Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Oh great, Demon Realm once again...
So SO bored of demon realm bastards.
At least it's Demigra this time. I'm glad because he never had a proper animated fight to date.
I could easily skip an animate Demigra fight for something refreshing. I like the ideas that came from the DDR such as Dark Broly, Dark Masked King Vegeta, etc, but I think it's flogging a dead demon horse.
To be honest, I actually hoped to see more development of Yamcha's new potential relationship, heck, I actually hope it can become canon in some way, even if I know that this product is as separate from the main franchise as it can be
This episode ended up being pretty interesting. Aeos seems very calculated and actually knows what she is doing, I like it. It's been a long time since we had a real main female villain. I also really like Aeos' new transformation. I saw that some people didn't specially enjoy the colors, but I think it looks pretty.
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.
- Though I always liked the alternate (black) color of Omega Shenron in most DBZ games, didn't dig much his design here as one of Demigra demons or such...
- Gogeta entrance was awesome, also loved the references to their previous battle in GT.
- Aios having to join forces with Goku to fight Demigra is classic DB, but where did Gogeta go?
- So we see the other demons are a chick... and of course, Broly (again) lol

I agree, I find this new “demon” Omega shenron design a little busy and weird looking. I just went back to compare how he looked when Goku black summoned him from a scroll and that one kept the original design, which I prefer.

Either way I guess he won’t be showing up again
I really hope so lol
Also no date yet for Episode 47, right?
Not yet I don’t think—I’ve been checking by search and Twitter every now and then to no avail.
I just rewatched the last arc in its entirety and…. Man, I hope this next one is better. I found the space-time tournament pretty lame in its execution.
I'm expecting a new episode this very February, because the manga just caught up and the anime has to be one step ahead.
Let's see if my theory holds true
On a random note, SDBH introduced probably my favorite characterization trait of Goku in any depiction: that upon discovering there’s an alternate version of himself with different powers, one of his life goals is now to have the ultimate uninterrupted sparring match with him. It’s so Goku
Got my question answered faster than I thought!
New episode is on the 12th, which is in just 4 days.
