4. Naruto Shippuden (7.7/10)

Note: I left out animes like Pokemon and whatnot. I was gonna put Avatar, but I then remembered it was always an American creation first. Also left out Jojo(2012) since I am only in the beginning, but so far I am enjoying it.

 

 

Dragon Ball Super may be one of the worst animes of all time. Currently, it is the most painful show I have ever seen. People may bash other shows and call them the worst, but they don't match DBS.

Naruto and Naruto Shippuden had issues. Specifically, they had Sasuke's plot armour, the weird plot holes, terrible pacing at the end, questionable ending, lack of development in many female characters, and inconsistent animation in the beginning of Shippuden. However, the show still had a lot of good to it. Excluding the fillers (which I never look at), Naruto was still good. Was it legendary and perfect? No, but the morals, character development, and world structure was still enough to make it very solid. In all honesty, if the great Ninja War arc never existed or took place differently, Shippuden would easily be a 9/10 for me. I just feel as though Kishimoto made some mistakes at the end, but it was acceptable.

Sword Art Online is bad, but I honestly don't mind. As terrible as it is, I realize that everything has potential. Unfortunately, SAO's creator simply took too many terrible turns to make it a disappointment. Death Parade took some heavy hits at the end, but I still enjoyed it.

 

Now, what separates DBS from everything? Well, it tarnishes Dragon Ball's name and makes the most disgusting version of a Dragon Ball show I have ever seen. I thought GT was terrible, but this took the cake. The plot feels as though they went to a shitty Goku fanpage and took everything Xx_Gokuballs69_xX said on his 4chan page. I mean, come on - Black Goku, several universes, angels coming out of nowhere, Vegeta somehow turning into a god, Trunks turning into a crybaby, Gohan becoming a professor...What the hell is this?

 

Super is an embarassment to everything Dragon Ball was. Don't get me wrong, but shows had issues (I did read the original though - never watched). At the same time however, they aren't anywhere near Super's issues.

 

1) Characters 

Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, Gohan, and so many more simply turned into background noise as Goku and vegeta go Super Sand Lesbian or whatever the hell the next form is called. Why is it that these characters with thought put into them were now just thrown away? Even with the current arc, you don't feel the same intesity or pressure from the older series' fights. 

 

2) Ruined characters

Vegeta is a bitch, Goku is a complete dumbass, Trunks is an emotional 30 year old who looks 12 and probably shops at hot topic, Bulma is literally nothing but Ms.Einstein, Trunks and Goku Jr. both look exactly the same...

What I fail to understand is why the author of Dragon Ball believed these changes were necessary. We get that Goku is dumb, but it actually frustrates me seeing him turn into a useless idiot who can only punch things. 

vegeta changing character suddenly is also annoying. In fact, they felt the need to change so much to the point where it doesn't even feel as though it's them. Frieza is still as despicable as ever; why couldn't everyone else not be ruined?

 

3) Terrible pacing

Currently, things either take fifty thousand years or two seconds of explosions. Was Dragon Ball or Z the best at pacing? No, but they still made it interesting beyond explosions and boring plots. What's the point of trying to even build up if it merely involves Goku fighting X, powering up to Blue, and then needing Y to completely finish him/her off? 

 

4) Abhorrent plot

Take out any part of DBS right now and it won't change anything (except Beerus arriving). Frieza revived? Zamasu and Future Trunks? Universe 6 vs 7? Besides the introduction of characters, you can take these parts out without anything happening. It's irritating, especially since in the OG and Z we saw the arcs have impact on the rest of the story. 

To take it further, the plot is never good. In Naruto, we saw the Akatsuki and Orochimaru bring a lot of interesting things to the show. In My Hero Academia, we see the villains trying to attempt something strange. Black Butler saw the cult which wanted to purify everything. 

DBS fails to bring this excitement or twist. Frieza returning was an absolute disappointment, Beerus' revival was hot garbage (every episode was him going to destroy the earth, stopping because Jimmy brought cupcakes, and then Beerus being a baby because his food was stolen and threatening to destroy the earth - repeat the cycle for the first 15 episodes), Zamasu collapsed quickly, Future Trunks was annoying and had terrible development, Uni's 6v7 was decent, and the current arc is nothing short of disappointment. We knew how Naruto would end, but the way it happened was different than what a lot of people expected. No one believed it would ever evolve past orochimaru until we thought the Akatsuki would be the largest threat. 

 

5) Other stuff

The music? The same song or two played throughout every episode. The intros were both good, but the endings were terrible. However, that doesn't matter. What matters is the soundtrack, and it's as bland as soda from McDonald's. I don't want to hear the same mediocre strings song that brings no emotion whatsoever. I mean, come on. Do you really expect people to feel anything when you're stuck with dull plotlines and a piece you've had to hear literally every episode? 

Animation

Dragon ball and Z never had the best animation, but they had a style. It gave a personality to the show which Super lacks. Flashy colours and twenty forms of super saiyan will never impress me. To make it worse, this results in an inconsistent animation. I'd happily take Z's animation if it at least breathes some sort of soul into this miserable piece of creation.

 

Conclusion:

I'd easily consider this the worst anime I've ever seen and one of the worst ever. Anyone on websites like myanimelist who have the audacity to give it anything above a 7 are ignoring the most irritable mistakes I have ever seen. This show isn't laughably bad - it's terrible to the point where I actually feel miserable watching it.

Imagine Naruto with only the fillers, and the fillers' plot were taken from a fan website. That is Dragon Ball Super for you.

 

Final Score: 1.5/10
