Man I forgot how awful #27 was. Awfully animated and the music killed Vegeta's moment. Transformation was good though only saving grace, other than that bleugh.

Thankfully the worst of Super is behind us!

I honestly think Episode 27 is handled the ending the of Resurrection F way better than the movie did.

I disagree the animation and atrocious art ruin everything and in the episode everything happens so abruptly, there is no build up to Freeza blowing the Earth it just happens like that and it ends up making Vegeta more of a fool here than the movie.

I just can't see the point of re-wathcing this arc ever again when the movie exists and looks consistent and is only 90 mins.

[Zenkai]

Wait. I didn't even notice that Chris Ayres wasn't Frieza in this episode. Must have been a good impersonation for me to miss it.

Was Mills Frieza in the whole episode, or just part of it? I'll have to go back and rewatch the episode....

[Dbzfan94]

I could have sworn that was Ayres as Freeza. If not then damn that's an awesome impression

[Hit!!]

Nahh, that HAD to be Chris Ayres.. Its hard to believe someone can do such an accurate impression!!

[superfan2024]

Once again the credits listed Frieza as both Chris Ayers and Daman Mills. I wonder what Mills did.

I do think the majority of the episode was bad, but the ending beats the movie's for the sole reason that it doesn't just end abruptly right after the climax. We actually see them explain the whole thing to Vegeta, as well as some much needed aftermath.

That said, I also don't see myself watching the arc a third time. The movie, for all its faults, is at least good-looking and (mostly) well-paced.

It was Chris Ayres for the whole episode. If Mills was in it he must of done a tiny grunt or something not noticeable.

[GreatSaiyaJeff]

Man after rewatching these episodes dubbed, the animation thankfully starts getting better in the next episode.

Everything sounded like Ayers to me. I don't remember hearing anything from Mills unless he is that good at doing an impersonation.

I'm the opposite. I enjoyed the retelling of Resurrection 'F' and think the story is far superior to the movie. Crappy animation aside which was only really ugly for the Goku and Freeze fight, I don't mind watching the Resurrection 'F' Saga since I like what they did overall with the plot and expanding the movie. My only gripes (animation aside) is Ginyu and Tagoma getting such short scene time and I wished the Z-Fighters fought longer.

The dub added to it, especially Vegeta lampshaded that he's the butt monkey.

[shadowmaria]

I think that the content covered in Battle of Gods was better in the film stupid ki dragons, but the anime was a far superior rendition of Resurrection 'F'

I think Battle of Gods Saga was fine too, but was two to three episodes too long. I greatly prefer the Super's version of the Goku vs. Beerus fight. The movie version was lackluster until Goku lost Super Saiyan God.

Here's something I've had just in general with this wording. They're both anime, so how come some people don't say "show" when they mean to say that?

I think the RoF arc gets more hate than it deserves. If they go back and fix the Goku vs Frieza fight's art/animation in a few spots it wouldn't be bad at all. The filler episodes before Frieza was revived were pretty good, ep 19 and 20 were exactly like the movie, ep 21 was ok but the movie did the Frieza soldier fight better, ep 22 was good and I really liked the Gohan torture scene and the Piccolo sacrifice, ep 23 was kind of dragged out but I liked Frieza's transformation, the Goku vs Frieza fight was definitely better in the movie, but the Super version had better and more dialog (I liked the god monkey part), and ep 27 was pretty much the ending of the movie, which I have about equal since the movie looked better but Super had an extended beat down and I really liked how it showed everyone as the planet blew up.

In a perfect would, Resurrection 'F' would be a combination of the movie and the retelling. Namely, the movie's animation and fight sequences combined with the story of the retelling with the Tagoma and Ginyu stuff being properly expanded.

There is always the Super cut, which should hopefully now have the dub track as an option.

Didn't want to make a thread just dedicated to this so I figured I'd post it here. This is pretty neat to us Aussie (and possibly New Zealand) fans of Dragon Ball. JB Hi-Fi have this exclusive version of the Part 1 release of Dragon Ball Super. It looks like it has a slip cover with artwork that's not on the standard release. I'll probably be getting this copy rather than what's being shown off on Madman's website.

Did the U.S. release have something similar to this?

[Baggie_Saiyan]

The bridging episodes are great and can be watched prior to the movie no problem and they're technically classed under the BoG arc... But anyway for me narrative doesn't matter unless the animation, art etc is backing it up. I'll buy part two to support both sets of voice actors especially for Ayres but can't see myself ever watching past the bridging episodes.

But I'm glad there are people who did like/enjoy the arc and more power to you!
