Ahhhh, Dragon Ball Super, the canon version of some weird fanfiction called Dragon Ball AF. Let's start!

*Movie recaps: you can't start an anime with just a recap of the first two (bad) movies. It's feels more like filler and just a waste of time. The episodes are excessively long and the terrible animation is over the top. EXAMPLE? Remember episode 5? The story is bad just like that movies. Retcons, asspulls, resurrections, lazy designs of 'new' transformations. 1/10

*Super Tournament Arc: the reason of this Tournament makes no sense in the first place. Champa can gather the Super Dragon Balls without discuss with Bills. I know that fights are important here but at least give me a decent reason of why they are fighting! The worst part is that they are a disaster (asspulls, zero strategy). Piccolo is defeated by Frost because he was cheating, for that, he can't return. Goku is defeated for the same reason yet he can return!? Because is the MC, of course! The arc is just Vegeta and Goku vs Universe 6. The other characters are just wasted potential. Majin Boo can't enter because he failed to some written test? LMAO 2/10

*Future Trunks Arc: they tried to give us a different villain there but as the arc proceeds it becomes your sadist and standart villain. Zamatsu is highly hypocritical, he wants to kill all the mortals believing them to be the source of all evil. Yes, i got it! But you can do that with Super Dragon Ball that you had! Why do you slowly kill everybody!? The series tries (and fail) to sympathise with him but he is just a sadist! Almost all the scenes are bad: Trunks being just a Gary Stu (just look the ending of the battle!), repetive (so many time travels are just ridiculous!), asspulls, Goku Black have some unexplained and forced new transformation (also the desing is very lazy), Goku being more idiot than ever and they tried to establish a weird and nonsense romance between Future Mai and Future Trunks LOL?! 2/10 (the only interesting scene was Future Zeno erasing all the universes).

*Tournament of Power Arc (or the Tournament of Asspulls Arc): the most 'hyped' tournament! I know that Goku loves fighting but what he do is something antithetical here, everybody that loses this tournament will be erased by Zeno. Despite that, Goku doesn't care and just want to fight strong guys. This arc consists on two factors: no tension or forced tension. The first were in the first episodes of the arc and in the middle. It was supposed that everybody IN THE UNIVERSE will be killed if they lose yet many of them take the issue far too lightly. The second is the overdramatic episodes, many are scared that universe 7 will be erased! Nobody remeber the ending of Z? They are alive! There are some interesting subplots that were forgotten like Frieza plan in the tournament (nothing happens in the end). The fights are slightly better but the asspulls are still over the place again. The most clear example was Kefla (Caulifla and Kale fusion), she exists just to be owerpower and nothing more. And now, Jiren, is personality is all over the place. First, he is a calm guy that thinks before acting. Suddenly, after some generic and tragic flashback, he goes full fledged yandere for no reason! There is no consistency in anyway. Of course, the ending is just everybody reviving. I don't dislike so much this arc like the others, 17 and 18 were cool and very few fights scenes are decent. 3/10

The lack of blood, bad animation, retcons that ruined Z, the characters are just parodies of themselves, asspulls. Ehh, this series makes me ashamed to like Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. It hurts that a decent franchise was ruined just for the sake of money.
