I suppose the strange and wacky world of copyrights prevents them from really reusing actual animation frames from the movie as they had wanted to. sparsely paced, and I personally am not 100% sure why they don't actually just reuse some of the very crisp animation from the movies instead of redoing it (and sometimes somewhat failing to match up to the epicness of the movie scenes). And, well, Dragon Ball Super's version is far more. The stories boil down to essentially being the same, but I ended up checking it out anyway while playing Pokemon to see what it's all about. So the first two big arcs of Dragon Ball Super, the long-awaited sequel to the quintessential shonen anime/manga juggernaut Dragon Ball Z, is based on the two 'canon' movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection F (I reviewed both movies in the past), retelling the plotlines of the two movies in the form of anime.
