Could the Dragon Ball Super anime be ending soon?

[Zephyr]

Even with Dragonball , there were only a few major overall arcs/sagas whatever you want to call them before he changed things.

Definitely true. But I mean, if anything, that lends more to the idea that Super will begin to change, rather than end. The current arc was definitely a change of pace in a lot of ways. I wouldn't be surprised to see it veer more and more in this direction. It not doing so wouldn't be terribly surprising either, though.

[Xeztin]

If they ended Super at this point in time with all the money they are making, merch sales, ratings in the top 10 every week, it'd be a very stupid move of everyone who was involved. I think Super is gearing towards that position where it won't have a end until its not pulling in the sales anymore, even if it doesn't make sense we'll get arc after arc in my opinion and even without Toriyama. I think what they will do is plan/order up to so many episodes, (72 for example) and see how it's doing which its doing pretty well right now, so they'll prob order 72 more.

Let this horror end! I can't stand anymore ooc Goku and mediocre fight scenes.

Guess what don't watch it then. Seriously you ARE NOT OBLIGED to watch the show.

But yeah let's be selfish and since I don't like please let it end. Absolutely hate this attitude.

Well, it's his opinion, he has right to express himself

I would love for Super, to run at least another year from April, to get more Toriyama stories.
Because that's what I love about Super. I really enjoy Toriyama's new stuff since BoG.
Being a fan since late 90's and being overwhelmed by weird fan stuff after GT ended in the beginning of modern internet, I really like the age we are in now.
With all the info and news right away.

But seriously, the execution of Super anime, is one big fuckfest. The art sometimes, choreography, music...
I am happy with the story, but not happy with the show itself. I really liked that gang fight against Black and Zamasu, but that was one of the really good moments the show had.
Even Vegeta's Final Flash against Magetta was pretty lackluster. I remember as a kid, feeling the tension as Vegeta was powering up in Z against Cell and I somehow enjoyed how long it took.
It had that sense of ''Shit, he's amassing that much power'' and boom. In Super, it's mostly character glowing and generic blast. At least the acting is on par and I really love lot of the new characters
like Whis and Beerus, mostly thanks to their portrayal. Champa was great as well. Little sad about symplistic designs of Toriyama's new art direction, but well, he's always changing, at least he keeps it fresh.

It was mostly DBZ's oldschoolness, that made it stand out for me as a kid in flood of series like Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Pokémon and Digimon.
It was the art, story, fight choreography and continuous format of weekly episodes with cliffhangers.

He does but this thread isn't asking if people want Super to end or not.

Also I am saying he can't can't like Super but asking for it to stop when he doesn't have to watch the show irritates me. Other people enjoy the show you don't like it? Fair enough then don't watch it!

Please keep in mind Dragon Ball is a very old franchise thus people have certain expectations, it's not like it's a new show buzzing lol
You are unhappy with a product? Obviously do complain and post on forums otherwise how can you let your message pass across lol

Having complaints is fine but within reason. But it's literally impossible to read a single topic in this sub forum without somebody complaining, do people have complain that much? No. Take the recent episode discusion thread blowing up unnecessary over something so negligible and the thread started to becone hard to read and now I just flat out refuse to visit that thread.

That's how ridiculous this has gotten it's putting people off thread topics.

But at the same time, the same logic for someone not having to watch Suepr also holds for someone not having to read their complaints. Or at the very least don't respond to them. I feel like many take it as a personal attack when someone even says they don't like something in the show just a little bit. I mean, we have the right to express our opinion, whether negative or positive. But we also have to do it within acceptable parameters like forming complete sentences instead of just pitching out incomprehensible lines.

Between the merchandise sales among everything else Super has going for it right now, I can't imagine them wrapping it up so quickly. Worst case scenario, they continue to do enough little things to irritate Toriyama and he leaves the project, and we're left with a show that might continue to dwindle in quality for a year or so as they run it into the ground without his influence (assuming they learned nothing from both GT's 'failure' and working alongside Toriyama this time around to prevent doing such a thing), but even then the actual ending of the show would be a way's off from where we are right now.

That said though, it would almost be kind of funny if when the show ended, we had absolutely no prompting, it just...stopped. Akin to how the manga originally ended. I dunno that they could even pull that off though, with the way things are advertised nowadays. We'd probably notice something was up when we didn't get the next so many episodes previewed in a magazine later.

[JulieYBM]

So introducing an character like Daishinkan who is stronger than Whis was for nothing?? Come on guys it will be much more episodes otherwise they would never introduce him and

characters like Hit,Cabba,Champa,Vados they are fresh for something new... There is so much build up for the future and some really think it will end soon??? that's crazy..

Uub and the hugely open-ended ending of the original comic would like to have a word with you.

The person who derailed this topic was you, with your fanatical overreaction to somebody expressing their opinion. He was completely in line along with everybody else saying they want it to continue because they enjoy it and want to see more. (I can only assume these people are masochists.)

"Don't like it, then don't watch it" is very familiar to "Don't like our country, then get out". Just saying.

[Gyt Kaliba]

He was completely in line along with everybody else saying they want it to continue because they enjoy it and want to see more. (I can only assume these people are masochists.)

It's stuff like that last bit that are completely superfluous and ridiculous though. Just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean there has to be anything to someone else's enjoyment of it other than...well, them actually enjoying it.

I don't like Spongebob in the least, but I don't assume people that do are only enjoying it in an 'ironic' or 'masochistic' vein. People like what they like, what is so hard to understand about that?

(That's not to say that enjoying things in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way isn't a thing though, because it is and can easily be a legit way to enjoy something. But to assume anyone that says they just flat-out like something is lying or deluded and clearly they only like it in that manner, is ridiculous. Pretty sure they'd know their own feelings towards a product better than anyone else would.)

It's a tongue in cheek way of expressing my opinion about the show, what is wrong with you? We are neither robots or politicians. If the tiniest bit of personality that doesn't align with your own taste offends you, I really don't know what to say.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm not 'offended', I'm just questioning the point of continuing to beat the same dead horse again and again, especially when it derails your own point. Cuz see, here's the thing. The rest of your post? I agree with it, at least to a point. People should be allowed to voice displeasure about the series, but it's all in how you articulate it. And you basically torpedoed your own good point with the ending aside of 'only masochists watch Super, surely.'

That said though, the cesspool of negativity that pervades the entire Super subsection at times can definitely be overwhelming, to the point that myself and apparently quite a few other really are left to question why, if it's that bad to your eyes, why you continue to watch and complain about it in the first place. If I don't like something, I don't watch it nor do I talk about it to the degree that joining a forum conversation about it would require. To do so, that's what sounds like 'masochism' to me.

[Chuquita]

The negativity about Super is so strong that for the first time, I find myself talking more about Super on websites outside of Kanzenshuu than inside it. There are helpful and informative posts here, don't get me wrong, but the overwhelming unpleasantness has gotten to the point that I'd rather get Super updates and info from people's Twitter feeds because I won't see a bunch of posts complaining about Gokû or the plot while scrolling looking for translated episode summaries.

You're right maybe I shouldn't have commented but my point does completely stand though.

@bold Also that is not the same thing at all. Not even remotely. Leaving a country is A LOT harder then not watching a show you are NOT supposed to be watching anyway.

Ringing this back on topic...

Yeah that probably won't happen. If Super was ending then FujiTV would need to announce/promote the show taking the time slot. With how Toriko was announced to end and Buu Kai was gonna take over, and then few months before Buu Kai was going to end Super got announced. That new Monster Hunter anime got announced I remember a few people were getting worried but then it turned out FujiTV created a new slot for it.

Also if the show were to end at some stage they'd probably wanna make a big hoohah about it!

[Anime Kitten]

This topic had really derailed for a bit. I'd very much encourage people to read through the entire OP before posting. I'm simply asking your thoughts on the likelihood of whether the Super anime is ending soon. Not who can watch it or whether you want it to end or whether it should end.

You can't imagine, how puzzled, sad and pissed off I was, when Goku left with Shenron, then the ending montage began and after that was written, The End.
I was 11 and I was like, no, what will I do in afternoon after school when DB ran? Mystery solved with Saint Seiya
Where the ending of Poseidon arc pissed me as well, they won and after that ''And now my young warriors, there will be no bad shit anymore'' End.
This happened with the Hades arc as well. People think that DB manga has abrupt ending. No, it has awesome and underrated open ending about new adventures.
Saint Seiya? [spoiler]The main character lies dead in Athena's hands and end titles[/spoiler]
PS: [spoiler]Yeah, thanks to Next Dimension, we know that he is in coma and will die in three days because he Hades sword is slowly reaching for his heart, but you don't know that from the original manga and anime adaptation[/spoiler]

And yeah, I am critical of Super, because the series can't live up to previous anime adaptations, but, I will be sad and puzzled, when it ends and some new dumb shonen about cooking or whatever, will take it's place.

[Nekis13]

I don't want Super to end just yet.

Buuut, I do see it running AT LEAST for another year. 100-150 episodes in total or so. This could fit around 3-4ish arcs.

[ArchedThunder]

Unlikely, Dragon Ball is making too much money. The 72 episode thing is nothing, it's just that they haven't announced the box sets past that.
