Trivia
There was some controversy invoking "bad" animation, something Akira Toriyama agreed with. He sent out a manuscript to Toei, who is the only party that can change it.

Goofs
Emperor Pilaf's dog henchman has always been called "Shu." (Rhymes with "new.") But in the English dub of Super, Pilaf calls him "Shao." (Rhymes with "now.")

Crazy credits
The series title forms from the Dragon Balls flying through space, in a tribute to Dragon Ball (1986). The opening credits end with all the Z-Fighters lined up, in a tribute to Dragon Ball Z (1989).

Alternate versions
Due to executive pressure from the distributors, the Hungarian dub kept some of the now infamous French-derivative names and other errors from their old dubs of Dragon Ball (1986) and Dragon Ball Z (1989), which were originally taken from the AB Groupe's childish, mistake-filled French dubbing. (For the record, France has long since been using the correct Japanese names.) This was done to preserve continuity between the dubs of three series, however this also means that some of the franchise's signature words like "Saiyan" are never spoken in any of the Hungarian dubs. The old and new name changes are:
"Crystal Balls" for Dragon Balls, but some episodes do use the term Dragon Ball
"Star Warriors" for Saiyans
"Hyper Warrior" for Super Saiyan 2
"Mega Warrior" for Super Saiyan 3
"Songoku", "Songohan" and "Songoten" for Son Goku, Gohan and Goten
"Vegita" for Vegeta
"Satan" or "Young Satan" for Piccolo
"Hercules" for Mr. Satan
"Bubu" for Buu
"Kaito" for King Kai AKA Kaio-sama
"Genius Turtle" for Master Roshi AKA Kame-Sennin
"Chaos" for Chiaotzu
"Tenshin Han" for Tien Shinhan
"Macsek" (Pussycat) for Puar
"Special Forces" for the Ginyu Force
"Zsinö" for Ginyu, based on his name's French mispronunciation
"Dermesztö" (Froster) for Frieza
"Fagyasztó" (Freezer) for Frost
"Salat" for Planet Salada
"Kápszta" ("Cabbge") for Cabba
"Karfila" for Caulifla
"Kel" for Kale
"Hagymágyú" (portmanteau of onion and cannon) for Galick Gun
"Mindenek Ura" (Ruler of All) for Zeno, Goku nicknaming him "Mini"
the old "Trunk" was corrected to Trunks
"Gotrunk" was corrected to Gotenks
Vegeta calls Goku by his Saiyan birth name "Kakarot", while in the old dubs he used "Songoku" like everyone else (and "Kashalo" in one episode)
"Kamehame" was corrected to Kamehameha
Final Flash is called "Végsö csapás" (Final Blow), whereas it had no name in the old dub
Destructo Disk is called "Ki korong" (Ki Disc), while the old dubs gave it no name
The Holy Dragon Sheron is called Shen Long
Bubbles is referred to by name instead of just "monkey"
the names "Neptune" and "Shibito" have been abandoned in favor of Kibito-Kai, but Supreme Kai is still called Neptune after the old French misitranslation of his Japanese name
Elder Kaioshin is also called by his title instead of simply "master"
"Dolong" was corrected to Oolong
"Yairobe" was corrected to Yajirobe

Dragon Ball Super I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Dragon Ball Super does not go into full blown action packed episodes from the start unlike it's DBZ counterpart. It starts with a more funny and story based start and I like it cause newer fans can get use to the characters. It's been 18 years since the last episode of DBZ and some people didn't get the chance to watch DBZ or know all it's characters but they can now.I use to hate it when people said that DBZ has no story and is all action right off the bat but now DBS shows how the characters are developing before the big battles arrive. The starting is amazing for both old Fans and new ones.

The music is enjoyable but I believe Signing Bruce Faulconer as the composer can do wonders to this series. The action will probably be like 'Revival of F' and I have no problem with it cause the one thing DB excels at is it's awesome fights. Though one thing I heavily hope for this series is to not bring villains who regenerate and to use it's human characters more.

Otherwise it is still an awesome nostalgia packed series for it's old fans and is also an awesome series for new ones.
