Honestly I'm looking at DMCV in relation to fan reception in the same vein as Dragonball Super. What I mean by this is that DMCV much like Super mostly due to it coming at a time where their was a "drought" in terms of canon sequals leaving fans starved to the point they'd settle for anything as long as it's something to quench their thirst(no matter how mediocre it would of been). Also both franchise has had a point in the series where most fans would probably want to ignore comepletely, DBGT and DmC(go figure I like both). I will say that I absolutely abhor DBS unlike DMCV and believe DBS is what we would of gotten with DMC if Itsuno didn't think to change things up like he did.
