DefMos said: ^^ I don't know if Gohan would be able to defeat Kidd Buu even though IIRC,Ultimate/Mystic Gohan was supposedly stronger than SSJ3 Goku, he lacked the experience and passion of fighting like Goku did. OT: Buus Japanese voice is so damn cringy. Whatever. I think I'm growing used to Goku's voice but I still find it so damn weird how he has the same voice as Gohan. Other than that, it's all good. But Goku lost against Kid Buu while Gohan beat Super Buu, I guess making Buu insane makes him stronger, but still my point is that Gohan wasn't irrelevant. I think that bringing Gotenks and Gohan would be much smarter than almost killing all humanity to create a genki dama. I guess Goku feared that they would be absorbed again so he decided not to call them. |

| I remember when i was 6 years old and watching this anime. Now I'm 18 and my childhood is back.. more excited about this than of any other actual movie. Nice, fun introductory episode! Trunks and Goten's gift for Videl is the best! :D |
| So much memories. Dragon Ball franchise was my most rewatchable anime, ehh... Now I remember why I love Akira Toriyama, thats because of his humor :) Nice first episode overall. |
Dml17 said: I can understand trying to reintroduce the characters after such a long time, but this really dragged a lot. Other than seeing Beerus basically be Frieza 2.0 this didn't help show what the main plot was going to be, not a bad episode though Agree. The first episode should have had much stronger impact. We didn't even see Vegeta. Basically nothing happened in this episode. I'm glad for the animation though. The quality is really good for a Sunday morning shounen. |
| I thought i dint needed a sequel to Dragon Ball, then i watched the first episode and my opinion totally changed, it was the needed sequel. |
| no |
| I love the good old Dragon Ball vibe this first episode gave! It's always a blessing to see Goku again! Can't wait to see the cast we all know and love in some good old classic Dragon Ball fights this season! |
| Chi Chi, the most powerful being in the universe. |
| To be honest I didn't like the movies that much. The concepts however were ok, so if this has better writing and we don't see vegeta sing again I am happy. Also did King Kai ever get his planet back? xD |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| I can't watch this. My brain won't let me enjoy Dragon Ball unless it's dubbed. Still nice seeing a new DB series. I'll probably just end up watching the fights later. |
| Pretty good episode, considering it's been a while since I'd last seen DBZ this was quite the nostalgia trip. Having watched the original series about a year or so ago, the Japanese voices don't bother me that much though I don't like Trunks, maybe because I haven't re-watched DBZ or seen Kai to get used to his voice. Everyone else was golden, imo. Always loved Goku's Japanese voice so the same for his children. Looking forward to next episode, Vegeta is maybe my favorite character in the franchise so it'll be cool to see him again. |

| Yo people better not be talking down to Masako! She was been voicing Goku since dragon ball and is still going strong approaching her 80's. |
| DRAGONBALL IS BACKKK damn, watching this was seriously like a dream. can't wait to see what happens OP and ED are great |

| The Dragonball series is like one of the only series were i love peaceful/carefree episodes. Goten is such a cutie!!!! |
| God, this was so hard to watch in Japanese. Usually, I prefer the Japanese voice over English, but for the love of god, not for DBZ. Its absolutely terrible, lol. Besides, bruce faulconer was the heart of DBZ. His sound tracks made DBZ reach legendary status. |
genius666 said: hi guys! i have only watched anime for a couple of years,never seen DB only a few episodes on tv when i was a kid. can i watch only these series or is there a prequel? It goes: Dragonball Dragon ball Z Dragonball GT ( a lot of fans don't accept GT as being part of the original series). Dragon ball super. You can find a lot of places to watch it with a simple google search. I highly recommend you watch it in English and not japanese. Also, watch the bruce faulconer version. That was the version that was on toonami. |
| Goku shows again why he is the best father in the world. Screw raising my kids, I want to go training with King Kai. |

| I was so happy with this first episode and loved how chilled it was, but the preview to next week was the highlight, I can't wait. I love how Chichi's fine with Goku's anual absence now he's earned them a nice sum of money. KaiserNazrin said: Goku shows again why he is the best father in the world.

| The way Piccolo looked at Gohan was hilarious |

HaohmaruHL said: Was a rather cute episode. But i don't get whats the dela with Beerus? Does this take place after Beerus movie or what? I thought we agreed upon that he is a pretty cool guy and everyone went home, why sudden change of character? It feels like this new tv series pretends that movie never happened? I am actually think that the movies were "a pilot" to a new series. Actually this can be (spoiler from Battle of God) I just hope Bills remains a enjoyable character. |
 |
| pretty decent first episode |
 |
| That was hilarious. And the next episode seems interesting & funny~ |
  |
| Do I need to watch any of the dragon ball series before this ? |
| very good episode is all I can say It feels so good watching dragon ball once again man but it's a lil diff from the manga ? I mean lord beerus appearance part and destroying half of the planet , goku's training after the lunch part :/ |
| I didn't like this episode. I didn't like the voice-acting. |

And don't watch it in english, dragon ball in english is not dragon ball, watch it in japanese like every anime should be watched. |

thepath said: Do I need to watch any of the dragon ball series before this ? No it's only several hundred episodes of stuff, just skip it obviously none of it could be important. |
| horrible that my first impression |
| The OP and ED were disappointing, I'll skip them every time I watch an episode. First episode was alright, nothing too serious. But I felt kinda nostalgic watching these characters I know for so long :) |
Gator said: The OP and ED were disappointing, I'll skip them every time I watch an episode. Describes every anime ever. Even if you're immortal you have better things to do with 4 minutes of your life than that. |

hithummah said: truth to be said, this episode was boring and shows that dragon balls can hold itself against today's anime *still gonna watch for the nostalgic value I wonder how some people can take such judgement based only on one episode's content |

Goku sounds like a god damn pussy in japanese. I felt dirty watching the first episode of super. |

Dragon Ball IS in japanese, if it's in english it is NOT Dragon Ball, it's not about the dubs being good or not, japanese cannot be translated, if you want to hear english go watch your crap american cartoons and movies, because animes are in japanese. |

Few drafts for episode two:     [Can anyone translate the texts? |
|
| ^ Vegeta being a tsundere like always. |
| Would be interesting to see a new villain battling vs Goku with fight ending up as a draw and Goku decides like it was with Piccolo and Vegeta not to kill him so he becomes ally later on. |
| The atmosphere was there, but I didn't feel it to be as awesome as you guys say it is. It was average, I'd say. |
 |
More drafts.  I guess Beerus vs. Goku at King Kais planet might be extended by the looks of it. |
