Altho, I am a bit fatigued from the franchise. The original manga and DB/Z adaptation are the best, altho more and more slog to watch through with how it is paced nowadays and seeing it for countless times. Reading and re-reading the original manga is still awesome.
Super kinda extended the "golden Z era", even tho not perfect, that felt like being cut short with GT in my childhood perception.
Super Hero movie was fun... but with Daima, shit got into the fan and I've started to be overwhelmed by extra content, that is not on par with the OG show and not that interesting. I was probably overhyped for Daima, which didn't help... I went into SW Skeleton Crew with zero expectations and was actually satisfied with what it was.
Feels like all the cool and signature stuff was done and now the franchuise is just recycling itself, with the craziness of DB Heroes being actually one of the most interesting things to happen to the franchise besides Super continuation in manga with extra non-adapted stories.
But on the anime front, I feel like I am done
Not playing it safe, changing story beats, era and the least they can do, radically change design from the same clothing they wear from second half of Z in pretty much everything might help. In this regard, I view GT looking back more favorably then I did in comparison to just DB and Z, just for it being completely it's own thing design-wise, happening after the epilogue and still, having the killer ending to the series as it kinda robbed Z of it in comparison with the manga.
While it might break the franchise in a way that the horrid Saint Seiya Omega spin-off did, I grew tired from the modern stacking up the sameness all the time and not coming with anything new... be it techniques or character growth. Not to mention recycling transformations by palette swaps and constant callbacks.
Not sure if it's a generational thing, but the Japanese "creative" side of sticking to traditional, not changing status quo and thinking that fans will go oomph for a SSJ4 just because it is a SSJ4 from GT and we "didn't see it coming outside of GT, wow!" gets kinda old and tiresome.
Not looking much forward to see Freeza again in the future and getting Black, Platinum and Purple forms as suprise power ups.
For me, the show ended with the original story and I am here for the bonuses and some speculation fun in the fandom, but with all the clichés and low effort, I will happily wait for the day and hopefully won't die before that happens, that I might see something new in the franchise that will genuinely surprise me.
That the master behind the work left us doesn't help
But I will stay optimistic.They can definitely still produce great games tho
