Do you remember the title of the video? Because it’s deleted.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

The insert song. The Shida goodness. Tate sprinkling in his magic. Takahashi getting his time to shine. The phenomenal direction. The excellent music.
I'm... lost for words. This double episode/special not only lived up the hyped, but in some parts surpassed it.
A fucking plus Super.

Good lord. That was my dream episode. I seriously did not expect Naoki Tate to be the one who toppled every other animator on the episode. Like, holy crap, Takahashi's scene was fantastic, and Shida's, though limited, had spectacular art, but Tate just blew everything out of the water. I'm so happy.
I think in terms of direction, it was a little all over the place. The first half of 109 was really strong, while the second half suffered, and leaked into 110. That second half of 110 though was just unreal. Really strong work all around.
Cannot wait to break this thing down. It's gonna be an absolute blast. So many amazing people here.
Never thought I would ever say this, but Tate was amazing in this episode, I really really enjoyed his work. I think his parts were better than the rest.
Regardless everything was well animated with a couple of wow moments, this special shits on episode 95 and 66.
Also I hope that annoying thug fucking bitch Ribriane dies brutally. (I know swearing isn't allowed but forgive me this time I had to). I loved every second of this special (other than you know who)
NEP looks also very impressive in terms of animation, nice character movements. Hit is doing better than I thought.
Yeah Tate was great (if he really was the one that handled the fight straight after Goku transformed) even his art was snappy, there were so many moments that all I'm sure of was Tate's and Shida's, which one was my boy Yuya's cut? I NEED TO KNOW!
I'm shocked Yamamuro no showed for an episode like this. Perhaps they're saving him for the finale of the entire arc where he can do a solo job.
