Guess this probably explains why Toshio has been relatively quite since the turn of the year.

I like how we're already complaining the end of the ToP is gonna be bad. We still don't know how it's going to end, y'know. It could easily end on a cliffhanger or with loose ends that can be tied up later.

We'll see.

Tomorrow there'll be an official announcement about Kitaro new "anime". Let's hope that it wont take Super timeslot, or be a series, and that all this "hiatus" or "end" rant is bs.

Maybe, it would explain the DB's broadcast is still under discussion bit. But at the same time I'd doubt they'd leave the series off on a cliff hanger if they're unsure on its future.

This is true. I do feel like at the very least they'll leave some plot points open(Maybe not necessarily a cliffhanger but just enough to leave room for a sequel/continuation)

Hell yeah, super's taking a break, hopefully this will help the schedule. The only way this could be even better would be if the series ended on a cliffhanger or hint something that may happen in the future :thumbup:
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

inb4 some people will say the ratings of the current arc are what caused Super to go on a hiatus in April

Finally the news I was waiting for! As a strong supporter of Super going on hiatus to get fixed, I'm very happy! I know I will miss my weekly Dragon Ball, but if all this means it can come back stronger than ever, then so be it! Now I'm very hyped about this tournament's finale: It's going to be absurd in terms of art and animation.

Even if it is taking a hiatus, that's fine because Herms clearly tweeted that "the series is not going anywhere", said by someone at Fuji TV.

Since it's finally confirmed, I guess it's finally worth talking about :lol:

I think Super going on hiatus, or ending and being followed up by a new series next year is fine. It's certainly better than stretching the staff to thin between the show and the movie, basically going back to the state Super was in the beginning.

If this helps relaunch Super, or brings us a new show actually well planned from the start, only good things can come of this. Not to mention it helping the movie be better than the last one. There's already some crazy good stuff in Super as it is, so just imagine what it could be with a normal schedule!

Also, it's not like we won't have what to discuss or speculate about, between the new movie info and manga chapters being released to end the Tournament of Power. Hell, the manga might actually keep on going if it's only a hiatus.

I mean, we all know the series won't die. The movie will make bank, so we will at least get a series of movies.

A cool way to go about it would be having a new movie every two years, with a TV arc in between. Basically, turn Super (or a new show) into a seasonal anime. The early arcs were short to begin with, prior to this current one, so just make them as good as possible!

"Super ENDING in March"... "There are no plans for the broadcast of a new DB show". Unfortunately, that's not a hiatus. Yeah, Dragon Ball it's not over, there will be specials, movies in the future but this is the end of DBS (or any other on-going DB show) and I'm very sad about that.

When Fairy Tail's first series announced to end everyone was similarly worried but then the episode aired and it ended with a "To be Continued" despite similar uncertainty when it'll retuen so could be a possibility. Hopefully they can negotiate a new broadcast within these two months.

Can't say I am happy about the news. It's already hard enough waiting a week for a new episode, let alone months if it even comes back.
Well, I guess I still have the dub and the FT arc is starting now so that is good news.
I do hope this doesn't mean the show is done for good. I also sometimes feel that I am the only person that doesn't care for the show to get past EOZ, so I am not sure how much I would like a new series starting. I guess we have to wait and see.
