    They need the Garou arc and maybe one more to finish up to have enough content IMO.

    Right now you probably get 2 episodes from King + Blizzard, maybe 3 if you add in the Blizzard side story. Then everything's either Garou or Metal Bat. That's maybe 5-7 episodes. Unless they want to start taking the odd side stories such as the Police station they'll need a few more.

    That's just the manga though. The webcomic is a bit further ahead.

    They're adapting the manga on naturally a panel for panel basis so that really doesn't matter

    Yep, the hype was real. What a fight, totally made up for the pathetic squabble in DB Super.

    That fight somehow managed to surpass my enormous expectations. Holy shit that was so good.

    Was that the last episode?

    Regardless, that was really great.

    Of the first season, yes. There's a bunch of OVAs scheduled for monthly releases from now until I think July as well, but that's it for now.

    I'm really hoping they do a second season eventually, but at the rate the manga's going, it's gonna be a couple years before that's even feasible.

    Yeah, the manga's rate is really slow. But we will get more, eventually.

    The episode was impressive. I feel they skipped a few things regarding the fight but that didn't matter too much. The inclusion of the opening theme felt very satisfying to watch.

    The last few moments before Boros' death felt more significant, slower, in the manga. I'm not sure how the same could have been achieved here, though.

    Whoa, it's really been over three years.

    Season 2's first episode is out. It's not the dumpster fire some people were afraid it would be, but the animation did take a significant hit. I thought it was good still, but I'm far from majority.

    It was a nice episode nonetheless. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    Why did the animation take a hit?

    New studio with a completely different production team. The folks who made Season 1 were busy with a new project and wouldn't be able to make Season 2 for another year, so the suits behind it went "fuck it, it's gonna be a cashcow either way" and hired on another, less talented studio to do it for this year.

    That's a bummer hopefully it turns out good. I'll probably check it out when all the episodes are out.
