I think the linchpin of whether the show succeeds on a large scale is going to be Cruz. If he becomes a punching bag for the fans as a sort of whiny counterpoint to the other strong characters, there's only so far the show can go. If he has a real character arc an becomes someone who can stand up for himself, things could get really good. It's worth noting (and I'm not suggesting a ripoff, merely a valid comparison) that it was Simon that had to carry TTGL for 27 eps, not Kamina. If he hadn't been the great character he was the show would never have advanced past "pretty good". I'm not saying Cruz has to go all super-saiyan next week, but let's hope we see some real development.
