Animation Dragonball HQ - Part 1

[The Big G]

 

[Sithborg]

Puny Goku.

 

[The Big G]

Best part of the episode (dont care if i get a warning)

 

[Nathan]

And again I wsh they would have never introduced Super Saiyan God. Right now it feels like it's on par with Super Saiyan 3.

Update on Standings courtesy of my pal ShadowRaikou
Now according to him he didn't think the Yardrat got Eliminated by Caulifla, while im pretty sure he was. We'll find out in the next week or so.

The manga is handling it way better.

 

[The Big G]

The manga has its moments IMO but the anime is overall better

 

[Nathan]

The Manga has way less ass pulls, and the plot seems to be thought out a lot more. Definitely preferred the Zamasu Arc in the Manga, over the nonsense we got in the Anime. Looking forward to see what Toyotaro will do with the Tournament of Power arc. Right now it's pretty lackluster in the Anime.

Goku using Hakai and Trunks pulling healing powers out his ass were pretty big ass pulls IMO.

Toyotaro has his moments...but I think he went a bit too of the rails with the manga on that.

It is interesting to see how Toei and Toyotaro use Toriyama's "outlines" for the arcs. Leads to some very interesting directions.

Which are still more plausible than Trunks getting a power boost out of nowhere, putting him above Super Saiyan Blue, having him be able to take on Black and Zamasu at the same time, using some sorta Genkidama attack without even knowing what it was, or learning the Mafuba from watching a video on a phone.

The Genkidama sword was legit and Godtube attack tutorials are the thing of the future...get with the times


Regardless i'll take the anime over the manga.

 

[Nathan]

I hope the Manga will change nonsense like Kale tanking Super Saiyan Blue. Overall I hope Toyotaro comes up with better scenarios for characters gaining power boosts. And I really want him to trim the fat. I think at the very least 80% of the combatants are trash. Even if let's say most are on SSJ3 level, fighters like Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Hit, Toppo, Jiren, Freezer, 17 and maybe others I don't know, should be able to blitz the majority of the fighters out of the ring.

Seriously, most fighters should be treated like Nappa, Recoome and Burter we're in the past. Downed in one shot. It's one of the reasons I wasn't looking forward to the tournament of power. Because the power gap between Goku and characters like the Trio of Danger is so massive, he actually shouldn't be in any sort of danger. Look in the past how characters were treated, when faced with an overwhelming opponent. Most fighters shouldn't even make Goku flinch. Out of the 80 combatants, only a handful of fighters are actually top tier.

By now at least half of the universes should have probably been eliminated. But of course that wouldn't be very exciting. So instead we have the characters just ****ing around, taking their time, barely use team work at all, and have characters like Goku constantly hold back, even though THE GODDAMN UNIVERSE IS AT STAKE. The stakes felt much higher when Cell was threatening to destroy earth. And Goku was actually concerned when Gohan was the one not wanting to finish Cell off immediately.

Spoiler

[The Big G]

Trying to argue about the plausibility of Dragon Ball is a fruitless endeavor. It's a lost cause.

Pretty much. Hence while I just roll with the punches and enjoy the show.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah if you are a fan of Dragon Ball, you pretty much just have to roll with it.

That being said, I think the writing in general has gotten a lot better with Super, even with moments like Goku not understanding kissing.

SONY just acquired Funimation.

Lol not understanding kissing? From a guy with two kids? Maybe Saiyans mate differently lol well I guess you don't need to kiss to have kids.

 

[Nathan]

I hate that Dragonball is the one show, where I have to turn my brain off almost completely. There are a bunch of silly anime, but almost every single one of them is more coherent, better paced and written than Super. I can't believe that Dragonball is one of the most successful Anime, with a gigantic fan base, yet Toei barely puts any effort into the show. I am so glad we have at least Toyotaro, who puts some effort into the Manga version of Super.

 

[Lobo]

You think Goku, Gohan, or Vegeta will get their tails back in Super?

 

[The Big G]

Probably not.

Tails have pretty much been dead since the Saiyan Saga...minus their minor return in GT

 

[Nathan]

Wow, an Episode I actually thoroughly enjoyed. 17's got his **** together.

 

[The Big G]

It was a fun deconstruction of the magical girl genre. I enjoyed myself.


Oddly enough a lot of people didn't like it...

 

[Nathan]

I just really enjoyed that 17 wasn't dicking around this Episode. Makes me wish even more that Trunks was still around. They'd be an awesome no nonsense tag team, who just keep ringing fighters out.
