So far it's been positive. There's a theater near my work that holds test screenings where you can meet the director. It feels like the anime is the test screening and the manga author corrects the silliness.

To me, the manga is canon and anime takes 10 points of "cohesion" and puts them into "flashy". Never forget saiyan god Goku punching Beerus' fist was about to destroy the entire universe.

Too bad that we'll have to wait for a while to get more. That first episode was great. The teamwork finally and 17 being MVP and wishing everyone back over the trip around the world. I always did think that was quite silly to wish for lol, especially if you can have anything.

This series was dope. Toriyama is a boss. FighterZ's great too!

Anything materialistic could just be handled by Bulma, so there was no point in wishing for any of that stuff. 18 and Kurin got the 10mil zeni, 17 got the boat, and everyone else just went about their day. Vegeta is probably tripping with Whis to U6 and Gohan is probably with the supreme kai or some shit.

Seriously. Bulma is like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and Bezos combined, with way cooler tech.

Was just saying that his wish was silly considering it's something that can be easily gotten.

While we'll have to wait awhile, it does sound like the TV show is coming back. For anyone who hasn't heard, Toei has created a dragon ball department and has a couple of departments. One focused on the television anime. So that seems to erase almost any doubts that Super or some other Dragon ball show isn't coming back within the next couple of years. Hopefully within the next year would be nice.

Wondering if it's gonna just be Dragon Ball Super or if they'll make a new Dragon Ball Super Duper series. Mostly just branding of course, but I'm kind of wondering how they will handle it.

There isn't even a point to wishing some of the smaller stuff since Whis just revived Freeza and made Bulma's baby come out faster. Just feed him and he might randomly grant a wish.

Why does Freeza care about the Freeza army? He could probably take out the army on his own, as could most of the Z fighters. Now, what would have been really cool is Freeza heading off to the dog-fox universe somehow to take over the position of Sindra by force.

People forget after Super Shenron, Zeno, and the Grand Priest, Whis is the most powerful being we know of. Hard to say if he's the strongest of the angels, but I'd say he's at least stronger than 9 10 and 11's

If you have godly powers and you're ruling an empire, you might want to consider having grunts to take care of the day-to-day business like keeping the locals in line, and only making an appearance yourself in case something gets really out of hand. It's not like you can be everywhere at once and stop every shitty ass rebel everywhere all the time.

I'm sticking to my original theory. Dragon Ball Super will have a follow up series with a relationship very similar to what DBZ had to DB.
This entire new realm that was established in DBS, god ki, Zenoh, multiverse, etc, is what will be explored. I think the 6 previously erased universes will have some sort of vendetta or angst regarding their erasure. Remember how people blamed Beerus for it? I could see U6/U7 teaming up in some kinda universe war. Would be fucking awesome.

What 6 universes? Are these the ones that were erased before this tournament started?

Yeah, the details are clearly intentionally vague, but all we know is that something inspired Zenoh to eliminate 6 universes a long time ago. There were "originally" 18. For all we know, they'll decide there are 50, some of which are ascended universes. This shit can go on forever. But what we know right now is that there were 18, 6 got erased prior to anything we've seen.
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Multiverse
The Universe Survival Saga takes place in the World of Void for the Tournament of Power between eight of the twelve universes. All of the 12 universes are ruled by Zeno. Formerly, there used to be 18 universes in total, but Zeno erased 6 of them when he was angry and Universes 9, 10, 2, 6, 4, 3, and 11 were erased during the Tournament of Power, but were brought back into existence thanks to Android 17's wish using the Super Dragon Balls.

I don't recall the anime touching on this point.

The phrasing is purposefully vague, they have the option to bring these universes back now.

Android 17 says "Restore all erased universes". Dragon Ball wishes have always been granted as stated. The other 6 were erased less recently, but nothing about 17's wording would omit them. I refuse to believe they would talk about previous 6 universes, then have Android 17 have a very broad wish, all for nothing. To me, it is virtually guaranteed we will see the other 6 universes at some point. Just a matter of when.

Occupation is about standing in corners, not glassing places
