Yeah that new animation looks pretty baller.

It looks modern & different in a good way.

I can actually tell this is a movie for one.

So this thread tends to be pretty hard on Toei (which might be deserved in some cases), but I have to ask:

Is there anything you guys think they did really well in regards to Dragonball? Like something that was as good as the manga version, or maybe even better?

I'm curious to hear it.

Some of the filler is actually pretty good.

Stuff that didn't contradict the manga anyway...

I also like some of the character designs like Aniraza and the Kamikaze Fireballs.

Character driven filler tends to be pretty good. Look at Gohan's training period during the Saiyan Arc.

Also there's the episode where Goku and Piccolo drive cars.

In general comedy filler tends to be a lot better than "serious" filler I find.

I have to admit - that episode where Gohan befriends an injured dinosaur that ends up getting eaten by the end got to me as a kid. Who knows, it still might.

That reminds me of the T. rex that Gohan was eating tail slice by slice

Befriends one dinosaur but eats another.

I apparently didn't find DB's filler memorable because that eaten dinosaur thing doesn't sound familiar at all...

I'm wondering if there is a way that someone could have their "one day back from death" that Grandpa Gohan and Goku used without Urani Baba summoning them. I say this because I want to know if it's an option in the worst case scenario of the Earth being destroyed and all the heroes dead. Like if Cell won and destroyed the solar system, would it be an option for the Z-Fighters to train in Heaven and use that 1 day to stop him from destroying the rest of the universe?

I would assume that there are other Fortune Tellers (or Mediums, or whatever Baba is supposed to be) that have the same power to bring people back for a day.

Baba's just the one the heroes know personally, so she's the one they go to when they need anything to do with the dead.

I also feel like Shin could probably make this happen.

I liked the filler where Goku and Piccolo goes to Traffic School.

A compilation of various statements made by many people about the movies new art, including many prolific animators, as well as some other tidbits of information.

Unrelated: Hit passing the torch to the Saiyans of U6 makes a lot more sense when you know that their ace in the hole was to have two of the Saiyans Potara fuse.

It occurs to me that a poll was a bad idea with such a small sample size. How about we instead explain why we answered what we did?

Well gents and ladies. Tonight, the ride ends. This will be the last episode we'll be able to discuss Super fervently beyond bitching about past episodes. Its been a fun three years.

Huh, if an already dead person asked for immortality, I wonder if the wish would just automatically bring them back to life, or just not work.
