Only good thing in GT was Super 17 coming about... and the final battle with Shenglong. All the other villains and dragons were weak AF.
Wasn't really surprised to see that Jiren had a backstory and that gave him a soft side or whatever. Suppose it just leaves an opening for another Movie in the series of Super.

The main thing that bothered me about the last episode was whenever Goku went to take a breath it sounded like he was sucking through a straw at the very bottom of a slurpee/icee.
They already said the series isn't over, just taking a hiatus for an unknown amount of time. Probably not until after the movie at the end of this year. Hopefully they'll use the time until then to step it up on the writing. I mean Z wasn't by any means the best writing but super is some next level bad writing.

I know someone who is watching these new episodes. I've sat through a couple. Idk how anyone can actually be into it. It seems like it was made for adolescent kids

Lol, yeah that was kinda weird, sounded like he was congested or something, one of the down sides of having a senior age woman play his part though I guess. I think the writing is better in some cases, where they really messed up in the writing in my opinion is how they made Goku too stupid compared to Z. Fighting choreography and animation/illustration are better for sure though.

What happened in the episodes you saw? I think super only picked up in the Goku black arc, but really picked up in the tournament. The earlier stuff is mostly garbage. It seems childish at times because it's on a Sunday morning time slot so it's firstly for the original fans but also tailored a bit to suit a new, younger audience..which kinda sucks because I miss the blood and brutality in DBZ.

The animation has definitely been on point, the biggest bitch I've had recently had about the writing is Goku's power up, he managed to achieve (even if it's not mastered) a state at least three times and then perfected it on the third time when gods who have been around millions of years struggle to attain it when they're being taught how to do it directly by angels....and Goku accomplished all that within maybe 30 minutes with barely any knowledge of it lol Will admit that even though it's borderline nonsense, it was almost as hype as Gohan super saiyan 2 transformation.

Mostly nostalgia for anyone who isn't a kid watching it IMO. A lot of people, myself included, watch because dragonball was a big thing in our own childhoods and regardless of how annoyingly dumb and even contradicting the writing can be sometimes, it's still cool to get a continuation of something you loved growing up and get to relive it to some extent.

I feel like there's a couple reasons for him getting it so soon (or at least a couple ways you could make it make sense lol). Whis has talked about UI since the beginning of Super I think, he just never called it by name until recently. So he's been trying, the only reason he got it is because he's a combat savant and he had a few good zenkai boosts in the tournament. Just being Goku gave him a huge head start even before training with angels and gods. Also..I imagine GoD's are too strong to be put under that much pressure to get something like that and the need to learn it probably gets less important over time to them, Goku just accidentally got it by almost killing himself. Also remember Whis offered Goku to be the next GoD, he was probably stronger than most of them when they first took up the title, and he was a special case because he was just some mortal given the chance to train with Whis and Beerus and also on their planet which made a big difference.

Jiren’s strength is absolute power. Goku’s is indominable will. It stands within reason, however dumb, that if they both represent each facet that Goku would actually manage to master ultra instinct. I have a feeling this will/strength thing is going to be the final moments between the two, a big realization & thanks from Jiren.

Yeah the last episode title has been out a little bit now, something like "goodbye Goku, until we meet again" so I'm trying to figure out if that's Jiren speaking (because we're probably all pretty sure he's going to bring back the eliminated universes) or Beerus/Whis....or maybe even his friends, if he's gonna leave with Whis because really there's nothing they can do to make him stronger than this.

English? The dub on Toonami is in the 50s now I think. In case you didn't know since you're so far behind.

Finally tomorrow!!! Here on my city they are gonna put huge monitors on this big venue so people can come and see. obviusly for a small fee (at least here on my city). Now that i think of it, I dont think thats even legal because of copyrights but this is Mexico so i dont think they will give a fuck
Even the mayors from different city/towns are organizing this events heres the link to the news: http://entertainment.inquirer.net/265267/dragon-ball-super-finale-live-streamed-mexican-government
To be honest I do prefer watching the episode at home where i can smoke and drink comfortably
Bad thing is that i wont be able to watch the episode until sunday because i will attend a festival so i will have to make sure to not use internet until i get back bacause i want no spoilers!!.

Anime in genral is popular with a Spanish speaking audience. Im just slightly perturbed about the live action full metal alchemists movie being dubbed over in Spanish but not English. Total bull shit. I also can't stand the whole argument about sub vs dub wich is better. Sadly it seems few people realize its impossible to completely translate Japanese to another language flawlessly as Japanese employes politeness levels, then there are culture references that not even i get, thats one of the reasons titles chosen for subtitle translation back in the days of vhs came typically with liner notes. Few understand that creative licence is always taken with translations. Anime and Japanese girls are the reasons for me to be interested in learning Japanese

wtf is this, it looks like that episode of south park where they made fun of japan and chimpokemon
I'm not a fan of the series, I wish they let it die after the final dbz saga
dbz gt wasn't really bad to me, but the episodes were like 15 minutes long lol and then there'd be a next time on dragon ball segment
dragon ball super just looks kinda cheap looking, like everything is rush. The characters have all these fine lines around them because it's some stupid japanese fade to make everything look tiny and delicate even though it's a show about power levels. All the characters look like sonic characters, the crappy jokes from dragon ball are still there like others have said that its made for kids, non of the hilarity of the original db and first season of dbz (when it was still good) or the thrills from dbz, just guys with muscles saying stupid moral relative crap while blasting each other with gamma rays
it even seemed like the creator akira toriyama didn't care, from what others said it's like he's forcing himself to do this
there are other much better works by akira toriyama in book, t.v. and even video game form so going back to dragon ball to dye peoples hair different colors is not my idea of fun, fuck you guys for all watching this shit it looks like the last 800 filler episodes of naruto that you guys like to watch
