Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

On the contrary. Look at how strong Freeza got in just 4 months; Goku sure looked at it. Now imagine how strong Uub could get in his life.
Uub is a mere human though unlike Freeza. How fast does the strength of a human really grow?

Already happened for me; there was (quiet because there's other people in the house) squeeing when ssjg Gokû surprise-flashed on-screen. I am so happy I get to see him again. TuT

Everyone looks great in this series; it just looks really tight in design and I'm so so excited for next week (Ahh Vegeta family trip episode!!! :mrgreen: ).

Don't be counting on it. The rating will most likely give a figure of how many people watched it on TV in Japan: I doubt that they have a way to take into account all of us who have watched it through streams and the like.

That said, maybe they have a way to estimate it: a similar case regarding ratings helped a Spanish TV series overcome a possible cancellation.

I almost died. It's already my pictures. Such an amazing opening. I'll rank it top 3. It was good but the song kinda sucked.

Of course, I'm not saying he's weak or anything. But why would goku leave his family and waste his time training Uub while he could be training himself.

Neilsen box is used in japan I believe, there's no way of knowing who streamed it, so the japanese who watched with a nielsen box will be the only ones counted.

By the way a neilsen box is how you get said ratings just so you know.

Agreed, the opening song is pretty crap and really lacking in power, charm and energy. The ending wasn't good either and the next episode preview.. let's not talk about that.
That's the only negative about this series so far.

Imagine if Goten had gone SSJ2 in that opening :P

(Then again not even Goku went SSJ2 so the series probably continues the trend of pretending that this form doesn't exist)

The opening was great! :D
  • Goku goes SSJ3 and SSJG!
  • Vegeta and Trunks moment!!
  • Goten's new outfit is cool, better than the orininal
  • Jaco!!!
Not my favorite opening but it did it's job well. The song itself isn't that bad.

Training with a strong partner is way more effective than training by yourself. Not to mention more fun.

I definitely feel you on this and it's not the best quality, but :
Bonus:
I can't get over the fact that I just watched a new episode of Dragon Ball as it was released. What a time to be alive.

Don't forget Lady Whis and Champa making an appearance along with Beerus and Whis. The OP was fantastic. :thumbup:

So the opening seems to vaguely cover BoG and F, I guess we'll get a new opening when we jump to universe 6.
Love the opening btw.

I really liked the opening as well. I feel like it foreshadows future events pretty well, but the main focus is definitely on Battle of Gods. So I hope we get updated animation for every arc, at least in a similar manner to Kai where some of the scenes were replaced with content more relevant to what was currently going on.
