Dragon Ball/Z/Super TV Show • Page 62

I would highly recommend reading the Super manga instead of watching the anime. The manga is paced much better and feels more coherent. Plus the anime doesn’t even cover half of super since it stops after the tournament of power

 

I think s4 and 5 of super are good. I love Trunks and I enjoyed our Trunks coaching future Trunks, Vegeta teaching him stuff, Future Trunks explaining time travel to our Trunks, any future Trunks/Bulma stuff, I like a lot of the character stuff. Goku reacting to what happened when Goku black was created.

and I enjoyed s5 a lot. Forming the team and giving focus to the team members prior to the tournament was solid. The tournament itself having each episode essentially cover 60-90 seconds was oddly a fun way to do it. Lots of great character moments for everyone.

DBZ is still supreme as far as I’m concerned, but Super isn’t all bad.

 

I started reading the OG DB and will go all the way to whatever is newest. Gonna take me a bit to get there though.

 

I’ve only read the OG DB. Never seen the anime. Such a good read. I went through all the volumes in about 2 months

 

The anime is pretty good. I was hesitant to watch it for awhile since it was older and I knew goofier and I guess I took it as immature in a negative sense. But after recently watching it, while it is immature, it’s usually in a fun or entertaining way. Obviously, not counting some of the Roshi stuff. But other than that, I found it really enjoyable. I’m glad to have watched everything that is canon at this point. Well, canon within the anime. And after I finish GT I’ll have seen all the anime, minus some of the non canon DBZ movies.

 

Also, why did they do a different VA for narrator in GT? He’s isn’t bad or anything, but he’s no Doc Harris.

 

I enjoyed the goofiness of the OG DB that was in the manga. Daima seems like a good mix of the goofiness of OG DB and the higher stakes that were in DBZ. I’d watch the OG DB if they had the dub on Hulu but last time I looked it was only in Japanese

 

The dub is on Crunchyroll. That’s what I just watched.

I like Daima overall, but since Goku is still mentally an adult, it’s not working as well to me on the goofiness as it did in the OG. Part of why the OG works for me in this aspect is that he is just an innocent kid who doesn’t know better as he only ever interacted with his grandpa and then lived in isolation for years until running into Bulma. In Daima, it just comes across as being dumb. It just hits different.

 

It took multiple attempts over the course of like 15 years for me to get through the original series anime haha. I quietly tapped out during the RR saga more than once. It just goes on for so long, especially the General Blue section. Once Tien shows up it becomes great imo. The fighting choreography in general is a lot more fun to watch than much of Z
