It's pretty not great. Hope you like tournament arcs, because there are three of them.

It's pretty good. Not as good as Z, but better than GT.

Its much better than people say. And dont listen to anyone who says the animation is bad. Its some of the best its been. Yes, its not hand drawn but thats not a bad thing. Hits its stride with the Future Trunks Saga

It has plenty of good ideas, but the execution isnt always great. And logic with power levels often goes out the window.

(Not talking about power levels as in assigning a specific number, but rather simple stuff like person X should be stronger than person Y)

Power levels haven't meant shit since the Saiyan saga.

I was thinking of U7 vs U9. But you might not count that. I guess it isn't technically an arc.

It's good, but not on Z's level. I thought the Zamasu arc dragged on for too long. And yeah, power levels are a mess.

It's back to the more humorous light hearted tone that DBZ had a hard time balancing. After leaning too hard into super serious business with Frieza and Cell, a lot of fans expect it to always be like that, when the series was always supposed to be kinda silly.

At times. But fan fics aren't canon.

This. It's a lot more comedic than I remember the Z arcs being

Future Trunks/Zamasu arc had good potential but ended up being eh.

Tournament of Power arc has a lot of mixed reviews. Personally the ending felt rushed and ended up giving a lot of asspulls to a lot of characters (this happens a lot throughout Super in general though).

There was a lot more that couldve been done with Super but they left it at being a hype train for new young dragonball fans.

Super is the definition of wasted potential.

It has a lot of very cool concepts but it falls flat on pretty much all of them.

Battle of Gods the movie is excellent (Just skip Super's retelling of the movie, it's really really bad)
Revival of F is really stupid but it at least looks amazing (Also skip Super's retelling of this movie, it's even worse than the retelling of Battle of Gods)
Universe 6 arc is a very cool concept but the U6 characters are really fucking lame other than Hit
Future Trunks arc is a fucking train wreck but the premise could have been cool
Tournament of Power has some very cool moments (best moments of Super) and the art style is way better but it's very drawn out without much of a payout, a lot of the new characters are lame, power scaling is the worst it's ever been, and Jiren is nowhere near as cool as he could have been.

Overall Super kind of sucks but if you're a big Dragon Ball fan you should probably watch it and at least skim through it. The wasted potential of Super honestly makes me dislike it more because it could have been amazing if the writers weren't so fucking incompetent and didn't rush out the show just for some quick bucks. It just makes me appreciate that DBZ ended when it did.

Its complete shit until the final arc (which is basically the 2nd half of the show). The final arc is awesome. It is worth suffering through the other crap for.

Although I would recommend watching the two movies and starting the show at episode 28 (they are MUCH better animated and less filler than watching those eps. The 2nd movie is pretty satisfying.) The animation is really, really bad in the show until the final arc where it really ramps up, even to movie quality for some of it.

Ive watched the first 3 arcs so far and greatly enjoy it. But the first arc was much better as a movie.

Also there is less sweat, blood, and tears than in DBZ. And you dont fear for anyones life anymore. Still highly entertaining.

It's about on par with DBZ post Frieza saga in terms of quality

Nowhere near as good as OG Dragon ball though

The action, drama, animation arent nearly as good as Z, but the humor is one area it surpasses Z. And the final arc is some fantastic fan service.

I really enjoyed the fighting. A god catches a sniper bullet to the dome if you were ever curious how that plays out

Sagas:

Namek > Saiyan > Tournament of Power > Zamasu > Cell > Buu > The rest of Super


I would put Zamasu below Cell and Buu and agree with the rest.

Never watched the battle of the gods arc or the frieza arc in super. Don't think anyone needs to, just watch the movie.

I say this as one of the greatest DB/Z/etc fans of all time - Don't watch Super. It's complete garbage.
