ICYMI episode two review here http://scottynewton.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/dragonball-super-episode-2-review.html           With my episode two review I asked the question of wether Super would set up a potential epic new saga or just being a nostalgia induced filler train and now that we've had two episodes reintroducing all of our favourite characters, it's judgement time.  Will the series take a super step forwards into new territory? Or are we going to keep sidestepping, while looking over our shoulder? Dragonball Super Episode 3 Review Hunt for the.... snore Well said Old Kai.           Episode three of Dragonball Super, titled ' Search for the Super Saiyan God' manages to do the impossible and have even less plot episode two, this time deciding to leave out the humour that at least made its predecessor watchable. We begin with Beerus still trying to remember the name 'Super Saiyan God', even though he said it multiple times in the last episo

Episode 1 review here if you missed it- http://scottynewton.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/a-worthy-return-to-tv-for-dragonball.html           After last week's lacklustre return into the realm of TV for Dragonball, anticipation and expectations were high for this week's follow up, titled 'Vegeta's Family Trip.' A lot of my criticism for last week's episode was that although it was a fun romp and did a good job of getting each of the character's unique personalities right, it did little to set up an enticing new series.

Dragonball Super Episode 2 Review Super Saiyan Dad That's so Vegeta           After his absence in the last episode, this week the main focus (or at least the first half) is, as the title suggests, on Vegeta and a family outing. Vegeta is having a family trip with Bulma and Trunks, going shopping, to

History           January 31st, 1996 was the date that Dragonball Z disappeared from TV screens, leaving fans with a Spirit Bomb hole in their hearts that the ill-received, semi-sequel series Dragonball GT and its pink monkey shenanigans couldn't fill.  With the franchise on the rise in popularity thanks to the hugely successful lines of video games, as well as re runs of the show,  two new short specials were created, 2008's Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return! and 2012's Episode of Bardock , although neither reached the highs or the audiences of the series. Dragonball is better when stretched out over a long series as it's the only way to get its ludicrously epic scales across. For the 25th anniversary came Dragonball Kai , a 'revised', remastered and recut version of Dragonball Z , cutting out on filler and giving us glorious HD, but no new content or sagas. After seeing the success of Kai, Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods the movie was released, finally
