I only watch DBS because I loved the old series. To be honest, I don't think many people would stick to it if it wasn't Dragon Ball, not would they be so complacent, because the new series has so many flaws it's not even funny.

In regards to the plot, I actually like the Black Goku arc a lot. My problem with that arc is some very odd or illogical things. For example, Trunks shrinking back to his early Android saga look, The Mai-Trunks pairing which came out of nowhere (it's cute, but it doesn't make any sense how they got together in 2 timelines), the ending which was utterly terrible. Trunks' Rage form also made absolutely no sense and I hate how just getting angry gives you God level power, and the Potara retcon was really bad (Why not just use the Potara over and over again now? It used to have a decent limit).

As a whole though, the arc felt like good fanservice combined with a new appraoch. Future Trunks came back like we wanted, Goku became a villain (sorta), Fusion was used by an enemy, and the villain was rather smart and planning for once. Scenes like Black Goku killing Goku's family were absolutely chilling.

In terms of the characters, yeah they felt off from the start. Goku was always goofy, but he was intelligent as well. In this series, he's an absolute moron and is causing the destruction of entire universes. Vegeta used to be prideful, sometimes arrogantly so, and this held him back in some ways but empowered him in others. Now he really does feel like Goku's sidekick and the "always 1 step behind" thing is exaggerated, and he was so quick to act wimpy in many situations.

The current arc is showing a lot more terrible trends. Apparently Super Saiyan is a cakewalk now, with new characters with no experience whatsoever achieving Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan 2 and beyond with ease, one of those characters kicked Super Saiyan Blue Goku's ass with ease.

It's some 10 year Olds having gay sex. Don't get me wrong, the lol or Shota or gay hentais don't really trigger me but its just a bit...much to constantly be seeing that as I scroll past threads. To anybody oblivious to it, it's probably just an unfunny pun

Yea I dont need that kind of science in my life.

nahhhh NOOOOOO NOPE

you're crazy

I like the series and that is all that matters to me. Your opinion is your opinion. I really do like one piece though. So I will agree with you on that.

I like it for what it is though I wouldn't argue is great or anything like that

I'm a huge Dragonball fan, watched everything, and yeah, GT wasn't terrible but was obviously lacking from the original and Z

I watched the first 15 episodes of Super and I was very disappointed, more or less what you said

awful plot (where is the amazing Frieza saga action and suspense), the god concept really sucks, Frieza return was a bad joke for one of the best villains of all time, beloved characters that once mattered and had an impact on the story left to dust etc...

and I was thinking that I'd probably get back to it at some point not to betray one of my favorite series in a hope that it gets better later on, but yeah, my fears have just been confirmed :/

I think it's better than GT in basically every way which is nice, but I do agree it isn't nearly as good as Z. Still, there are some epic moments in it worth a watch.

I actually appreciate the worthless characters being ignored, but you left out the return of 17 and the dedication of focusing on Trunks for an entire arc. I'm not sure where you are but you mentioned Frieza's return and still branded Gohan a scientist which seems inaccurate to say the least if you're caught up on events.

I find your criticisms superficial and myopic, but to each his or her own.

I should watch DBS someday. I really liked DB and DBZ when I was a kid, but in retrospective I feel they aren't as good as I thought they were.

P.S. Code Geass is the best anime ever.
