He tried to conquer the world on multiple occasions, and he got closer to succeeding at it than the Red Ribbon Army ever did.

He also tried to murder a group of meddling kids, and would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that full moon.

Does anyone watch it? Not the old dragonball fans Iguess. Pure market . Retarded transformations. Inferior comedy. Recycled story. Not cannon,definitely.

Pilaf was bad, but he was not very evil like Dabra and Babidi was. Vegeta got wish back because he give up his life trying to kill Buu. He also help save the world a few times before. He help the others defeat Freeza, he help save Goku from #19 and help Gohan defeat Cell. #17 got wish back too since he is no longer evil.

No longer? He was never evil to begin with.

Literally all he did was kill Gero, drive around, troll a few bikers and fight Piccolo.

True, but he didn't actually get the chance to do any of that so he can't be guilty of crimes he didn't commit. The whole thing seemed more like a game to him anyway and for all we know he might have spared Goku the same way he did the other Z fighters.

The story makes it pretty clear that the Androids in the present aren't as bad as the ones in the future.

I just caught myself thinking "would it be fun to bring back super 17 for super? Ahh why not?" I've lost all hope of this being an average series... There are little to no stakes or emotion or pacing to any of this. I spend each episode hoping that the next frame will somewhat resemble goku and Frieza and not look fan animated. F this series I'm done watching. I'll keep up with the information and quickly read the manga chapters but what's the point? If they don't care I don't care.

Again there are no stakes. Piccolo dies and I feel nothing and the characters feel almost nothing because they'll revive him in a second. Gohan isn't gohan anymore. He's become a coward in every sense of the word and again, the models. He doesn't look like gohan anymore. No one can do anything except goku and vegeta and nothing is interesting. I'm out.

Seeing so many fans drop this even though it's free to watch really speaks volumes about it's poor quality which is really sad cause this franchise deserved a better return then this.

Toei is a motherfucking piece of shit garbage studio that has pretty much ruined what DB Super could have been. I'm in need of the uni 6 arc, but as of now, i'm sure it's gonna SUCK. so stick to the fucking manga.

F Arc was going well enough, until it reached a massive decline in quality THE MOMENT GOKU STARTED HIS FIGHT....

Or the inevitable movie.

They did improve F's story so I'll give them credit for that but from a production point of view it's worse then BOG which is something I didn't think was possible.

I'm so relieved we're almost finally out of the reF arc. Really looking forward to the return to Beerus' planet and finding out more about Mystery Saiyan.
On hiatus.

Man now that the movie adaptions are over, if the new content isn't good then we really are screwed here.

Well the manga is just a sneak preview, not weekly chapters compare to what it was from 1984 - 1995. Still too early to say the U6 saga sucks. So far it sounds like it could be good. We have six new original characters and we have info on the Super Dragon Balls being the original Dragon Balls.

Super so far is a huge disappointment for me especially the rof arc, I'm happy this fucked up arc is almost over, from what we know through Manga of the new material I find it exciting but it's all about how well toei execute it in the Anime I hope toei doesn't disappoint us or else fuck with this series!!!!

So the ROF arc is going to end soon.But i have an advice for those who are looking to the Champa Arc.Dont expect way too much or expect the animation to be improved or else you're gonna be dissapointed again.
