So, Dragonball Super. First episode was pretty good!
This episode basically served to be a "Where are they now" kind of deal, which is alright. Goku was told by Chi-Chi to have a job for six months before he could go train with King Kai, Goten is being home-schooled, Mr. Satan was given the World Peace Prize for saving the world from Majin Buu (The wish from Shenron was to erase Good Buu from the people's memory, everyone just assumes Kid Buu was the one all along.) and people think Good Buu is an alien disciple of Mr. Satan's, and Gohan and Videl are engaged and living in a house Mr. Satan built.
Gohan is rather upset that Videl is able to buy Gohan all sorts of things like that book while he can't do the same for her, but she doesn't mind in the slightest. Goten, however, wants to get Videl a wedding gift, and has Trunks come along. Engagement rings were much too small, and cosmetics cost well above their allowances. But, they overhear the old man complaining that the hot spring water that he can get for free is a much better skin smoother/cleanser than the lotion costing 6,000 Zeni. The two kids head to where the old man told them the spring was at and got the water while fighting that giant snake, and head back to Videl and give her the cosmetic. She realizes it's just water but enjoys the gift nonetheless.
Goku and Goten are found by Mr. Satan, who went to Chi-Chi looking for the two of them. He gives Goku the suitcase filled with the 100 million Zeni that comes with the World Peace Prize, which Goku immediately tries to decline, saying that Mr. Satan deserves it more than he does. But, Mr. Satan feels guilty taking the cash prize, and Vegeta had already declined the money, and the Briefs were wealthier than Mr. Satan was anyway. When Goten tells Goku that with the money, he could go train with King Kai, he finally and reluctantly claims the money, and Mr. Satan only asks they keep this transaction a secret.
Chi-Chi is overjoyed with the money, saying that now she can provide Goten with the best teachers around. Goku asks if he can go train with King Kai now, and she lets him, only asking that he come home every once in a while. Just as Goku leaves, Master Roshi dashes in out of nowhere, asking if Goku really did get 100 million Zeni, and that if he did, they could buy "many 'interesting' DVDs" with it. Chi-chi kicks him out of the house for that remark.
Meanwhile, on the Kaioshin planet, Kibitoshin notices that another planet had been destroyed. Beerus, God of Destruction, had been there, and blown it up. In the manga chapter of this episode, Beerus blew the planet up due to being threatened and being fed poison. Here, he enjoyed the drink, complimenting it's salty taste, but condemned the greasy food, and so decides to blow up "only half" of the planet.
I feel like this episode was an attempt to see what they could do with the new and improved animation in an episodic series. It's not quite up there with the BoG movie, but stuff like Goku's Instant Transmission to catch the tractor, Trunks's fight with the snake, Mr. Satan's flashy scene with the press, and the close ups on the woman's and Videl's cheeks are good indicators of the level of detail this new series can provide. We'll see what happens from here.
