Yeah I'd take anything over those covers but Yamamuro's singles cover are actually pretty decent so here's hoping FUNi use them as reversible covers, or they could have this artist do Beerus as the reverse which I wouldn't mind as you have Goku on the slip and then Beerus on the case would look cool.

My only gripe with this cover is the generic font on the spine when the show's logo is already there.

Cutting off one episode short before the end of the first arc also bugs me but I guess that can't be helped.

Super Part one BD July 25th eps 1-13.

...Funi has an obligation to get Kai over with before they make room for their new Super home releases. It wouldn't surprise me if Vol. 1 of Super were to be released July 2017, but we surely won't be getting those releases as quickly as a month in between.

I just want to say, I called it :p

At least the artwork is more interesting than the typical "Yamamoto-pose" Kamehameha.

Here is how I see them releasing the next couple of sets:

August- Part 2 Freeza arc 14-26
September- Part 3 U6 arc 27-39
October- Part 4 SoL eps and start of Black arc- 40-53
January- Part 5 Black arc- 54-66
April- Part 6 Black arc and SoL- 67-79
July- U.S arc- 80-92
October- U.S arc 93- 105
...
Rest in that same monthly increment.

I agree with the Episode listings, but not the release dates. Do you really think Dragon Ball Super will have a monthly release (For the Early Stuff)?

Hmm okay maybe not 4 straight months then but I do think at the least we will get the Freeza arc in August and if they do the U6 arc in September then they would be caught up and they can do the normal 3 or so month increment after that. When FUNi got Fairy Tail they released the first 36 eps (12eps a set) 3 months in a row and then slowed down, so that's why I can see something similar happening here.

I'm liking that cover, way better than the Boring and repetitive yamamouro artwork, but still I'm not buying it,I already watched in toonami so I already support the official released ,I'm saving my money on dbs vol 1 and 2 and possibly ignoring vol 3

Which is why I'm waiting for the season sets.

Good call,I'm not gonna waste my Time with only 13 episode,I much rather have the full thing​,I wonder how long is going to take for a season set to Be fully released

So, um, if anyone can answer me a quick question about the Xenoverse 2 Pack 3 Twitch stream, https://youtu.be/6ms8LlcpB4E?t=39m20s, can anyone identify who's voicing Zamasu & did they have Sean do some different takes for Goku Black?

I haven't heard any good examples of Zamasu, though I haven't heard anything good so far. Schemmel took a vastly different approach this time, going for a more posh dialect. It's still not very good on its own yet, but I think it'll serve as a decent base for whatever Sabat and Schemmel decide on for the anime arc

Yeah, it's British for some reason. Yet Zamasu's isn't. That's the approach I didn't want them to take. It's supposed to be Goku's normal voice, just lowered in pitch, not a different accent altogether. Though since Zamasu's voice has an American accent, I can't get as mad at it as I would, but it still irks me.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Obviously, that won't work for the majority of dubs. A deeper version of Schemmel's Goku is not representative of Goku Black no matter how you slice it. It has to have an aristocratic poshness to it, which is best accomplished by tying to emulate a noble British accent. This is the correct approach for Zamasu as a whole, I think, not just Goku Black, though it still needs quite a bit of refinement either way if it's going to pass in the anime.

Zamasu sounds like Matthew Mercer to me

Thing is, where I'm coming at it is that the whole Future Trunks arc runs on a mystery on who Goku Black is and, while people can easily look up who it is, the dub should try to keep in line with that, at least until it's revealed in-show for those who don't know. A British accent would give it away too quickly if they were to give one to Zamasu as well, which I'm still afraid that they're going to give one to Zamasu when they dub that arc. If they give one to them both, it would totally ruin the surprise. My fear is that it'll kinda ruin the story if they keep it.

I just wish they had the game audio louder so we could actually HEAR the damn thing.

It'll still work for those who haven't seen it if they were both given the accent. Think about it, the entire arc leading up to episode 56 was already leading us to believe that Black was Zamasu, only to shatter expectations when it's revealed that Zamasu is actually his partner. This would have the same effect as using the time rings to go to Future Barbari and having Zamasu wear his Potara identically to Black in Episode 53, it's just one more indicator that will leave the audience dumbfounded once they get to the end of Episode 56.

I get where you're coming from, Nozawa's performance was integral to the anime's telling of that arc, but there's only one Nozawa. No dub is going to be able to replicate the original take perfectly, but they can get close enough, and I'm confident that giving Zamasu posh speak will do just fine to that end

Dude, don't come at ME of all people with how the dub can't replicate the sub 100% I'm the FIRST person who stands behind that mentality.
I know that the saga's full of mindscrews, but wouldn't letting Black have an American accent, at least, help with them? I don't really care if Zamasu has one, but I think it'd be better if Black didn't, at least not until the reveal. After that, if he slowly regresses to it, I don't think that'd be a bad thing, especially since that's where he & Zamasu essentially show off more of their xenophobic sides. Think about it, Goku's regular English voice & accent, just a bit more level & lower in pitch than normal, coming out of Black's mouth at first would be brilliant, then having Black slip back into the British that he had as Zamasu when he teams up with his alternate self would be great, especially for Sean, since it would allow him to show off his acting chops a bit more & it would give Black a bit of nuance, since he's supposed to be an evil Goku at first, then it's later revealed who he really is & he just lets loose as he & future Zamasu fight Goku & Vegeta. I think that'd be great for subtle acting right there. It'd keep with the Japanese performance for a while, then switch it up as the show does. Maybe I'm too hopeful, but that'd be great for the dub to do.

That's the thing though, Schemmel's Goku voice doesn't make for a good Goku Black at all. It's a really cool idea otherwise, I especially like the idea that he could slip into his posh speak as he goes into his self-aggrandizing speeches, but prior to that point, I just don't see Schemmel-Goku's voice working out for Black.

A version of what you're suggesting that I would enjoy would be to smoothed out a voice with only subtle hints of an accent until he reaches he reaches Rose in Episode 56, at which point he can be as flamboyant with it as possible, but I'm not even 100% sure that Schemmel could pull that off.
