Dragon Ball Super (2015–2018) User Reviews

Decent but not as good as the previous 2 Dragon Ball Shows

[liamfuller-34875 · 7/10 · 19 April 2020]

First of all this show is better than GT! Don't even try to say that Gt was better than this.

Now to the review. This show starts off exceedingly poor. The first 2 arcs are very, very average and I did not like at all. But if you can truly give the rest of the show a chance I think you'd definitely start to like it. The Zamasu arc is fantastic (a bit rushed) but still fantastic. And right after this arc we get (arguably) the best tournament arc in all of dragon ball. We also have the Broly movie which was fantastic. Overall, despite the slow start, the charm of dragon ball is still there. It's decent!

Ratings for the arcs: Beerus Arc 6/10 Ressurection of F 5/10 (Just because of what happens at the very end, I won't spoil it but it's sad) Zamasu Arc 9/10 Universe Survival Arc 9/10 Broly Movie 9/10

Great Work Overall

Great anime is what it is. Lovable characters, intense action, humor, and anticipation are all blended into a seemingly never ending story that keeps you wanting for more. The variety of new characters that this new series brings is especially wonderful - it's both, wide and thoughtful. The fight sequences are good as ever, with thrilling and suspenseful moments that draw you the more.. can't wait for Sundays!

The only real downside is the occasional drop-down in graphics quality. It's a shame that this happens with such a legendary anime.. .

I'm not exactly fond of how Goku is portrayed as a rather naive, unclever person at times. However, he is ultimately still a very great character.. .

I really enjoy this anime.. hope it will last long!

Dragon Ball Super I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[abdurrafi · 10/10 · 9 July 2015]

Dragon Ball Super does not go into full blown action packed episodes from the start unlike it's DBZ counterpart. It starts with a more funny and story based start and I like it cause newer fans can get use to the characters. It's been 18 years since the last episode of DBZ and some people didn't get the chance to watch DBZ or know all it's characters but they can now.I use to hate it when people said that DBZ has no story and is all action right off the bat but now DBS shows how the characters are developing before the big battles arrive. The starting is amazing for both old Fans and new ones.

The music is enjoyable but I believe Signing Bruce Faulconer as the composer can do wonders to this series. The action will probably be like 'Revival of F' and I have no problem with it cause the one thing DB excels at is it's awesome fights. Though one thing I heavily hope for this series is to not bring villains who regenerate and to use it's human characters more.

Otherwise it is still an awesome nostalgia packed series for it's old fans and is also an awesome series for new ones.

Dragon Ball Super is getting SUPER BETTER!! Off to the Champa Arc!

[william-e-sepulveda · 10/10 · 25 February 2016]

Say what you say about the animation in some episodes, nothing stops me from loving this show! Dragon Ball Z is a big part of my childhood and i am glad that we have a new series. Sure the first arcs are based Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, but i don't mind this at all as in my mind it's a good idea to make these arcs for those who have not seen the two movies, which are all canon and so is this show. I think the real highlight will be the new Arc, where the Z-Fighters are heading to a new Tournament between the 7th Universe and the 6th Universe. Hopefully we get an English Dub of this anime, cause when it comes to Dragon Ball, it's one of those few anime you see in English. Oh and IMDb, tell Google to fix a problem when every time i search Dragon Ball Super, the rating is 7.9 on Google, but when i clicked it, it leads to Dragon Ball Absalon. Just a word of advice.

The Hype was well Deserved TO BE OVER 9000!!!!!

[nsakibl64 · 10/10 · 5 July 2015]

Childhood is back with a Bang!

ITS GONNA BE A LONG WAIT FOR SUNDAYS!!

Judging from the 1st episode the series is gonna have the laughs we all remember and action packed fun ..Goku is his goofy self...but always got his priorities straight...prepare for future dangers..

The 1st episode is something maybe all the viewers wanted to see happen to Goku.. :)

Mr.Satan Surprised Me :')....There was A cameo of a certain pair too.

I think its gonna be something we're gonna enjoy ...

So sit back and enjoy the ride...

Stop Hating

[panteloglous · 10/10 · 1 November 2015]

I'm reading the other reviews and all I'm hearing is a bunch of complaining. I don't see any difference in the original Dragon Ball and DBZ to Dragon Ball Super. Its fun and goofy just like the originals. I think most of you need to go back and watch the series again and let go of the awesomeness you remember as a child. It was epic but I think most of you are stuck on the feeling you had while watching it as a kid to what the show actually was.Dragon Ball Super to me, feels the same. It reminds me of the originals. It is fun, quirky and at times slightly goofy. The story starts great bringing the cast in full view and giving a little bit of back story. I never expected it to come out in full force with epic battles in the first few minutes. I personally like a story, the originals had a great story not just epic battles. Even other great anime have great story with lots of filler. I think people have had too many expectations for this show from the beginning and aren't giving it a chance. My advice is to give it some time.

Dragonball is Life itself

[jonesmi-75978 · 9/10 · 12 February 2019]

I love this anime to the core. The plot can seem ridiculous when they manage to surpass the power levels of their foes when their life is at stake, but it has taught me in real life that whenever a powerful foe/circumstance arises, I must Look to God first of all but to also look within the wonderful mind He has given me to overcome and work out how to defeat every opponent. This is the only anime that has actually genuinely brought me to tears. Many of the other Anime's try way to hard to be emotional, they force it and it just makes me sick. Dragonball is a natural! However, i do have a bit of discontentment with how powerful some people become. People have been achieving in one day what it took Goku and Vegeta to achieve in about 20 years!!! ( I calculated these years given how Gohan was a minor in the Frieza Saga). Please stick to the rules Dragonball writers.

Lacking, but fun to watch for us who grew up on Dragon ball/Z

[robiisgod · 7/10 · 3 April 2018]

After watching all 131 episoses I can say this as an old and true Dragon ball fan - Dragon ball super was fun to watch, but at times lacking compared to the former series.

My first complaint was animation, which mustn't be this bad in an anime popular and loved like Dragon ball. However the animation improved as it ran it's course.

Secondly, it bothered me how they made Goku goofy and stupid during many moments in the begining. I mean he is a gulable character, but sometimes he rurned out to be stupid.

Thirdly, it seems that sometimes the staff forgets how powerful a certain power level is. In example Goku and Vegeta Blue fight Zamasu and have trouble sith him and than Trunks powers up to SSj 2 and holds against him. Further more Goku Blue against fused Kale and Caulifa as Super Saiyan 2 is also ridicilous. They should be as strong as Vegito against Buu and somehow they manage against Goku Blue.

Lastly, I truly missed the battle damage. Clothes rarely get damaged even though they battle now on a godly level and most of all there is no BLOOD. This reduced the seriousness of certain moments and I could't feel sad or worried.

On the other hand the score was phenomenal and so was the voice acting of the original cast. I think SUPER was mostly successful due to nostalgia of us older fans and was superior to that piece of trash GT, but there was still a lot that could have been improved.

All in all I hope that after the animated movie this December they continue the story of Super and that they add blood and pay more attention to details.

My dragon ball super review!

[ponchan · 10/10 · 26 July 2015]

As for now i really love what i see in this series even though there was just 3 episodes for now. It's really great to see this anime was still going, it brings back all my memories when i was a child.

Animation-excellent, it's better than the old ones.

Story- for now i can't judge it because it was only 3 ep but that 3 ep was still on the story and didn't change so it's OK for me.

Op and Ed song - i don't care about that much when it comes to this but it fits the show.

I rated it 10/10 because i don't see any or at least a bit of failure for this show as of now...

Big disappointment/missed opportunity

[slyfiskman · 6/10 · 9 June 2016]

Akira Toriyama had big opportunity to re-introduce Dragonball to a new generation. Dragonball Z pretty revolutionized all manga and was the inspiration for many more.

Dragonball Z had a big advantage over all others anime, because it was already popular and fans have been craving for new series for nearly 20 years. In the meantime, other popular anime's rose to popularity which was influenced by Dragonball.

Akira Toriyama failed to keep up and take inspiration from other popular anime's.

The current series are lifeless, badly drawn, filler full, lack of real action, lack of a robust story line, no character development.

Akira could have easily introduced new characters and even retired some background characters like Tien, Yamcha, Pilaf etc...

I find these series a big disappointment, the god's of destruction are a complete joke. Even sillier was Akira's decision to include movie plots into the anime. Think about this...Frieza's reason why he became so strong is because he had never trained in his life, when he did he became a lot stronger. I mean really? They could not have come up with something more creative?

They turned Vegeta into a big wuss. They are recycling story lines and some of the characters are redicilous (king of the Galacy is a green octopus with a crown)

I'm still going to watch in hope that it improves but I doubt it. I understand DB has always had comedy in it but this one is too much.

Underwhelmed and disappointing.

[vatsalrjchourey · 10/10 · 7 September 2021]

I want to see the goku on top again.

Please make him the strongest character of all animes again toriyama sir.

Terrific, Though not Without Its' Problems

[caidenw-37050 · 7/10 · 10 December 2016]

This anime show is great! However, it DOES have a few problems here and there. Yes, there's plot holes from time to time, but virtually every show has those. The 1st 5 Japanese episodes have some ugly animation errors at a few times. The episodes themselves aren't terrible; it's just those moments, though they DO hurt the episodes. The animation was fixed excluding 1 time after those 5 episodes, and even then, the error wasn't quite as bad.

The action and intensity of this show are terrific! The stories are excellent, and the transformations are great, though I'm kind of sick of transformations now as far as Saiyans go. There's at least 1 retcon that I really don't like. There's also a few moments in a few episodes during the Future Trunks arc where they pull stuff out of their butt. Luckily, those episodes have some of the best, most bad*** action.

The show isn't as good as the original nor Z, but I'd definitely suggest checking it out. However, be warned. The voices of the Japanese dub are VERY different than..pretty much every other dub to say the least.

I love dragon ball,dragon ball z,dragon ball super

[vatsalrjchourey · 10/10 · 21 June 2021]

Dragon ball,dragon ball z,dragon ball super are the bestest anime i ever watched.

Not for an intelligent audience

[robinyourhood · 1/10 · 15 February 2019]

There's nothing I can write that other's haven't said already.

One star for the brief moments of quality animation and background art but writing is a overly complicated anime clieché with bits of random silly moments that don't lend to the plot and fails to keep me interested, engaged and feeling a connection to characters that I grew to love in previous franchise history. Goku is a caricature of himself...Vegeta and the rest of the characters leaves me lost for words. Beerus was a cool addition but left me wanting more without delivering.

I don't want to be too hard on it though. I know it's hard work to produce content because I too am part of the entertainment industry but franchises like this deserve the best or nothing at all.

The perfect manga since the first one

[bouzlafanour · 10/10 · 2 July 2020]

Since the manga has begun we have loved it. It's an awesome perfect one which is very original it's a manga that attract not just teen but adults too.

If someone asks you to give the definition of masterpiece, just make them watch this show

[shivammp · 10/10 · 29 March 2021]

Although I've never written such a review for any series, this one surely made me write it. If you're reading this review to figure out whether to watch DBS or not, then surely get on with it. You'll not regret it. The story escalates quickly from the first saga itself. It keeps getting interesting with new characters getting introduced on the way. It's a perfect combination of action, adventure and comedy too. The animations are too good and the dubbing too. Once you watch this anime, you'll want your memory to be erased so that you can watch it again. Trust me it's that great.

I love this, dbs is beyond awesome!

[gammat-98876 · 10/10 · 27 November 2021]

Dragonball Super is op. The best shounen anime. It helped in making the dragonball franchise even more popular. The power level of characters increase from galactic level to universal level. Every shounen anime lover and dragonball lover will like this anime. Such an entertaining ride!!

Incredible follow up to Z

[davidechiesa-98833 · 10/10 · 25 August 2018]

Despite how many people disliked this anime, I found it really enjoyable.

While some people say that the show is too goofy for their own liking, I think the goofiness was needed to balance out intense arcs like the Universe 6 tournament. The music was flat out awesome, and I loved the additions of some of the new characters. I admit, the animation really suffered in the first couple of sagas, but it improved a lot after that. Some people argue that the scale of power is completely messed up, which that I agree, but it didn't take away any of the fun from the series. Overall, I think this anime completely trumps Dragon Ball GT, and is even comparable to the original series.

So, if you like action, and you've enjoyed the previous dragon ball series, then I highly recommend this you.

Super

[mdavidarthur · 6/10 · 24 May 2021]

The best arc has got to be the 3rd one, Universe 6 vs Universe 7; other than that; the score that i gave pretty much represents what i saw.

And the last arc too (the universal saga tournament), gave the opportunity to others like the androids to shine.

Not as bad as some people think, in fact it's quite good.

[worstpyroever · 8/10 · 25 August 2015]

I will admit i'm disappointing it's basically a retelling of the movies so far (Battle of gods and resurrection F) but it's nice to get a lot more back story witch is something that could not be done with the time constraints of the movies.

Some people complain about the animation and honestly I don't see what they are griping about, the animation looks just fine really it's just a bunch of nostalgic blinded babies who can't handle a little change. The original animation was not flawless by any means, not things looks a bit smother and crisper, yes some of the character models are a bit off but times change deal with it or don't watch.

I'm happy to see Dragon Ball back and I know a lot of other true fans are happy too. I'm interested to see where they go with the story now and what path they will take since it's a bit of a re- telling.

To sum this all up if Dragon Ball Super perfect? No it's not but it's still a dam good anime and i'm having a blast watching it.
