Dragon Ball Super Just Doesn't Get Better (in a bad way)

I'm starting to realize Toei's mismanagement of both their resources and their projects is hurting the overall presentation far more than I thought. In the case of episode 46 of DBS, most of the Goku vs Copy-Vegeta is done off-screen with barely any choreography at all. Only key frames are shown with the two characters striking, but otherwise the fight scene is quite lacking.

What the show really needs is a season break. Give the staff more time to fine tune the show from a production standpoint. But DBS is not like other anime shows like Assassination Classrom or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where it had 6 months of preparation. Instead, it falls on the weekly schedule in the same manner as other Shonen Jump shows like One Piece and Naruto.

A compromise would be dividing the staff into teams. The ones with the least experience do the minor arcs or the smaller episodes. Key episodes and major fights should be done by the more experienced. But that's a stretch and Japanese companies aren't known for being mindful of quality and such so long as they get a profit.

Why else did Konami announce a Metal Gear Solid Pinball game? Toei can do that too, you know. Iin fact they already did.



I'm just crossing my fingers now that for the Future Trunks arc, Toei does something to make the arc decent overall.

  1. That and it's thanks to the creator of anime himself. :/

  2. Dragon Ball Super is just bad fanfiction. I've stopped caring or getting hyped about this.
