Dragon Ball Super – Part one
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Dragon Ball Super is styled as a semi-sequel to Dragon Ball Z. Technically, it takes place during a ten-year gap that occurs in the last few episodes of Dragon Ball Z. It originally aired in Japan beginning in the summer of 2015. The dub started airing on Cartoon Network in January of 2017. Dragon Ball Super is a fun, if flawed, show. It has plenty of callbacks for fans of Dragon Ball Z, and a strong dub make this release worth checking out.For those who have not followed Dragon Ball lately, Dragon Ball Super begins with two sagas that retell and expand the stories of two very recent Dragon Ball Z movies, “Battle of Gods” and “Resurrection F.” This set contains episodes 1-13, which is most of the Battle of Gods story arc. Episode 14 is the conclusion of that arc, but it is being held off until Part Two. While fans may be annoyed at this omission, in fairness to Funimation, 13-episode sets are pretty standard for anime, and for a long-running series like Dragon Ball Super (which currently has more than 100 episodes), breaking it into 13-episode releases is generally the norm.Those who saw Battle of Gods will note that the animation quality of the first 13 episodes is a pretty huge drop from the higher-budget animation of the feature film. While it does not look bad, the animation’s quality dip is noticeable by comparison. When the show aired in Japan, some episodes were even worse. This Blu Ray uses the video from the Japanese Blu Ray, which was cleaned up prior to release, so it looks better than it did when the episodes first aired on TV in 2015, but not great. As those who have been watching the series know, the animation quality gets much better after the first 30 or so episodes, so at least there is something to look forward to in the future.-XZero
THE GREATEST ANIME IS BACK!!! AND ITS ON BLURAY!!! And what a return it is… Dragon Ball Super has been nothing but spectacular and awesome with its animation, storytelling, flow, music, and visuals… This is what DB GT SHOULD have been… but as Akira and the Dragon Ball family/franchise has shown through Super… its NEVER too late to correct a mistake. I am so excited to have this on Bluray, and CANNOT WAIT… to get the remaining 6 seasons on Blu-ray as well… especially when the last season comes out later this year on Bluray, which features the Universal Survival/Tournament Saga, one of the greatest sagas/seasons in the entire history of Dragon Ball… and that’s saying a lot!!!-Karrissian Mickel
