Yeah, it was pretty mid. I've no idea how much hype DB Super had, since it happened a bit after my time, but G5 can never match the first iconic Super Saiyan transformation, not even with all the marketing money Toei/Sueisha is pumping into this bitch. SS was a cultural zeitgeist that only grew as the fans aged; G5, on the other hand, seems to simply be the week's mass media happening, that will be replaced by the "next big thing" as soon as more content is released.
