Not exactly DBS related but looks like Crunchyroll is having some major problems right now. Hopefully it will be fixed by time Super should be released but I am not so sure.
Also I am seeing warnings on twitter to not visit CR’s site right now because if redirects to a malicious site. I guess they have been hacked or it’s a DNS attack!
Edit: ANN confirms that CR is redirecting to malicious site
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

That ssjg Gokû screenshot! So cool!
Pleasant surprise to see that form in 114; now I'm really looking forward to it.

All we need is Goku and Freeza holding hands to counter theirs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But what if their hands slip again, Zeno is a child after all, could get them disqualified

I swear the amount of Freeza's different face looks is equal the number of artists that are working on him. He looks totally different everytime. I miss manga doll Freeza.

HeroR wrote:"Does Toei have power to change Toriyama's draft?" Both laugh
"Basically not" They might make requests, but "you can't tell God to change"
I also don't believe in that, then why both manga and anime are not similar? Why so many differences? Why Toei had to provide Toriyama ideas for a new arc when he was dissatisfied with the series?
MajinMan wrote:What a lame interview. Almost embarrasing, in fact. Terrible questions they know they won't get answers for.
My thoughts exactly. This was nothing but a waste of time. I mean why not ask the logic between Goku having done sex at least twice and never kissed his wife who never bothered about it?
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.
So I've just woken up (I slept in ) and have gone through the last ten pages of this thread to see if I've missed anything. And apparently what I've gathered in the last ten pages of posts is that mistranslation and misinformation are still major problems within this fandom.

Akira Toriyama wrote:My policy is to try and forget things once they’re over. Since if I don’t discard the old and focus on what’s new, I’ll overload my brain capacity. I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

Kunzait_83 wrote:And if you're upset because all this new material completely invalidates the tabletop RPG rulebook-sized statistical system and flowchart for the characters' "canonical Power Levels" that you'd been working on painstakingly for the last bunch of years now... well I don't think there's a kind, non-blunt way of saying this, but that's 100% entirely your own misguided fault for buying so deeply into all this nonsensical garbage in the first place. And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

God Goku looks pretty good there, I never really liked how skinny he looked but his face looks good here.

Well, when you answer every question with draft and not give a yes or no answer to well ANYTHING. People question you if you actually know a thing about the show you are directing and producing. without his
Toyotaro doesn't do this.
I can understand this but at the same time...to quote what I got in my head, "A person's truth is so simple, that most ignore it to concentrate on what they think are deeper truths." Not saying you are ignoring anything but speaking generally it could be as simple as that sometimes. I have no reason to doubt him, I'm not the one that receives anything from Toriyama and if I did I wish it was that handjob.
No, i would believe all of this if not for 3 things.
1. Toriyama is a lazy man. There is no way he is doing THIS much before behind the scenes.
2. We have a manga based off said draft. The paths are mostly very different. Heck Gohan isnt even in the manga but the anime he goes back and forth. They are saying they can only make suggestions and can't change anything without his permission.
3. This interview makes it seem like Toei has virtually no power over anything in the story besides suggestions and requests but Toyo has never once hinted he was tied down like that. This implies that toyo has more freedom than toei, which is baffling to say the least.
Now, i could be wrong, and tori has all the power then my new question is what is in the draft and how do we know who came up with what so we can praise or blame?
Gohan was added to Toei's stuff, but to the main story, Gohan had no role until this arc. Like Gohan wasn't one of the main cast of the Future Trunks Saga and Toei wrote the reason why. Also "Toriyama is a lazy man. There is no way he is doing THIS much before behind the scenes" is all assumption since we know he can have a very active role behind the scenes by just looking at the Battle of Gods movie.
Overall, nothing goes against the director's word other than fan bias.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I really hope we get to see Kafla stomp the shit out of Frieza and but him back in his place.
Plz freeza ain't stupid he'll attack when the times right
The end of the Namek Saga and Resurrection 'F' would like a word with you. Freeza, despite his cleverness, can be very stupid.
Yet he hasn't act like an idiot since the he came back this arc
He haven't been made to look fool like in F and even then he had a plan if he couldn't beat goku and blew up the the earth
The way he been portrayed nobody but jiren taking him out
