Now thinking about it, maybe Goku raged because now he has to work as farmer instead of training !

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

OK, so I think I figured out the plot of the series. Goten and Trunks used the Dragon Balls to stay kids forever, and now they have to find a way to get them to their proper ages in time for the end of the series. Also, time travel shenanigans result in GT becoming a potential future like in Xenoverse.

What wrong with Goku bringing in some extra money for the family? I mean, being a Super Saiyan God is not something you would put down on a job application form.
Definitely something you can show in an interview. xD

But damn, I really do miss those days of Final Bout, The Biggest Fight was probably DB's last greatest intro song since, anything.

Oh yeah, Raging Blast's one was good too.
The Biggest Fight is my favorite, but the Budokai 3 intro song and Super Survivor are also good, imo.

Welcome to the internet. I saw people in the Dragon Ball Super vídeos complaining about the new animation. It's been around since 2008...
English is not my main language. Sorry if I make a mistake.

So much potential, so many possibilities... And this is what they came up with. Kid Trunks and Goten antics, even though they're only a few years away from adulthood. -_-

The cast WASN'T old at the end of Z. Gohan was in his late 20s, Goten and Trunks were in their teens, Goku and Vegeta and Piccolo were unchanged, Pan and Bra were little, Uub and Marron were kids, etc... The only ones who'd gotten oldish were some of the humans.

It looks like it's just a cash grab. Another shoddy rehash of DB cliches like RoF. :(

People are complaining now, but they will watch every second. I won't jump to any conclusions until i actually see the episodes. Only 3 more weeks everyone!

This is just a 15 second sneak peak, I'm sure the actual show will offer WAY more when it comes out. What we've seen are possibly scenes from the 1st episode and 1st episodes to a sequel series usually show where the character's are and what they've been doing. I have high hopes for this series.

First DB series in 18 years and people are whining just because it doesn't take place after EoZ.

Sigh :?

I stopped caring about age = physicall body appearences since many audio visual media can (ab)use this tropes to get away from that discrepancy, such as Younger Than They Look and Older Than They Look

It's hard to comment on what-ifs. The show could literally go in any direction - 300 episodes stuck between BOG & ROF or just 5 episodes of that and then skip 50 years into future. We don't know so we can only comment about what was shown in the preview. And what the preview showed was nothing but rehash so how is anyone surprised some people don't like it?

Fingers crossed there's more in the Monday website update because the preview today is literally nothing new

Maybe they did actually grow up, but look young

To be fair, that's exactly why they're whining. lol.

I would, if I was a man. ;)

But my girly girly self can't help but call BS on a teenage Trunks and Goten still looking and acting like they're fresh out of diapers.

While everyone is raging at how this is pre EoZ and Goten and Trunks are still kids (I knew it! :lol: ), I'm here wondering if Beerus personal pronoun would be 'boku' or 'ore'... :think:

Oh, and I think that shot of Beerus and Whis is just a representation of them when someone talks about them, its not actually them having interaction with everyone.

But Yaaay! they're going to appear :mrgreen:
I had my doubts but now I'm so happy :D :D

By the way. This is the short version of the trailer, as mentioned by their recent tweet and ANN's article https://twitter.com/DB_super2015/status ... 2353955840

Yeah people should just go back to whining about the logo....yeah...how dare someone have a problem. What's wrong with those people. All opinions need to be unified into a Dragon Ball Matrix.
