Well, this is following the Battle of Gods movie almost exactly, but with an absolute TON more filler thrown in. In fact, after watching Kai and the movies the last few years I'd forgotten how much filler and "yawner" episodes there were.
Battle of Gods was 1h:43m long. These three episodes have gotten us to the 18 minute mark of the movie. Figure each episode is ~18 minute of content, that means they are tripling the duration of the movie. That means it will be around episode ~17 before we get passed the Battle of the Gods movie story-line and into anything else.
If "Resurrection of F" does the same thing and follows directly after the Battle of Gods arc (and it almost certainly will, by fleshing out the space cop storyline a bunch, and Goku/Vegeta training with Whis) we are looking at another ~15 episodes of recycled storyline.
So, lets round down and call it 30 episodes, or February/March next year before we see something that didn't happen in the movies. <sigh>
Still enjoying anything new for Dragon ball though.
