Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 45 /100

Critical reception for Super Dragon Ball Heroes is deeply polarized, largely defined by its nature as a promotional series for a card game rather than a traditional narrative entry. Proponents appreciate the show for its relentless pace, pure action, and 'hype' factor, effectively functioning as a high-octane spectacle for fans who prioritize combat over complex storytelling.

Conversely, detractors criticize the series for its lack of substantive plot, calling it bland and feeling more like a piece of fan fiction than an official Dragon Ball story. With extremely short episode runtimes, reviewers note that the show often prioritizes rapid-fire battles over logical world-building or character development, leading to a polarizing experience where the value is entirely dependent on the viewer's expectations.

“SDBH has little to no value as a story in Dragon Ball universe, most of the time it feels like a decent quality animation that adapted a fandom story written by a fan.”

“Overall, Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a great show... It’s basically all action with minimal plot and everyone is always getting beat up.”

“You get some good voice acting from the series standards and the newcomers seems to be doing a good job, but else seems to bland.”
