I agree with that. The first episode of Super pretty thoroughly ruined Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu's awesome friendship. Now, Buu just comes off as the new Vegeta: an obstinate asshole who manages to contribute less than nothing by making problems worse.

Which is a shame, because Buu's Heel–Face Turn was one of my favorite parts of DBZ. :/

Is the new anime even good? I am getting worried.

It's okay.

It's not good, but it's not GT levels of awful either.

The animation is pretty bad.

I mean, GT was fucked up in a lot of ways in terms of content.

But the visuals never really suffered that I noticed, or at least, they were never noticeably bad, certainly not worse than Dragon Ball Z's hiccups.

Super though is. I mean.

Dammit Toei.

EDIT: On the other hand, this gif is pretty great.

Wouldn't Mr Satan bounce off Gohan like he was a brick wall?

[up][up]Of course, in terms of priority, Toei seems to be focusing on something something else....:

[up][up] If this is like Battle of Gods, Gohan and Mr. Satan are both extremely drunk.

Gohan can't hold his liquor. Mr. Satan can.

Alcohol affects muscle control. Specifically, it serves as a muscle relaxant.

Which, I mean. If you've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yeah.

...I don't think alcohol would affect ki. But then, ki is life energy, and alcohol is technically a toxin. We use it to kill bacteria.

The reason we consume it is because it does funny things to our brain that we like, and our brain gets used to it and can get dependent.

They removed all mention of that, though, so who knows if either of them are drunk in this.

I think Super is funny and generally fun to watch. The animation slips sometimes, but it's not consistently bad.

I don't know why this is even in question. Mr. Satan defeated Cell. He gathered the Earth's energy and destroyed Majin Buu! Of course he can elbow Gohan out of the way like it's nothing.

But Sailor-

hmm... maybe not the best idea.

...anyway, looking forward to whatever's next.

As for drunkenness? BOG came first, and Super's an adaption. I'm going to assume drunkenness unless explicitly stated otherwise.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up] an incredibly loose adaptation, and it has removed a lot of other things from BOG. I don't expect anything to be the same unless it is mentioned.

SO the stream tonight was pretty funny. Lani and Kirran were playing Disney Infinity and reenacted the Anakin/Obiwan fight from Revenge of the Sith. [lol]
