Dragon Ball Super
Synopsis
Seven years after the defeat of Majin Buu, Earth is at peace, and its people live free from any dangers lurking in the universe. However, this peace is short-lived; a sleeping threat awakens in the dark reaches of the galaxy: Beerus, the ruthless God of Destruction. Disturbed by a prophecy that he will be defeated by a "Super Saiyan God," Beerus and his angelic attendant Whis search the universe for this mysterious being. Before long, they reach Earth and encounter Gokuu Son, one of the planet's mightiest warriors, and his powerful friends. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Audience Consensus
Dragon Ball Super is a highly divisive series, especially when compared to its predecessor, Dragon Ball Z. While some appreciate the new elements, character development, and comedic aspects, many find the animation, story, and power scaling to be significant flaws. The series is criticized for not living up to the legacy of DBZ and for a perceived decline in quality.

- Inconsistent power scaling
- Weak story / plot holes / retcons
- Recycled movie arcs (inferior versions)
- Character regression (characters becoming shallow)
- Censorship (lack of blood)
- Lazy designs of new transformations
