego is utterly enormous. Nonetheless, I'll continue to watch the new episodes and read the new manga just because there's the ability to laugh at how terrible it is. After watching Resurrection 'F' for the third time with a good friend of mine who had to deal with Melvin's pupil and seeing together that Toriyama is indeed back, I would say Absalon has become the only watchable way to watch Dragonball Evolution. Agreed?

Hahahahahaha. If you don't agree with his views and his nature outways your love for the show, don't watch it? The fact that you go out of your way to do this shows how out of touch with the real world you are, my goodness. Go argue with Donald trump fans!

Okay, I really enjoyed this newish infamous take on Kuririn. Voice Actor is pretty good! These kinds of shorts, I would love to see extended! If there was a staff to take over this project and could work on episodes like this while the main ones are worked on by the main artist, it'd be so productive.

Appreciate it. ☺️ I look at the series and I think my most detailed criticism I can provide for it right this instant (because I'm waiting for the new episode section) is that the show feels too much like a series of trailers now. It wasn't executed first as any type of fanfic and that's why its' ability for story value has suffered.

I also wanted to apologize if it seems like I deleted my thanks to Lord Beerus; I sent him and Cetera messages thanking them for standing up for me and to everyone who's replied respectfully, I want to thank you for your kindness.
The above clip is for you guys to get an exact picture of my suffering at the hands of Mellavelli's pupil. I have pictures of its' earlier view count before it was accidentally deleted if you don't believe me, so I want to ask any fans of Dragonball Absalon this sincere question.
Can you possibly support Mellavelli without judgment? I can't, at this point. I think I've said everything I had to say.

I still watch it just to see where its going if a have 5 mins to kill. Even though the animation isn't that good and the plot isn't executed properly I do enjoy the plot for what it is and think Toriyama could have made this story so much good.

Absalon is like the star wars prequels to me, good story lines with bad deliverance.
