Opening song was... plain and simple... I wish it more rock type with some fighting scenes. Dragon Ball Kai has great opening.

Decent first episode, still, listening to the voices, I'd rather wait for the dub.

6/10 and it got the extra point for nostalgia.

Lol a Snake should not have been anything but one shotted by Trunks and Goten. That was pretty silly.

It's really a shame they're redoing Beerus and Frieza
Looks like we'll be getting some Dragon Ball SOL until Beerus.

Wow the nostalgia hit me too hard. First anime i watched before I even knew what anime was. I remember i used to watch it with my dad on the weekends. Nothing amazing happened but the pacing was good. I'm so hyped for this. Not because I'm expecting greatness but because of the love I have for the series.

The slight changes from the manga were not bad imo.

And the journey begins!

Episode was good, the Goten & trunks scene was pretty cute.
I loved when Mr. Satan gives Goku the money, and Roshi rushes over and mentions buying porn with it, ahahaha! XD

I was a little disappointed at the opening and closing themes, even though the visuals for them were nice.

I mean, comparing this theme with "Makafushigi Adventure" or "Cha La Head Cha La", it's just embarrassing...
If they weren't going to invite Hironobu-san or Takahashi-san back, then they should have gotten a vocalist who could sufficiently fill their shoes, not some lame artist like Kazuya Yoshii or some lame pop group like Good Morning America.

Aside from the lackluster opening & closing, the soundtrack has been good thus far. I like it better than the re-done soundtrack they used in Kai, to be honest.

Really excited for the next episode. It's a little odd that Beerus seems to be the main villain, though... considering his role in "Kami to Kami"
I wonder if this will be some kind of alternate timeline from the film, or if this simply takes place before that film. I guess we'll have to wait & see...

I like Mr. Satan here, I mean he gave the prize to Goku. Goku's family definitely deserved it, being poor and all, despite what they've done to the planet. At least we can say that they are now financially stable, no longer worrying about where to get money for their needs in their lifetime.

Looking forward for the episode 2! (Vegeta)

This is what I expected from Toriyama; Dragon Ball is still growing strong.

I am wondering why people have to compare the DB Super manga to the anime? They aren't even that far apart in the dates.

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.

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.

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
