DBS Anime Appreciation Thread

[xenos5]

I'm sure i'm not the only one who enjoys the dragon ball super anime better than the manga. For this thread people can discuss and pay tribute to moments in the anime worth celebrating that are done better in the anime or only exist in the anime.

i'll start with the anime version of the Goku vs Hit fight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4cvNR60yKU

And Goku's rage boost against Black and Zamasu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAZafXpGD98

Beerus's erasure of Zamasu was so much better in the anime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ6EKv-0pNI

Zamasu's scream, the godly music, the erasure visuals. Much better than in the manga where Beerus just made Zamasu into ash like a normal ki blast would be capable of. That was so underwhelming in comparison.

-Cocoa, Vados, Caulifia.
-FNF Saga made somewhat more sense than in the movie.
-No SSJ2 Vegeta vs SSJ Black Goku nonsense.

The anime version of Zamasu's erasure was definitely better than the manga. But it's better to visualize and hear that shit than to just look at a picture of it.

 

[Big Ank]

The anime is more entertaining, with more touching scenes. Zamasu is a way more entertaining villain in the anime, whereas its manga counterpart just seems boring in comparison. But if you are seeking consistency and cool scenes be damned (with are already pretty few in da anime), then the manga is ideal. Although the manga's consistency took a 180 with the recent **** in Zamasu's saga.

I didn't intend to participate in this thread (cause I think the anime is very mediocre) and I won't turn it into a Manga vs anime discussion, but I'm curious about some things I've read here.

Firstly:

And Goku's rage boost against Black and Zamasu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAZafXpGD98

How are you putting that scene as an example of the anime being good? Except for a few cool cuts, it's badly drawn, full of still shots, the animation is mediocre and it doesn't make even the least sense.
Never in the series such fatal wounds could be ignored, let alone having a power up with them. And if Goku was so enraged, why the hell didn't he use KKx10 SSJBlue? He gets madly furious and proceeds to attack with a fraction of his power? Come on!!! That's bad writing to it's finest!

-No SSJ2 Vegeta vs SSJ Black Goku nonsense.

And what is nonsense about that, may I ask? And wasn't it clearly SSJ2 Black and not just SSJ? Even if the difference between SSJ2 and SSJ is relatively small, it's still something worth mentioning.

Although the manga's consistency took a 180 with the recent **** in Zamasu's saga.

I found it pretty consistent all in all, and compared to the anime, it's pure glory. But I would like to discuss what's so inconsistent about the manga because as I've said, I found it pretty ok in that regard (much, much better than the 23rd budokai saga from the manga you didn't see any coherency problem in).

Goku had far worse injuries back in Dragonball part 1 when he fought Piccolo in the 23rd Budokai yet he endured through those.

He got a huge power boost in Super Saiyan Blue so Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken wasn't necessary at that time. Plus Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken was still hugely risky back then with him not being able to fight anymore after using it, and it possibly killing him if he mishandles it.

The martial arts choreography was great in my opinion, I liked the animation just fine, and it really reminded me of Z Goku when he first fought Frieza as a SSJ. It was so awesome seeing him get serious again and show expressions he hadn't shown in a while.

The casual backhand to Zamasu was just the perfect cherry on top.

I found it pretty consistent all in all, and compared to the anime, it's pure glory. But I would like to discuss what's so inconsistent about the manga because as I've said, I found it pretty ok in that regard (much, much better than the 23rd budokai saga from the manga you didn't see any coherency problem in).

The manga is far more boring in general, and I already know the excuses you have for the asspulls that have happened in the manga recently. But I could justify the anime's asspulls with weak excuses as well if I wanted to. What we should be doing though is looking at things fair and equally and not give weak justification for either version's asspulls.

Shouldn't we be appreciating the anime rather than discussing?

I was curious, but you're right. This thread is to appreciate the anime and not to discuss.

The nonsense is that...
SSJ3 Goku~SSJ2 Trunks<<Base Black Goku<<SSJ Black Goku<SSJ2 Vegeta

But SSJ2 Vegeta was clearly above SSJ3 Goku since the BoG arc, and the base state in the DBS manga doesn't have the same limits than in the original work (be it the godly ritual and the fact that Goku Black has higher limits thanks to having Zamatsu's soul which is clearly seen by the fact that his improved SSJ2 could go toe to toe with SSJB Vegeta).

 

[Big Ank]

And wasn't it clearly SSJ2 Black and not just SSJ?

It was probably SSJ1. He had lightnings, but still people have concluded SSJ2 wasn't used there. I am not so good at explaining it though, open a thread about it if you wanna and I'm sure there will be people who could explain it to you and even cite an Akira Toriyama interview in which he also implied Black's SSJs form are different than the usual.

I found it pretty consistent all in all, and compared to the anime, it's pure glory. But I would like to discuss what's so inconsistent about the manga because as I've said, I found it pretty ok in that regard (much, much better than the 23rd budokai saga from the manga you didn't see any coherency problem in).

Maybe stuff like Trunks healing weren't exactly inconsistent, more like aspulls. But Goku managing to master the SSJ and not using it anytime beforehand (just revealing it on his fight against Merged Zamasu), and even worse, the Hakai, which according to Goku's thought could erase immortal Zamasu. I mean, why even go to all that trouble of learning the Mafuba as an only way to erase Zamasu if, to his knowledge, a Hakai could do that? It seems like something Toyotaro didn't think beforehand and just later when Goku already failed with the Mafuba thought something like "what if I give Goku the Hakai technique?". It's clear Goku didn't act as the possessor of a technique that could erase an immortal being, acting like if the Mafuba was the only option.


But like Fearless said, this thread is to praise the anime and not to discuss things like this. Let's create another one if we wanna keep discussing that.

I know, but, considering the SSJ Blue= SSJ x 10 implication and the fact that Vegeta later becomes SSJ God, the space is a little too
narrow for the gaps to fit in.
