a5c7b9f00b 6 months after the defeat of Majin Buu, The mighty Saiyan Son Goku continues his quest on becoming stronger. With Majin Buu defeated half-a-year prior, peace returns to Earth, where Son Goku (now a radish farmer) and his friends now live peaceful lives. However, a new threat appears in the form of Beerus, the God of Destruction. Considered the most terrifying being in the entire universe, Beerus is eager to fight the legendary warrior seen in a prophecy foretold decades ago known as the Super Saiyan God. The series retells the events from the two Dragon Ball Z films, Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' before proceeding to an original story about the exploration of alternate universes. Akira Toriyama had big opportunity to re-introduce Dragonball to a new generation. Dragonball Z pretty revolutionized all manga and was the inspiration for many more.<br/><br/>Dragonball Z had a big advantage over all others anime, because it was already popular and fans have been craving for new series for nearly 20 years. In the meantime, other popular anime's rose to popularity which was influenced by Dragonball.<br/><br/>Akira Toriyama failed to keep up and take inspiration from other popular anime's.<br/><br/>The current series are lifeless, badly drawn, filler full, lack of real action, lack of a robust story line, no character development.<br/><br/>Akira could have easily introduced new characters and even retired some background characters like Tien, Yamcha, Pilaf etc…<br/><br/>I find these series a big disappointment, the god's of destruction are a complete joke. Even sillier was Akira's decision to include movie plots into the anime. Think about this…Frieza's reason why he became so strong is because he had never trained in his life, when he did he became a lot stronger. I mean really? They could not have come up with something more creative?<br/><br/>They turned Vegeta into a big wuss. They are recycling story lines and some of the characters are redicilous (king of the Galacy is a green octopus with a crown)<br/><br/>I'm still going to watch in hope that it improves but I doubt it. I understand DB has always had comedy in it but this one is too much.<br/><br/>Underwhelmed and disappointing. An insult to the Dragon Ball franchise, characters, and fans. Absolute garbage. Sit back kids, because this is review is going to be one hell of a horrible ride.<br/><br/>IGNORE THE PEOPLE RATING IT HIGHER THAN 5 Stars. They are plants, bandwagoners and door mat fans. <br/><br/>From the beginning it's a retelling of the crappy movies in WORSE animation.<br/><br/>Alrighty, the movies alone deserve 1 star, so I'll skim why.<br/><br/>Beerus the new character is nothing but a bully and possibly Toriyama's self insert. He proceeds to push the other characters around with nothing they can do since he's so much stronger than them which is pretty contradictory in and of itself.<br/><br/>Vegeta proceeds to humiliate himself over and over for the sake of saving their asses and later to get stronger. Dancing, singing, and cleaning up Lord Beerus' bed spreads. This is supposed to be "funny" but it gets old fast. And I don't even like Vegeta.<br/><br/>Goku seems to have gotten dumber since Z. Somehow he's dopey enough to let his guard down 10 feet away from Golden Freiza because….Super. He doesn't jump at the opportunity to let Gohan join them or Goten.<br/><br/>Chi-chi's nagging and domineering personality apparently is even worse. Even a grown man can't tell her to back off and let him train. (Talking about Gohan BTW.) Why? Plot convenience.<br/><br/>Gohan gets written out of the series because Toriyama doesn't want him outshining his most marketable characters. (Goku and Vegeta). So that's a mess in and of itself. He's also skinnier than would make sense. Just to add insult to injury. <br/><br/>Frieza only has to train for 4 months to be stronger than Majin Buu. Wtf kind of writing is that? The only people defending this abomination is the frat boys who can't write worth a damn their selves, and so, can't recognize good writing from bad. Or the quote unquote "true fans" that eat anything up without question.<br/><br/>Yes, DBZ has never been all that great with it's writing, but the amount of corner cutting and plot convenience in Super is downright shameful.<br/><br/>The Time Chamber is fixed again, so now the characters can just spam it.<br/><br/>Even later in the U6 tournament Arc there is no sense of Tension, Danger, Anxiety, Suspense, or excitement. You know, ALL THE THINGS THAT MADE Z AWESOME! Instead we have the main character bending over for Beerus to save their asses. Crappy unfunny moments, the fail Pilaf Gang who haven't been funny since the 80s, and weak 5th Grader fan fiction plot lines. Screw this. Piccolo gets no respect, Roshi is apparently Cell tier now, and the others continue to just stand around. Its a joke and a mess.<br/><br/>Skip it. Trust me. (Note the Date on this Review) the series could get better but right now, it's garbage. It's hard to believe this is the same series where Buu genocide's the humans, Cell absorbed a man, Frieza ripped Nails arm off, etc.<br/><br/>It's a childish, cream puff, dainty, plot shield mess.
