Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Review

Dragon Ball’s latest cinematic outing is somewhat divisive due to its use of CG animation (and it’s use of the word “Super” twice in a row in its title… just me?) though what has at least got people to stand up and take notice in a positive way is an almost complete lack of Goku and Vegeta, instead focusing on the some of the other, long-neglected cast. Does the trade off work?
