    I can't watch dragon ball super, i don't like it and i feel that somehow it has spoiled my fond memories of DBZ.I've read other people critics of dbs and i agree to some of them but i would personnaly say that the problems lies in three areas:
    -storyline
    -powerscaling
    -consistency of character

    There is no storyline at all in dbs, it's just a succession of tournament and though the movies were passable.
    In battle of gods, seriously is it even believable that frieza was ordered by beerus to destroy planet vegeta?
    The guy did it because he feared sayans potential, he saw that the sayans were getting slowly but steadily stronger through each fight.
    And even he did, why isn't vegeta angry against him?After knowing that frieza destroyed his planet in dbz the guy litteraly begged sangoku to avenge their race and yet here nothing at all.
    And if i had to make a summary of dbs after reading it i wouldn't want to watch dbs, after all it's just the discovery of the gods but somehow we don't truly the implications of their existence nor their utility>buu destroyed entire galaxy>frieza destroyed countless planet and wrecked havoc in the universe>even cell could have done the same had he not been stopped by gohan...
    And if you talk about revival of F, i just don't buy the fact that frieza could have become so trong through 4 months of training.Sangoku vegeta and the others had to trin for dozens of years to get to their current poiwer level, they had to surpass their limits time and time again, they were under pressure.Yet Frieza just need to train 4 months to become stronger than gohan who was supposed to be able to kick super buu's ass.

    As for power scaling, i can't even see it anymore.One thing i particularly with dbz was the fact that they could give you exact numbers to scale the power level of each character and though it became less present at the end of the manga it was something wich made us appreciate dbz.
    But in dbs well, even krillin is strong enough that sangoku has to take his super sayan god form to overwhelm him when he was supposed to be weaker than frieza original himself and super c17 who "somehow" has gotten strong through "training" to reach the same level as sangoku super sayajin god.
    It's pure nonsense.

    But more importantly, i hate sangoku in dbs while he used my fave in dbz.
    This is not the goku i knew, this one is just awful;

    Did you see the twelve gods of destruction?
    EVEN THE BAD GUYS IN "MY LITTLE PONY" ARE MORE IMPRESSIVE.
    I think that they wouldn't be out of place if you told me they were part of of a circus.

    In conclusion, many think that dbgt is bad but at least there were good parts to dbgt while i fail to see anything good in dbs.
    Dbs had potential and good concepts but unfortunately the author failed to see it through and in the end we are left with nothing but the shell of a good sequel to dbz.

    In my opinion, dbz is already bad. It ruined my memories of the original dragon ball. Anything after that are just downward brand of fail.

    DBS seems fine to me but that probably cause it's the first time I watched anything from the dragon ball series. Although the plot is pretty nonexistent.

    I agree with the power scaling. That's why I don't even try to bother watching it again after DBZ

    You guys seem to miss a very important point:
    Anime is just product advertisement for action figures and figurines or light novels

    Anime is not profitable enough to do a Macross 7 anymore with a high budget
    Also, slave labor is now frowned upon more

    Yeah, I agree (although I still watch, mostly for the fight scenes). If there's anything I didn't understand in DBS, it's the androids. I'm sorry, what? ANDROIDS, got stronger by training? Excuse me? Yeah, I know they're still partially biological, but that still doesn't make sense. I mean, their 'infinite energy' gimmick comes from their android half, which means that their energy output is fixed, and can't be increased. After all, if they could output infinite energy, universes go bye-bye.

    So them getting stronger by training makes no sense. Unless they were to train like normal humans and slowly increase their ki, which still wouldn't explain the infinite energy.

    And then trunks+Goten haven't gotten any older for ages.

    And then this latest episode of DBS (sub)... so the big guy (forgot his name) is a god of destruction now, huh? Cool, cool... NOT! Wasn't it expressly specified in the rules that the participants COULD NOT BE GODS!?!? He turn destruction god mode, he shoulda been instantly disqualified!!!

    ...Why is Tien weak? All he does is train, and he's somehow weaker than krillin, who barely trained at all for quite a while.

    I will agree there is no plot to DBS other than time passed from DBZ and Goku and Vegeta are still training.

    Power Levels were always absolute Bullshit even in DBZ and even so, the power scaling isn't as bad as you'd think. Neither Krillin nor C17 were strong enough against SSB. Goku likes holding back in fights, more importantly, Goku was always an idiot. Pretty sure the Goku you're looking for is in the English dub.
    And honestly, DBS has more in common with the original Dragonball where the fighters are trying their best to circumvent their opponent's gimmicks rather than every fight ending with a beam struggle

    I think that a lot of people's problem with Goku comes from the fact that his personality was changed by the dub in DBZ.

    I don't really care about the story, character development or anything else when i am watching dragon ball, z or super...

    What actually ruined the series for me.... The voice actors for goku and gohan and a few other characters!

    What was that?!?!
    It feels like i am listening to a 5 yr old japanese kid... All action, emotion, everything is ruined when i hear goku speak in that voice and go super saiyan!!

    Did no decent v.a. Want to play goku or was this done deliberately?!

    Actually, rather than stupid, Goku just didn't have common sense. He was brought up in a small building in a very remote area, and the only other person he knew was his grandfather, Gohan, so he barely knew anything except fighting, taking care of the house and finding food. Most of that was cured by DBZ, where I would say he was fairly smart - just without any education.

    Dragon ball super is created for new audiences I think. It's not that bad.

    there are indeed problems with it when you compare it with the older series, but i just enjoy the comedy of it, the fighting not so much

    I admit that DBZ isn't for everyone but even fans like me hates DBS.
    I feel like they didn't put much effort to produce it, just trying to make money but what makes me angry is the fact that the story of the game is better than DBS(dragon ball online).I'm not saying it's exceptionnal but it's far better than DBS and you see that they truly tried to make a good story(demongods,sayans hybrids...).
    Even if they just tried to put that in anime it should be far better than DBS.
