Super excited. New Amvs plot.

I don't expect a long series. 52 episodes.

I really hope the Anime takes place after the recent films because Beerus and Whis have really become two of my favourite characters from the limited screentime they've had!

Also, more teen Goten and Trunks?!

If they're going to do the 12 universes then this needs to be 200+ so nothing well be rushed.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

As excited as I wanna be, I'm also scared, cuz right now, I don't trust Toriyama after the last two movies he did, all of the inconsistencies and the unbalanced tones and tropes in them. Hopefully it'll have be a mixture of the first three sagas of Z, some adventure, some comedy and lighthearted gags(IF. DONE. RIGHT!), and the dark mysterious sci-fi tone that the Android/Cell saga had.

This is Toriyama's last chance to impress me, and if this does fail, I'm never supporting his new stuff ever again. I'll just go back to the old series.

Possibly. The press release does have Nozawa credited as the voice actress for Goten among Gohan and Goku.

The English press release says it takes place after FNF so they'll be back and I'm sure they'll have a huge role to play in the story.

HYPE!

Love what AT has been doing with BoG and RF, this is gonna be awesome. Hope it gets dubbed quickly.

About to read through the topic. Hope we get some info about it soon. I guess it is taking place after RF?

The way the press release is worded makes me think it's going to take place after the Buu saga but before BoGs, RoF, and the Tournament. It also mentions a villain being stronger than Buu. Well that's not exactly an intimidating thing if it's set after BoGs and RoF considering Goku and Vegeta are far stronger than Buu at that point.

Now, just imagine if you were to time travel into the past, interrupt this podcast, and tell them about everything that's happened in the past 3/4 years since then. It's insane.
Man, listening to them talk about Kai knowing a whole new series is in the works feels so surreal.

No, it follows the success of the movie; it doesn't explicitly mention it takes place after the movie.

I still don't believe this real. I've been sat at my desk writing doing this work for too long, so I'm going to take a break, walk to the store, come back, sit down, and refresh my browser, entirely expecting that this has all been some sort of strange, lurid hallucination.

I guess I am feeling a little sick today? Maybe I'm running a fever?

" Following the recent events
of the hit feature film, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Dragon Ball Super will debut in Japan in July 2015."
I think they mean the series (not the story) is following Resurrection 'F'. If the story was taking place after the movie, they would say that, not say it's after the Buu arc.

Seeing how this has now already been officially revealed, I wonder if Piccolo Day (May 9th) is intended to be the asset reveals? Like promo art and stuff? It would be right on the cusp of V-Jump...

Masako Nozawa said in the press release that she hopes the series goes on for a long time, which means TOEI probably has no ending planned, and will probably continue the series for as long as fans support it.

I wonder if Kanzenshuu will make a sub forum like with Kai.

Such a random number.

Tis isn't based off a manga... 200 episodes? That would take over 4 years..

Animation wise, what can we expect from this? I see the state of the One Piece anime nowadays and it makes me really sad. Can we trust Toei will put a big chunk of money behind this thing and give us quality production?

What is Toeis best looking show?
