I’ll give each episode a thumbs up or thumbs down. Each thumbs up will be half a point and in the end they’ll add up for a 10 points score, with points added or deducted from the overall flow of the series.



Episode 1 has a greatly animated recap of the Boo Saga (and surprisingly consistent too) and establishes the bad guys. Aside from the Pride Trooper wardrobe I like Gomah’s design; he’s clearly a chump, a mook who only became boss by pure luck. Dengesu is literally just evil Shin and it makes for some comedy. Nevah is already established to be an incredibly powerful magician for the next episodes. Nothing to say about Arinsu yet.

As for the main cast. I really like Goku’s Gi here. It looks very real, you know? DB is by no means supposed to be “real” but Goku looks really cool here. Kibitoshin being unfused already tells me Super was just a collective delirium which is good. I’ll never forgive Toriyama for excluding Gohan though, and Dende still being a kid feels off (Though that’s been a problem since the Boo Saga).

Shenlong being biased and petty is something I always suspected and it’s confirmed here. Getting ahead of myself, but he ends up being the real MVP here denying Gomah a second wish next episode. When it seems like not even Dende can stop the bad guys from hijacking the DBs, Shenlong himself, who the demons saw as a mere tool, steps in and says “Nuh uh”. Great.

Thumbs up for this one👍

The show is mostly boring as fuck before episode 18. I feel bad for anyone who's just now starting it instead of tuning in every week lol

Just watched up to episode 6. There’s a pretty good flow actually - each episode gives us something new and ends with a fight. They’re not all great fights, but at least there’s some action every episode.

* Episode 3 - Introduces the Demon Realm, bar fight. I like the western vibes here.
* Episode 4 - Panzy and Gendarmerie. I get more medieval vibes from this episode and the next.
* Episode 5 - Kadan introduced, Goku vs soldiers.
* Episode 6 - Shin lore dump, Goku vs Glorio. The fight is good, but nothing important happens here.

6 and maybe 3 are the only thumbs down here, but at least 6 had a good fight.

Episode 6 does reveal that Glorio is a spy for Arinsu.

95% of Daima's plot: Beat up fodder, sleeping at hotels, eating food, and getting new ships.

Hybis is so fucking annoying. I hope he dies a slow, painful death. 0/10 for this show.

Episodes 9 and 10 are mostly just filler. 9 just repeats the "thugs steal/break the ship" plot and Majin Koo vs Tamagami 1 goes on for waaay too long.

I couldn't even remember Hybis' name for most of the time I watched this series because it was so boring

Listening to JFK talk about President Diem in South Vietnam two months before authorising his assassination is pretty insane.
Punpun is a bitch and is for bitches
Tell your friend to talk to someone he trusts, and if that does not work, seeing the "professional" is better than dying.
