If Super ends one day.....

Post by Lujin_16 » Thu Nov 17, 2016 8:28 pm

You think we will enjoy it more than now if we rewatch the series again??? Without waiting 1 week for 1 episode

i can imagine in future to have nostalgia and missing the time when we have seen the series per streaming..

For some people, their minds are made up, and that'll never change.

For a lot of people, I think rewatching the series in a marathon format will help sway or at least lighten a few opinions. When you are forced to wait a week between episodes, you tend to focus and dwell on aspects that you would otherwise ignore or partly waive.

You also lose much of the intended flow from week to week. There's only so much momentum you can build in 20 minutes, and you tend to forget that by the time the next week rolls around. I know that I felt the Universe 6 Tournament was disjointed and lacking momentum while it was airing, and while I still feel that way to an extent, it's certainly nowhere near to the level I had initially assumed. Again, flaws are amplified when you have no choice but to dwell on them.

It goes for all aspects, really. Episodes with bad animation that irritated me for an entire week are but a fleeting moment in marathon-form before you're back to the good stuff. You get to form an opinion on things with a whole perspective, so you're never unintentionally blowing things out of proportion.

I'm sure when everything's said and done, I'll miss the thrill and excitement of it currently airing -- the mystery, the suspense, the ups and downs in discussion -- but in terms of enjoying the show as a complete product, I'll be content in its completion.

There's no if. It will end one day.

For me yes cause its flaws won't be nearly as noticeable as they are now.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

For me personally - yes, I do I will have nostalgia in years to come when Super inevitably comes to an end.

Despite its flaws, Super has now become an important milestone in my fandom and history with the franchise, simply because it's the first time I've watched the series and for the content to be genuinely new.

It also feels like a longer week now that I can only see a new episode every sunday whereas back in the day there would be five new episodes a week, which as Ajay said takes away from the intended flow. I plan on marathoning the arcs we've seen thus far soon and I'm sure that will make things a bit easier.

Also, Super has helped me to get used to the Japanese version, and ever since I really came to appreciate Nozawa I've been watching the original series that way, and every day I look forward to seeing more.

Well yes..
To tell the truth I already rewached the whole super until Goku black came 2 times.. yes I am pretty jobless

It's a hell of a lot better..
Much much more interesting than z when I watch it like that..

Even though I know this fact.. waiting for a week and seeing an episode I again feel it's disjointed and rushed.. and so I complain sometimes..
(I should really stop doing that huh :| )

One Piece hasn't ended yet. I don't see why Super can't go for that long.

I will surely miss it. We have been begging for years for a new DB series, and we finally got one written by Toriyama, and it's also very good in my opinion. Surely, waiting a week for a episode is too much even though I got used to it now, luckily it's coming to Italy so I will finally enjoy it in the pace I'm used to and with the voices I'm used to. I will probably like it even more.

So? They still will end one day. The alternative would be "forever".

You don't know that for sure. It could very much go on forever and outlive us all.

I do think Super will end one day, but I could see Dragon Ball continue indefinitely, especially with recent developments such as the Dragon Ball Room, but that will all depend on how successful the material they put out will be. From TOEI's perspective I'd think they would want to keep the franchise going as long as it's profitable. As Super is performing well currently I don't see the series itself being a problem for them in that regard.

The only obstacle I could see would be that tragic day (which unfortunately will come) where Masako Nozawa dies, because her voice has been synonymous with Goku for so long, and Goku is very symbolic for Dragon Ball as a whole. I have a hunch TOEI are aware of this, and that in part explains why new installments such as Super and the JSAT special are confined to the 10-year time gap without any feeling of an overarching storyline or serious loose ends to tie up. Its a convenient and safe way for TOEI to milk the series while leaving the option there to end it quickly if they need to.

If we get spinoffs without Goku as the main character in the coming years and they are very successful Dragon Ball could end up like Star Wars as being a franchise which could potentially last for the foreseeable future.

I think re-watching Super will definitely make more heart grow fonder for it, and much like GT, I'll pick on little tidbits of features that I may have missed out on when it originally aired which will make me appreciate the show more than I originally did.

I can't imagine watching that Goku vs Beerus fight in one sitting and not trying to lobotomize myself with a spork. Hell, I can barely rewatch Goku vs Freeza even in Kai cause it just won't fucking end, and that's a fight I think is majoritively good!
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

When you get a bad episode, you can dwell on that for a week or more, while marathoning, they just slip away to the back of your mind.
