"Dragon Ball Super" has been airing in Japan and fans in the United States have been keeping up-to-date via news online. There's no word yet on when the latest anime in the franchise is hitting American shores but those who are not on board the show yet would surely want to know what it is all about. 

Den of Geek made a special "first look" piece on "Dragon Ball Super" for those who have not heard of the new anime series or have not seen a single episode yet. It points out that for any Dragon Ball fan (especially those who have followed the series from "Dragon Ball GT"), this latest anime might ring a bell: not only does it bring back the God of Destruction, feline Beerus, like in "Battle of Gods," it also follows closely the storyline of "Dragon Ball Z: Revival of F." The only thing "Dragon Ball Super" might have hoped to achieve in recycling the plot is to "formally canonize" the story of the feline God. 

That may be a weakness of the show but that does not mean a reason to not watch it. The online review still calls it "good fun overall." The trademark Dragon Ball humor and Akira Toriyama fight scenes make "Dragon Ball Super" a must-watch for all Dragon Ball fans (and maybe some). 

If what makes the anime series a classic is not enough to draw people in, the crisper animation and the return of Toriyama to pen the script just might. The story might be a direct rip-off of "Battle of Gods" but the series expands on the events of the film, which might be another cue to watch this series. The aforementioned film only had an hour and a half to paint the battle between Beerus and Goku-turned-Super Saiyan God but the anime will be able to explore it a little bit more. 

Beerus is just the first saga, too. Toriyama himself told V Jump Channel that there are other future storylines and new characters, including villains from another universe.

Again, there's no word yet on when "Dragon Ball Super" will hit U.S. TV but it airs on Fuji TV in Japan every Sunday.
