Hopefully.

I'm also expecting a bunch of much needed changes to the F story, which I'm excited about. As it stands, it seems the BoG arc will be different with the introduction of Champa.

Yeah, walking to adventures that gave me goosebumps and the Bejita Vader son sparring.

Super has SSJGOD Goku and Mystic Gohan for you guys

I almost died. It's already my pictures. Such an amazing opening. I'll rank it top 3. It was good but the song kinda sucked.
The song is very good I like it.

It would be great if Avo and Cado were integrated into the Resurrection 'F' retelling somehow.

They get one-shotted by Frieza during the F arc.

It does seem like both stories will get retconned a bit.. the wholde deal with Goku, Vegeta and Gohan fighting off Freeza forces seem weird and maybe we'll get Freeza's arrival prior to Goku getting SSGod.
Okay that's very speculative, but you also bring up Champa, who does seem to be getting introduced already in this BoG arc. That press statement made it sound like we'd first get a mysterious new character after [F] and I assumed that would be Champa, but it might be somebody different.
Could be in one of the coming episodes, Beerus will return home from his planet desctruction Schedule and then encounter Champa and QWhis, who knows.

Because its without sleeves :lol:

Did anyone notice? The Super title of the opening resembles the old DragonBall anime title with the sun in the back. And are that Freeza soldiers? So much new stuff

We also gotta keep in mind that this is just an opening, just because those characters are fighting Freeza's men in the OP doesn't mean those exactly characters in those outfits will be fighting them.

It's good to see Toyo-tarou isn't bound by what Chioka Kimitoshi and the others do with their animated series. Now there's another reason to check out both.

I agree as well. I thought both the opening and ending were spectacular! The ending of Goku through the years brought back so many memories! <3 I thought both songs were pretty catchy as well. :)

I'm a huge anime fan but I haven't been this excited for a weekly series in a long time! I honestly can't wait until next weekend again!

Goku said we'd meet again! :D :cry: :cry: :cry: I loved the episode a lot! the opening and closing credits were awesome as well! Orange Star Hero is still my favorite but I liked that outro a lot! seeing Goku look and smile so awesome!
This is going to be a start to a great adventure! :D :thumbup:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Sorry, if this has been asked a lot, but I'm kinda confused at what's going on with this show. Super takes place after the Buu arc, but before Battle of Gods? If that's the case then why is Beerus showing up already? I've recently been promoted at work and haven't had the time to follow everything. No spoilers for Resurrection F is they're somehow included. Haven't seen it yet.

We're 6 months after Buu and doing a rewrite of BOG and F, and then after that it's onto a new storyline where the characters get to visit another Universe (#6) while looking for "Super" dragon balls. :3

I would imagine it will be out by tomorrow. Things take time if you want them good. Not even Over-Time can have subs out like a hour or two after the newest Kamen Rider episode is out.

Events are seemingly being changed to allow the story to take place earlier on the timeline, that way they have more room in the 10 year gap to work with for however long they want to continue the series.

That opening and especially the last shot of the ending briught a year to my eye no lie. I'm so happy right now. It looks so good! Eighteen years ago, the final words of GT were "Till we meet again guys!" Now on 2015, it's finally back :') 8)

Hm, I guess I'll take back what I said. At the very least, I hope the series is good on its own merits, because if it is, I'll be pleased.
