A lot of his fans, don't respect the fact that he's a nerd and different from Goku. They want him to be like Goku. Love fighting and be a "badass".
Exactly the same character. Otherwise, he's "ruined" and sucks. That's stupid.
I 100% Agree with this.I don't understand this Gohan is ruined because he's not ''badass'' anymore thing.It's like most of Gohan fans only start to like him in the Cell Games.
And ironically, Gohan's Cell Games Incarnation is the only instance in the entire story where he was OOC.

OPM fanbase quickly became one of the worst ever. After they saw how OP Saitama is, they didn't hesitate of making a lot of fanarts about Saitama destroying Goku and spam the entire internet with it. And since OPM anime got such top notch treatment, they bash everything.

The best solution is just ignore them. :wink: But I loved that video though xD.

Absalon has very little to no plot and the show takes the same idea that the Saiyan saga did by having aliens coming to Earth to destroy it. The Champa is pretty original since we haven't got anything like it before. It's a multiverse tournament which is brand new and has not been done before in the series.
Anything goes to bash the new stuff. The animation is looking fine, the retellings are over, and bitching about Goku's jap voice got old. So haters are running out of ideas and have to come up with something. The point is not to make sense, but spreading hate.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

And without even knowing that Saitama is Saiyan Saga lvl at best. :lol: .I just saw some debate on reddit and just i knew that all of Saitama is limitless,serious punch as strong as big bang or whatever Saitama fans are saying in FB or Youtube are just all BS,as the interview was never found anywhere.

WOW. Congrats to Dragon Ball. :shock:

*Wishes this would translate to us getting less-rushed animation--though ep 29 actually looked pretty good imo for a non-battle ep imo--or a really nicely animated movie the way OP's movies get special treatment; even though I know that won't happen.*

Or at the very least; a legal stream to watch online the way OP gets; even if said subbed stream pops up an hour after the show airs in Japan like OP's does.
On hiatus.

They should really look at how popular dragon ball is overseas. However i still doubt that toei will make super its most priority series as one piece still beats us by a mile in domestic licensing.

Wasn't Dragon Ball always the top dog overseas, while One Piece owns Japan?! What does that graph tell us?

This is important because it's the first time we're getting 3rd quarter '16 estimates - and even if it still can't beat OP domestically, it's now number 2, surpassing Precure and with a big gap. We can certainly thank Super for that, as the movies were not enough for such a great bump.

Overseas, it probably means they're already selling the series for more markets than we've heard.

Maybe a backstory of universe 6 saiyans in planet salad would be cool, involving champa, vados, and frost....

Wasn't that the reason that Dragonball got revived because of the popularity overseas? I think Yamamuro said that in an interview somewhere.

Kuririn thinks they want to have a picnic in the great Universe but then Goku tells him the real reason and so he ends up helping them find the other members.

Hnn..? If Majin Buu is excluded from that start in the anime that'd be really odd. Wasn't he even among the profile pictures in the site? And then what would be the point of the written test?

Edit: Although thinking about it, I guess the surprising event could be just meeting Kuririn in the way, which wouldn't change anything.
