Just remembered why ithis is the only anime i prefer the eng dub, Gokus voice is fucking horrendous. How come everyone else have a reasonably good voice and goku (+ gohan and goten) gets the shittiest one, Can understand him sort of having that voice as a kid but as an adult its just hilariously bad.

Except... that dubbed anime is not even anime. Goku's voice is good as it is and Goten has the cutest voice imo. Btw, Goten and Trunks talking are supposed to sound annoying, in a "cute" way.

I don't know if it's just because I re-watched Dragon Ball in Japanese recently, but... I honestly prefer Goku's Japanese voice over the English one now.
It brings out a lot more of the childish side of his character, instead of the English version, where that seems entirely absent and he's just this typical tough-guy who acts silly sometimes.

Well, it was an ok first episode. Though it'd probably take a while for me to get used to Dragon Ball looking this polished.

So happy to see Dragonball again and it was a good start imo.
Felt like a little kid again while watching.

Lol @ Trunks turning into Kenshiro for a while with his "atatatata"

man the beginning felt so nostalgic with the old animation and the majin bu saga ; ;

overall a pretty good episode but the op was kinda meh i liked the ed more

Finally, Mr. Satan has redeemed himself in my eyes! I remember as a kid he was one of my most hated characters, because he took all the credit for saving the world lol. It feels like Toriyama is wrapping it up with the old characters and making room for new ones to come in the 3 new arcs. I do hope he makes a throwback every now and then - it feels so nostalgic to see Videl, Roshi, Piccolo, etc.



THOUGHT EXACTLY THIS, i hated him as a kid, it felt sad to see goku not get recognized, but now after giving him the money and all after seeing poor goku have to work (or make his son work lol) as a farmer it felt good

All the nostalgia rushing in. I think only now, that I realized that Dragonball is really back ._.

I love the sol aspects, and character interactions.

Idc what others say, I really like the Japanese voice cast, except Trunks (his voice is just grating, especially considering he supposed to be a kid)

I really don't like Beerus, so I wonder if this will change my mind.

That was great, my first time listening to the Japanese cast and I have to say that it isn't bad at all. Will still watch the dub whenever it comes out, but I'll watch Super subbed for now. Awesome start.

Some character really need to change their outfits though. Gohan looks too geeky for a Dragon Ball character!

I still don't know how I feel about this series...I mean we saw movie quality of BoG and Revival of F, so why would they throw that out the window and make a watered down TV version.

Movies are always alternate timelines from the normal DB timeline. It think it's good to keep them separate. We can also expect slight differences to how both movies will be handled in the series itself. If anything this will add more info and depth.

Because not everyone has seen the movies, the continuity would get messy and confusing (with a bunch of timeskips saying "now, movie x took place here, but you've seen it already, so let's skip a few years"), and RF will take months to be available on DVD.

This way it's simpler, it allows to flesh out the movies since they have all the time they need, and everyone can watch it without being confused or worried they may have missed something.

This first episode is what Dragon Ball was at it's core. It's an awesome way to start the series. If you aren't fond of comedy or the lighthearted approach it takes then you probably wont enjoy Super.



Do I like comedy ? Yes. But, please, tell me one moment in this episode where this is funny ?
Do I like slice of life ? Yes. But, DB is not a slice of life... At least not a good one.
In the beginning, Dragon Ball was indeed quite funny. But, then, after the arrival of Raditz, it's mainly focused on fight.
So, why I'm here ? For a good fight :)

Restoration > I agree with you, of course. We can not have the big fight in the first episode. But, if they wanted to show some action, why not make a trainning fight with Trunks/Goten ? Goten/Goku ?

Still better than a random fight with a dinosaur :) ?

In the end, there is nothing interesting enough for making this episode good.

And, do not get me started with Goku turing SS and hitting the ground... which makes only a small hole... Franckly, worst training ever...
Or Goku who wants to go train with Kaio-sama, who has a power level around
5 000 and has already taught Goku everything he knew (300 episodes ago).

The second episode seems also to be of the same kind... Hopefully, seeing Vegeta will be more fun than Goku riding a tractor !

I dislike what they did to Videl, she had such spunk and unique personality before, now she's kind of plain. Goku's voice is so childish in Japanese, might wait for the dubs. Still great though.

Great start! I'll need to get used to worthless-Gohan as opposed to his powerful state in DBZ, but it was an overall great start for the series. Also nice to see Mr Satan actually doing something nice for once. He's a good guy after all and knows who really saved earth.

And lol @ Goten being more reasonable than Goku. Way to go Goku, getting outsmarted by your youngest son.
And by the way Trunks/Goten-shenanigans is always a good way to start a season. I can't wait for Vegeta's family trip in episode 2! :D

Ep was fine, but it could be better. Hard to say at the first episode though.

Since I watched Kai recently I'm used to the japanese voices by now and I think they fit well enough. Wouldn't want to wait for it to get dubbed anyhow.

I thought it was funny when Goku let Goten drive the tractor then said " Goten. Do it right or I won't be able to concentrate on training" after Goten had drove the tractor off of a cliff.

That first episode was nice.

It played on the humor nicely, and the action was low-key but good enough.

It's got me interested enough to see what happens next, and not just because it's DBZ and I have to see it.
