I'm considering just reading the manga.

 Yes, I talked about dropping the anime before but this time it's for real.

I don't want to hate the anime I really don't but it keeps giving me reasons to do so. Between the illogical power scaling, lousy characterization (Goku, Chi-Chi, Frost are prime examples), mediocre-to-bad animation, and blatant pandering... it's a real bummer. I know the anime adaptations were always flawed compared to the manga but Toei would learn from their past mistakes however they instead multiplied them by 10 fold.

The manga, on the other hand, suffers almost none of the aforementioned problem. It honestly feels much closer to Toriyama's original image than the cheap imitation of it Toei has going on. Akira Toriyama even said Toyotaro and his manga is the true successor to his heavy-hitting manga while he publically complained the anime.

But as a die-hard Dragon Ball fan, I feel obligated to anything with Toriyama's label on it (especially with people pressuring me to like the anime) but even I have limits.

 The manga imo is pretty solid. It's consistently good. Not consistently amazing but at least consistently decent. The anime on the other hand is more hit or miss. It'll range from like a 3/10 to a 10/10. Sometimes it's trash and then sometimes the highlights of the anime are better than the manga's

I mean the manga has some "issues" with power levels here and there but they aren't usually a big deal it's just that they can be a little weird. We eventually work them out and things are fine again. The entire scale they're on in the manga makes a lot more sense as a whole though so it leads to less inconsistencies like piccolo being ssjg goku tier in the anime or cabbe being stronger than ssjg goku

Personally I think the best way to enjoy Super is to view both the manga and anime since I think it's cool to see two different takes on the story. But that's probably because I enjoy both of them to begin with. Up to you how you want to view super. Don't feel pressured into liking one or the other

I've gotta agree though that the manga feels more like how the series is supposed to feel. It's more of the sequel that we asked for. It's more gritty and fast paced. It's the same badass vibe I got from dbz. I do sometimes think it's the true successor to dbz. And like you said, because toriyama has a bigger role in making it, I almost feel obligated to read the manga

When did toriyama say the manga is the true successor though? I know he said that the anime producers using the manga rough drafts as a reference should keep them on track. Is that what you're talking about?
