Holy fuck. I just typed in a random page number from between 500-600 and found one of my old Xenoverse 1 liveblog posts from April 2015.

No wonder I found it hard to keep up with this thread, the activity has increased so much. And here I thought it was just burn out.

We talk a lot. I guess all those controversial subjects helped blow up the thread.

[up] Indeed.

Man can the art on Super take a nosedive. Watching an episode on CN where Gohan does one last power-boost against Frieza & damn he looks terrible. He's way to skinny & some of the shots are just ugly cause of his unnatural skinniness.

Actual dialogue from the newest Super.

Piccolo: "Can we really use Freeza as a team member?"

Goku: "Of course! After all, there's nobody else we could use!"

Yamcha just got verbally bitch-slapped.

This song needs more love.

it's such a shame that Super more or less ended up being GT 2.0, except without the gorgeous animation and coloring.

especially since toriyama is actually more involved, so its not like we have the 'it wasnt REALLY written by toriyama' excuse like with GT

I recall GT having a lot of recycled animation. At least for Omega Shenron.

Also, I missed the episode since I'm at work. Anything neat happen?

An interesting tidbit I'm seeing is that Yardrats are apparently from Universe 2/11 originally, not 7/6.

I'm still wondering how mortal species can just hop universes this easily.

They are teleporters after all. Considering Goku can travel to the afterlife and back, I imagine the race who created it can do more.

Don't they need a ki signature to lock on to? Are they really good enough to sense ki across the dimensional borders and across entire universes?

...except wasn't it a plot point though that none of Universe 7 could sense anything from Universe 9, even though they are clearly using ki as well? Wouldn't that mean that you can only sense the energies of beings from your counterpart universe?

I wouldn't say it means that. Trio de Dangers seemed unique for their ki not being able to be sensed, but it was never elaborated on.

Now that we've seen all of the Universe teams, 3's is definitely the coolest-looking.

Also U6 still has two hidden members.

I think the highlight for the episode, aside from the Team introductions, was the short sparring match between Iru, Likur, and Arak... And how the Grand Priest had them clean up the destroyed stage. XD

Seriously? We were only a quarter-ish of the way into this thread when Super started?

I mean, there wasn't much new to talk about before Super so of course things were much slower back then.

Yeah, I understand that, it was more about how far it's come in such a short time. 1800+ pages is just... wow

I mean, couldn't we also talk about the movies that came out before Super?

we only had two movies, two years apart, so it's nowhere near the volume of content or the regular delivery of it.

meanwhile 2 years of Super has given us 90+ episodes to talk about. And I think the activity did pick up with BOG and ROF, but it wasn't as crazy as this.

I can't believe I accidentally called this thing about the Yardratians last page.
