Dragonball Super going on haitus in the Spring
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku
- Start date
Again, Super was abnormal for Toei and most of Toei's recent productions have been really good.
And Super's problems weren't something that Toei was completely at fault for.
I hope 17 has a non Racistly designed person of color as a wife.
My hope would be a year and a half+ break so the English dub catches up, and when it comes back we get simulcasts. Some of y'all will kill me for this but I miss the english cast. I'm cool sticking with japanese if they come back quickly though.
It gets a bit more fun when all the jobber universes go down.
What a wasted idea. It hurts that much more because of how cool it could have been.
I'd also switch to english in a hearbeat just so I never have to hear ATATATATATATA again
The Kale/Caulifla episodes were the low point of the ToP arc so far. Actually, anything involving Ribrianne might be worse.
Ultra Instinct was dope though, so I`m gonna have to disagree there. ToP hasn`t been the most interesting story-wise but the fights, animation, and use of secondary characters has been top notch.

Why do all my shows have to have wack-ass schedules? We either get stupidly long hiatuses, are Netflix-style "the entire season is released in 1 day," or have the damn Bomb Format. Dragon Ball Super was the one reliable show I had on my plate. Hopefully it's not a long wait, & that when it comes back, they do a shit ton of pre-production so we consistently get well-animated episodes with minimal filler.
But, like... The movie comes out in December, right? I know I should be easy to tough this out as a huge Venture Bros. fan, but, like... Every show I watch has hiatuses that long these days now, & it'll remain that way until JoJo's Part 5 drops.
I'm totally down for this idea. Hell, throw in Yurin & Marron, too!
Where are the other Tenshinhan fans in the Super thread?!
End of Z. It refers to the very last chapter of the manga set 10 years after Buu. When Goku leaves to train Uub.
End of Z. The timeskip that happens at the end of DBZ after the Buu Saga
The only thing that can save the ToP is if they kill those 2 morons :
We won't even have time to see Frieza do his crazy plan, let remove these 2 wonderful characters.
Poster, sleep.

Ah OK lol I guess maybe I should've been able to deduce "End of Z" haha...Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm fine with the show stopping for now. Let the dub catch up and give the writers time for creativity.

It's actually rating fairly well fairly consistently, and it's outperforming One Piece for Toei as far as sales figures go. It's also Namco Bandai's most popular property, going so far as to beat out Mobile Suit Gundam last year.
Ratings in 2017 were much lower than 2015-2016. Super averaged ratings in the 4-5.0's for most of 2017. If you look at the ratings from the first two years they were much higher. The show was on a steady decline viewership wise in less than 2 years.
I mean, I know I'm already uninterested. Sour grapes aside, I know nothing about it other than it looking ugly.
It's actually pretty wild that we had such a long run of DB airing weekly; most of the american fandom never had this chance before. Hopefully it continues the story next year, much is still left to be explored.
maybe the hiatus will make people stop making drive by "huehue super sux" posts in every Dragon Ball thread
Very sad. Kinda surreal to think I was watching a new DB series as it was airing in Japan (whereas DBZ was already old and GT had finished when DBZ premiered on Toonami in 98), I liked Super a lot... Although the filler and long drawn out events bothered me more so than watching DBZ filler. Week long waits for episodes is more painful then tuning in to CN the next afternoon.
I'm legit sad
They wasted so much time doing the movies again
And Boruto is so far behind the manga as well

Nope. They'll keep saying that for the next decade, but then when we get the next revival they'll just drive-by every thread bashing that.
Same. It has been the biggest test of endurance in my life to avoid spoilers all these months. Watched the sub until I heard about the dub
I mean I love all of DB a lot more then I should but Super has been pretty underwhelming overall. The most interesting arc was the Future Trunks arc which they really botched with a lame villain reveal (fuck Zemasu or whatever his name was) and an ending that just... I mean my freaking god shows that are canceled mid season have better finales then that freaking arc did. They could've at least kept Trunks around in Super and fans would've been just fine with it and he could've been a better fighter then stupid as Tien or Roshi.
Also the ToP arc has been really bad, the animation has been just dreadful except for a few key episodes and has been stretched along far longer then it ever should have and now I doubt they can even deliver on the final battle well and wrap everything up in the time they've got left. Also as much as I enjoyed Frieza coming back for like... an episode or two hes basically done absolutely nothing the entire time.
There are some episodes in Super that are above the Future Trunks introduction episode from Z for me. Some of the animation recently has been top notch (and just as jarring when jumping back to the standard meh quality).
