How to Watch and Read Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Super’s anime might be complete for now, but you can now find the anime’s entire run now streaming with Crunchyroll. They hype Dragon Ball Super as such, “After 18 years, we have the newest Dragon Ball story from creator Akira Toriyama. With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as…a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?”
The Dragon Ball Super manga has taken the story far beyond the events of the Dragon Ball Super anime, and is even currently working its way through an adaptation of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie. This new arc will be showing off a whole new take on the Dragon Ball Super movie, and you can catch up with each of the chapters through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library.
