    What's the meaning of this

    I know it's promotion and all but sometimes that kind of thing is annoying, and further more a dedicated short fan of the franchise I know about this one as the strongest anime characters are in the dragon ball verse that being Goku and Beerus but seeing the other contenders is about to blow out, I can't say I enjoyed the anime the dialogue was based solely on violence and throwing punches that counts as being strong no tactical maneuvers like other comparison that makes you want to keep going in the first place the bad thing with dragon ball is the none stop violence and fight scenes that just keeps coming until the end and actually there's really no end to it but for the rest of us glued to the Saiyan's way of life there's nothing wrong with that, you'll get that protector vibe from the strongest fighter in the franchise that's none other than Goku himself that's enough reason to feel the connection of why he needs to keep dying his hair just like Freida said in the fifteenth movie.

    Utterly bonkers (and only getting crazier), but it's only a promo so don't get your knickers in a twist

    As "Dragon Ball Super" temporarily ended with the Tournament of Power arc in March, fans were elated when news came of a new anime to hold them over until the main show returned. As pure filler fluff and glorified advertisement for the currently Japan-exclusive arcade game of the same title, "Super Dragon Ball Heroes" does its job but ends up being kind of a detriment to the rest of the franchise as it basically spoils us.

    Whereas the main Dragon Ball anime shows have time to flesh characters and conflicts out, SDBH's episodes are very condensed but somehow never seem to really cover very much. Episodes are overstuffed with characters, transformations and explosive energy blasting to promote events that happen in the game, but it all rarely serves any purpose beyond that; it's just fan-pleasing guff riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies. Luckily, the manga expands and fills in gaps. Remember that fetch quest for the Special Dragon Balls that Fu mentions in the first episode? The manga covers that and more, featuring more zany stuff like Hatchiyack fighting Majin Ozotto over a Ball.

    Watch in teeth-pulling awe as Vegito in Super Saiyan Blue (the most powerful one) boosted with Kaio-ken can't beat the bland Evil Saiyan Cumber's base form. The most funnily egregious example of a useless character, though, is Cooler, who joins the heroes' side with Future Trunks (who is similarly useless here), suddenly gains a snazzy new -- and 100% original -- transformation, throws a single punch, and spends every episode after standing on the sidelines doing sweet F-A. Combined with cameos from the various Super Saiyan forms, fusions, Ultra Instinct and so on, SDBH starts to feel like stuffing yourself on your nan's delicious cake until you feel sick. This is what I'd call high-cholesterol Dragon Ball.

    The animation and art style, overseen by Yamamuro, are bland, flat and unimpactful but at least consistent. The action often feels far slower than it should be. The fights are almost all boringly choreographed and samey with this lazy formula: punch-punch-punch, energy blasts, character flies out of dust, Kamehameha beam-struggle. Yawn.

    The show, as of this review, has covered two separate story arcs: the Prison Planet Saga and the Universe Conflict Saga. This recent arc has actually been a big improvement over its predecessor so far as it has a more interesting (but still insane) story, higher stakes and better animation. It's actually starting to explore concepts that I would like to see implemented into the canon story of "Dragon Ball Super" (Goku training under the Grand Priest? Sign me up, lol). Let's hope this keeps up.

    At the time of watching it I loved it

    Subsequent visits not so much, but than I had a moment there where I'll admit I lost interest in everything but Zamasu for like a few months, so bad time to rewatch it back than I'd say.

    Anyways isn't this where the whole Hearts X Zamasu fics came from? I love those, so it was totally worth it for those fanfics haha.

    We got a really hot new look for Zamasu, the heroes one is my 3rd favourite actually, corrupted 2nd and regular Zamasu is first, 4th is Fused and than Black dead last.

    I'll admit right now rewatching it after falling in love with Zamasu I noticed some things or like 1 thing ahaha, he and Black felt like two complete strangers, it didn't feel like the original B and Z from the anime or even the manga, I gotta say I was really disappointed in that. I'm not sure what went wrong but yeah disaster on those two fronts.

    I'll put it as a 6 because hot af Zamasu, fanfics! And because I used to like it and used to enjoy it.

    A Fanservice-Fueled Adventure with Limited Substance

    Super Dragon Ball Heroes, an anime web series based on the popular Dragon Ball franchise, offers an action-packed, fan-pleasing experience filled with epic battles and familiar characters. While it successfully taps into nostalgia and delivers visually impressive moments, the series falls short in terms of storytelling and character development, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

    One of the major strengths of Super Dragon Ball Heroes lies in its ability to cater to die-hard Dragon Ball fans. The series embraces the concept of multiverse and time travel, bringing together beloved characters from different timelines and universes. This crossover appeal allows fans to indulge in exciting battles and witness unexpected team-ups, creating moments of pure fan-service that can be highly entertaining.

    Additionally, the animation quality is commendable. The battles are visually stunning, filled with explosive energy blasts, flashy transformations, and intense choreography. The attention to detail in character designs and the nostalgic callbacks to iconic moments from the Dragon Ball franchise add to the overall enjoyment.

    However, the series suffers from a lack of substantial storytelling. The plot is often convoluted and relies heavily on time-travel tropes and deus ex machina resolutions. The narrative feels disjointed, and the stakes are frequently undermined by the constant introduction of new, powerful characters and abilities. The absence of meaningful character arcs and narrative coherence can leave viewers feeling unsatisfied.

    Character development is another area that Super Dragon Ball Heroes struggles with. While fans may already have an attachment to the established Dragon Ball characters, the series fails to provide significant growth or exploration of their personalities. The focus tends to be on showcasing powerful transformations and extravagant battles rather than delving into the motivations and emotional journeys of the characters.

    Moreover, the series suffers from pacing issues. The episodes are short and often feel rushed, leaving little room for proper buildup and character interaction. As a result, important moments and plot developments can feel abrupt or lack the necessary impact. This brevity also limits the depth of the storylines, preventing them from reaching their full potential.

    Additionally, Super Dragon Ball Heroes relies heavily on fan familiarity with the franchise. Newcomers may find it difficult to fully appreciate the series, as it assumes prior knowledge of the Dragon Ball universe and its extensive lore. This lack of accessibility can be a barrier for viewers who are not well-versed in the franchise's history.

    In conclusion, Super Dragon Ball Heroes offers a visually impressive and nostalgia-driven experience that will delight dedicated Dragon Ball fans. The fan-service, epic battles, and high-quality animation are the series' standout features. However, the limited storytelling, underdeveloped characters, pacing issues, and reliance on prior knowledge hinder its overall quality. Despite its flaws, the series can still provide an enjoyable ride for fans seeking more Dragon Ball content, as long as they temper their expectations and embrace the series' emphasis on spectacle over substance.
