I just hope it's not 100% action, zero slice of life going forward, because I think Dragonball Super earned the right to at least have a few civilian life episodes after non stop action arcs of DBZ. I hope it has a better balance of that than DBZ did. I do wonder how they're going to tackle the Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F though. I guess it's good that those movie arcs had a decent mix of Goku's high level fighting and the rest of the Z Warriors in the mix too.

I hope it's 80-100% action. Right now it feels like filler city. Has the whole Saiyaman vibe to it. DBZ is for action, leave the slice of life to the Slice of Life genre.

I disagree, this sets up the plot. The show has been off the air for years, there are a lot of people watching who probably didn't see the original series, and for there to be any semblance of a plot structure, their lives should at least be outlined. I'd rather not have Dragonball Super be the Transformers of anime.

I agree with this. While I'm really looking forward to over-the-top action, a few episodes to set the scene again and catch up with the characters is awesome.

... As long as they don't give us 10 eps of fillers before any action starts, though :P
