at least for me, releasing this as 2 episodes who are six months from each other was a big mistake, this series requires you for way more attention then other tv shows, and unless you are like an AOT hardcore who constantly consume this stuff, if you are a casual like me or others who already have a busy life and are not 24/7 into this then seeing 2 ending episodes six months from one to another is really a bad decision.

what they should have done is to wait with releasing part 2 and just add those ending episodes to part 2 OR just ... releasing this as a movie, either way it would have been a better choice overall.

but those episode to be honest, are bad, they are goofy, and they were bad in the manga and they are bad in the anime. dont get me started on the *YOU KNOW* (you know what i mean) this is not something i want to see EVER, its wierd, its repulsive, it dosent belong anywhere on tv. period. i get it that its not exactly a show for children but stuff like that is material for nightmares. just no.

not sure how i feel about this show with that ending. to be honest with you? i think the show was ruined at the very moment they started explaining everything. before that it was much better because it was such a mystery, then when they started explaining it you realized how much of an uncreative and bad story background it is.

its not a review because only 5 episodes aired which is too few to form a review, this is just my thought. and no its not negative because it has many good things in it and its not bad or boring or anything, its just that its pacing is too slow and the episodes feel like filler. stalling, stalling, and stalling, this is basically whats happening. first 2 episodes were the indructoction but once we got to episode 3 which was nothing but a transitional episode with alot of exposition.

they go into a bar gets into a fight with thugs and they steal their ... plane, fair enough, what now? episodes 4 and 5 are about getting new planes just so they would crash immidiatly so they can stall the series much more. first its a flying flower that cant even fly. we spended half of an episode in a store getting it and it immdiatly crashed, then episode 5 we meet pansy and yes pansy is cool, we meet the king, we have finally some advancement in the plot. we get a new plane and then what happns? it crash, immdiatly. so we got overall 3 flying tools 2 that crashed and 1 that was stolen. why? why do you have to stall the show like this? and next episode there is some kind of bull monster they meet. monster of the week type of nonesense. feel like black star dragon saga from gt all over again.

the fight scenes we got by now are just goku beating like 30 guys at the same time, its maybe well animated but its boring because the fights has no stakes. those demons are even weaker then tambourine in dragon ball. goku dosent even need to go ssj. he did for like 1 second and was back to base form. he litterly flicker them with his finger just like how beerus did to him.

so now they are going to fight the tamagamis to get the demon realm dragon balls, fair enough, the tamagamis were said to be strongests beings in the demon realm. but guess what? even with the ship they said it gonna take them 4 days. now that its crashed? we are going to see ALOT of pointless filler and monster of the week kind of nonesne. i do predict that EVENTUALLY there will be a climax with some big stakes and fights but i think it will happen in the very end of the season. at least we know vegeta gonna be there soon so at least we will have that.

but seriously. dont write the demon realm people to be that weak and then it wont be that boring like it is now.

EDIT: ok so i'm updating my "review" we had 7 episodes so far and beraly anything happend. now, people compared it to dragon ball, problem is, dragon ball was 153 episodes. this one is 20 episodes, not 22, not 24, 20. so that means if we are in the next episode in 8 we are reaching 10 episodes soon, half way trough, so only now in episode 8 goku fight the first tamagami, and we have 2 more in 2 different demon worlds all together, we still bearly had any scenes with the vilians aside from the first episode. we had episodes like episode 6 who was nothing but going into a cave to make a gag joke with some monster. that was the entire episode 6, yeah, goku foght with glorio, so what? we all knew goku is far stronger.

goku and vegeta and the rest dident even met yet, episode 7 was nothing but going from place to place. the biggest thing that happend in it was supreme kai removing pansy's collar, thats it. are you kidding me? if this is a 20 episodes show you seriously have no time to wase with those filler episodes. litterly nothing happens in the show!, it has the pacing of a snail!, its been 3 ships that they replaced already.

you know what that means? this all dragging gonna effect the second half of the show big time, its gonna be rushed. seriously get things moving already!

i'm very mixed about this show. let's start with the elephant in the room. The animation. While yes, the animation is not always bad. It has a large number of episodes with unbearable animation. Not talking only about animation as per se movement, but both the animation and the art were bad in a lot of episodes. Some of those episodes were actually good, like the goku vs Hit dual episodes, where the episodes were interesting, but in the second one, there were so many scenes of absolutely unbearable animation. i'm talking about something like a kid would draw. So bad that you can't even ... look at it. And in the second episode it was the majority of the episode like this. The only instances where the animation looks good are closeups on one character. Anything else is amazingly bad.

Every time the camera is a little bit far away from the characters, they look like something a little kid would draw in kindergarten. And this is consistent throughout the entire show. In Dragon Ball Z and even the original Dragon Ball GT, it was the other way around. The animation was consistently good, with very few episodes or in between scenes that looked bad, but those were very few, and the "bad" back then was 20x better than the bad in Super. The bad in super is an insult. Now, if toei didn't had the time to polish the series, it's their fault. They could have just take their time, maybe wait for Toyotoro to finish the manga first, and then release a version that is loyal to the manga instead of making stuff up, and the manga is basically like an alternate universe. Because the story in the manga is far better. 1 example is how the manga handled the Goku Black arc VS how the anime handled it. The manga version is far superior. That is also true about the TOP.

so, if we mentioned the tournament of power already. it's both the best and the worst arc in the show. it's the best animated, for sure. While it still has instances of bad animation, its mostly consistent and looks polished. The problem is that it's boring to watch, and the majority of the fighters are weaklings anyway. it's only starts to get good in episodes 109-110. Then it gets bad again. And then it finally gets good again in episode 122. i'm intentionally not mentioning what happens to avoid spoilers.

If we sum up the TOP arc, then most of it is bad, with maybe less than 10 episodes that are worth watching. The good ones were actually before the tournament began. Even back then, there were a lot of terrible episodes, but there were others like gohan training with Piccolo and Goku training with Gohan that were good.

The only reason most people agree that its better than GT is because it's far longer. Gt had 64 episodes, but story wise, animation wise and everything else, it had much better moments while still having moments that were bad. The baby arc was amazing. The Shadow Dragons arc was great, and even the Super 17 arc was good. It was mostly at the very beginning that it was bad

overall, Dragon Ball super is subpar for Dragon Ball standards but below average in general. There are some good ideas. Hit is an interesting character. Jiren as well. The rest is subpar.

dont like this movie very much. dr whiro is a lame vilian. not threathing and dosent know how to fight. just a giant robot with a brain.

the majority of the movie is about his assistent, his idea to take over goku's body. piccolo in a controlled robot. fighting against his robotic henchmens. kinda dry for me and not much in it. dr whiro dosent even have a real personality. hes just blabbering about he wants to take goku's body and thats it.

the animation is good. very consistent with the rest of the movies. the movie feel very slow up to the very end. to ... be honest i was kinda bored. and its hard to be bored in a dragon ball movie.

there is a nice story but what its worth if the vilian is not even a real threat

great movie. turles besides being the idea of an evil goku is a very interesting vilian, he has a personality. hes not just a one dimentional bad guy.

the animation of this movie is superb. the fight scenes are great. all the OG roster is fighting. tienshenhan,yamcha even chiatzu are there too.

the cinematography was superb. alot of great shots that reminds of tenstion you see in westrens. the idea of the tree of might that was a cool sci fi subplot but also served as a great plot device to power turles who suppose to be low class sayian warrior and thus making him a ... threat.

i would rank it in my top 5 DBZ movies. just because its so different from the rest. its a little bit longer and have better pacing, its not too rushed and also not so long that you will get bored of it.

people may complain that the dbz movies are vilian of the day type of movies but this is their exact magick. you need to love dragon ball to really enjoy them. i get that people who hate dragon ball would bash it. for me its the simplicity of turning off my mind and enjoying an hour of great animation,great fight scenes and a great vilian and i'm happy. not every movie needs to be dune.
