I think what happened here is what happened to me: Your post was the last post in the thread until LordofLore posted. When we clicked on the thread title in the watchlist, in then took us to your post instead of theirs and, given the time lapse, that resulted in some confusion.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

What the fuck, I got this thread confused with the Dragon Ball Manga thread so hard. I honestly didn't even notice the lull here.

Damn, the thread actually died for 2 weeks?

With it being Convention Season, TFS' series are effectively on hiatus so it's not a surprise.

Two notes of tangentially related news:

  • TFS started a Nuzlocke of Soul Silver today.
  • I saw an episode of Dragon Ball Super. Episode 52.

What.
The fuck.
HAPPENED.

To the animation, to the characters... Man. Just gonna further the whole "Dragon Ball ended at Buu" line of thought.

What are you talking about? Dragon Ball Super has been fantastic recently.

Yeah, it's not like there are notable differences in style or quality of animation that may not match someone's personal preference!

Also, there's no chance that Toei's characterizations in a sequel produces decades after the original work could vary in any way that could also displease someone!

Nope, Super is fantastic and that comment definitely doesn't make sense at all.

Surely you're not so out of touch with reality that you are oblivious to the incredibly comment complaints about animation quality (that the animators have actually apologized for) or flanderization/Toeisms in the characterization of the characters.

It might be an exaggeration of an actual legit opinion...but it's whatever.

...I'm not exactly sure what you're doing, Saiga.

Anywho, I legitimately think DBS looks bad compared to DBZ, and I don't personally like the characterization and changes made to DB and DBZ characters. The show may not be entirely trash, but it's definitely not for me.

I find it a bit far to insist that someone is completely out of touch with reality just because they like Dragon Ball Super.

It's rather rude really.

I think you guys are reading defense as offense. Saiga seems to be taking issue with the

half. The first portion was a bit confrontational, and Saiga was defending the position that people have very justified reasons to dislike it. It's not a crazy opinion to say the quality is lacking. He wasn't attacking PMC's position, but responding to a perceived attack on wanderlust's.

At least, that's how I read it.

There are definitely less condescending/passive-aggressive ways to defend a point.

Unfortunately because it's con season, a lot of the guys are busy with that along with everything else, so next episode might take a bit still.

To clarify, Tobias was right on what I meant.

Some may feel that was an unnessecary response but feigning ignorance of someone's legitimate criticism is a pet peeve of mine.

Super's animation has a tendency to be a lot more noticeably off-model than Z's ever was, but at the same time I do feel it's a lot more dynamic.

Z definitely had the better musical score, though.

I just feel like most of Super's common complaints don't really apply to the episode in question, 52, which had perfectly fine animation and some really good character moments involving how Trunks sees Gohan and his family.

You're allowed to disagree, I still feel that the art style on the whole looks bad. While Trunks (both), Videl, Pan and Gohan in-character, I was disappointed by what I saw of most of the other characters. I also really dislike the direction Gohan went in (NEEEEERD).

Family life and badassery weren't always mutually exclusive...
