I hate Tv Tropes new design, I can't look for my old posts.

Anyway, people are overly hating DB Heroes first episode. It was innofensive.

Were you referring to the OST in Super, or the Dragon Ball Heroes episode?

I replied after your post, so I was talking about Heroes.

Just saw the subbed version of the Super episode.

That was incredibly minimal and rushed. Like, I wasn't going to expect much of this, but it was basically what we'd already seen from the trailers.

If they'd taken a full length episode to cover the same events it'd be passable.

To be fair, the Heroes promo anime isn't remotely trying to explain itself (or make sense), but given how Heroes doesn't exactly run on sense to begin with...

Can we get Golden Cooler animated at least? ;)

That's next episode, we've already had a promo for it. It also has Berserk Goku in it.

I was underwhelmed by the crossover.

I disagree, it was cute and a lot of fun and the dub of the episode was phenomenal.

I liked that they even went and dubbed the Dr. Slump theme.

And Brina Palencia was great as Arale.

Honestly the dub of episode 69 made me wish Funimation would dub Dr.Slump.

Eh it stopped being fun at the end, it was kinda boring. Like at the start it stuff was happening & it was fun but the end petered out.

Goku & Arale standing around charging up for one blast while the rest argued with a harmless ghost with a dumbass “everybody clap your hands & wish” scenario.

Just felt very lazy like they weren’t even trying to come up with a good gag.

Well, i strongly disagree. It wasn't boring at all.

It felt like an episode of Dr.Slump.

a harmless ghost with a dumbass “everybody clap your hands & wish” scenario.

Now it just sounds like you missed the point.

Well not every episode can be winner.

Some can have a strong start but a weak finish.

Though seeing Vegeta getting wrekt will never stop being fun. evil grin

Oh yeah Beerus shows up, deletes a ghost, & gets diarrhea.

Very “strong” ending there.

Never took it seriously, I just thought the gag wasn’t very funny.

Cortez, I've thought this before, but you can be a bit obnoxious when you go "I disagree" when people don't see things the same way you do.

If someone gets actual points about the episode wrong, okay, I can get correcting them. But whether someone find the episode underwhelming or not isn't something a person can be wrong about; it's just their impression. As long as they aren't saying it's wrong for someone to disagree, there's no real point in fighting people on things like that.

I just feel like to wasn’t as wacky as it could have been.

Goku & Arale’s first real encounter in years should have had more slapstick or something.

Listening to the latest episode of All Systems Goku (they're at the Trunks vs Cell fight and the build-up to the Cell Games), and their theorizing is some delicious dramatic irony. For one, they've been very impatiently waiting for Super Saiyan 2, and, much like how they confused every single power-up in the Namek arc for Super Saiyan 1, they've confused every single Grade between 1 and 2 for Super Saiyan 2, and they've concluded that the payoff is going to be that Goku reveals that he's figured it out during his fight with Cell.

Also, in a previous episode, they've said that they know that Super Saiyan 3 has blue hair, and... oh boy.

They also literally just said (about the Androids) "Maybe if they punch Cell hard enough they'll pop back out"

[up] What the heck are ya watching, that sounds painful.

Also, should we add the Heroes OVA stuff to the main game's page, or should we make a separate page just for it?

All Systems Goku is a podcast where two guys who've never seen Dragon Ball (or any anime) before watch Dragon Ball Z Kai and upload their weekly thoughts on it five episodes at a time. They've played a bit of Fighterz and seen some memes, but they didn't know anything about the plot until they started watching. It's very interesting to hear Dragon Ball experienced through the eyes of someone new to the series, and they've really been enjoying the show so far.

It was hilarious how early they called Vegeta being a moron and letting Cell absorb the Androids.

And they've made a lot of comparisons between Dragonball Z and Wrestling so their reaction to Mr. Satan showing up was incredible.

One of my favorite reactions from them is describing Freeza's return as Freeza getting put in a squash match to put Trunks over as the new hot shit.

And then Trunks immediately goes 'by the way, i'm cold poo compared to the androids. They're the real new hot shit. N-no not those androids. Those suck. These- okay so there's this green guy...'

That is more or less what happened.

What were their thoughts on the Z Warriors deciding not to immediately use the dragon balls to find Gero and stop the androids from even being created?

[up]They think they were acting stupid, but believably so.

Yeah, their two biggest criticisms so far have been that the Goku/Freeza fight dragged on a bit and the beginning of the Android Arc felt a little disjointed.

One thing that I absolutely love in the most recent episode is that at no point do they ever even consider Gohan would do anything. They're curious about Vegeta and Piccolo's gains from the HTC, and they think that Goku is going to reveal that he knows how to go Super Saiyan 2 while fighting Cell. They didn't mention Gohan once, and I think that really speaks to the strength of that plot twist. They do like Gohan as a character, they just haven't even considered that he would do anything cool.

Unfortunately, they're taking a week off since the podcast is more of a side-project, but I cannot wait to hear their reactions to Gohan vs Cell.
