"Dragon Ball Super" CONTINUATION - (Non) Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Konja7]

Here what I only think
1. Either ajay or geek only ask if it coming July instead of asking like “if it will air on tv in July” for lost translation

They said their sources don't know about the announcement days. Then these sources mean Super 2 will air in July.

2. It might get announce in June and air in July or announce in July and air in October either one

This is extremely unlikely. They won't announce one month before the premiere.

3. Just waiting on May 14th for this whole toei situation

In May 14, Toei will show its financial report. They don't announce new animes in this.

However, if there is a plan for Super 2 in July, they should announce this, before this financial report appear.

Now, it is obvious for me we'll get the announcement on some random day starting from now to May 31st.
Maybe on the next V-Jump issue.

Some people here lost hope pretexting it is too late to market the new series. But why ? 1 month or 1,5 month isn't sufficient?

And if the series indeed start with a Broly retelling it wouldn't make much sense to market it for months and months knowing that the film is still fresh in the audience mind and that all figurines and side-products wouldn't change in the slightest bit.
The Moro arc would still have 3-4 months worth of advertising.

The fact the marketing would last shorter than expected is maybe a hint that we'll get indeed a Broly arc.

For me, all can still happen until we reach June 1st.

Unless Super 2.0 is about to be train wreck, that's not how things work.

5. We are missing something that we don’t even know about

We're missing an official announcement. Without that there's nothing here.

[vashter]

When is next v jump?

Lol nah no train wreck it been pre production since last October - I’m not talking about announcements I’m talking about something we’re missing behind the scene of toei that we literally don’t know about

[Konja7]

I don't think they announce animes in the V-Jump magazine. The announcement of an anime usually happened before the magazine mentions something.

[sintzu]

When is next v jump?

It'll be out on May 21st with leaks starting around the 18th.

Why does it have to be an anime in production and not a movie? I remember movie rumors in 2017 and Geekdom making a video that there's no dragon ball movie in 2017, what if the sources are telling the truth and there is something in production, an anime, anime movie that is. If it's so "easy" to assume something such as something changing behind the scenes and the "show" being pushed back then one can just as easily assume that's a movie. This could be a miscommunication thing where a Japanese source said anime but wasn't particular about it being a tv series. I'm about 70 percent sure it's a movie in production and maybe it'll be announced in July and released in either December again or next year. This is pure speculation but i base this on the quite likely hood that it was miscommunication.

Ajay said It pre production since October on his YouTube video.. for some reason geekdom101 said December I believe on his YouTube I don’t know why it has two different month ?

Going with what people on twitter say is what got us into this in the first place.

I know Geekdom and Ajay are trustworthy to the fanbase but I've never heard of Ajay or really payed attention to Geekdom until the 2.0 news came up. Predictions and speculations that were wrong and repeated instances of a company outright denying their claims (not even vague replies, outright denial) is definitely not the proper way to introduce trustworthy people.

I get what you're saying, but considering how many sources independently told Ajay and Geekdom that Super was returning (15 for Ajay and 13+ for Geekdom, though I don't know if they share any sources) ... that'd sure be a lot of people either flat-out getting it wrong or deliberately misleading them.

Still, it is surprising that we didn't get that big announcement on Goku Day. I do wonder at this point if maybe Toei has pushed it back because it wants to retain the element of surprise? I did expect Geekdom to make a video commenting on the non-announcement, but there may be a reason he's biding his time: maybe he's been talking to his sources to figure out what's going on. At any rate, the waiting game continues!

Over 30 sources and not one knew about the Goku day blunder? Or was able to shoot down past predictions like the Jump festa before it came and disappointed everyone?

And all Ajay has to offer is a random picture? I'll admit, it looks too good to be normal fanart but that can't be all he has if he's so close to so many sources. Geekdom too. Geekdom hasn't even offered anything, as far as I'm concerned he's just a loud youtuber with an ego issue and nothing to offer.

The sources didn't say (and apparently don't know) when Super 2 will be announced. These sources just said Super 2 will start in July (which seems pretty unlikely now).

Ajay and Geekdom assumed it will be announced late April or early May, because it match the return in July (an anime starting in July wouldn't be announced in June). At the end, they though Toei was waiting for Goku day.

It would be weird for them not to market a new show for more time and even leave it out of their financial reports, which is their tool to attract investors and explain their strategies.

However you may be onto something. If the show begins with a Broly retelling for continuity’s sake (so that people won’t have to go back and forth between TV show-Movie-TV show to enjoy the full story) and to also include the deleted parts they have talked about so much.
In this case they would want to wait until at least June 5th before announcing a new show, as that is the day the Japanese Blu Ray comes out and they would want to maximise profits on that, and announcing a retelling of the movie might hurt the sales.
But this is a reach on my part, because in this case I wouldn’t understand just why they wouldn’t have released it in early May so that they can focus on marketing the new show.

I think that if the show is indeed still scheduled to come out in July, that they have been changing their marketing plans for some reason. Maybe all the involved parties couldn’t come up with a satisfying strategy for all of them? Maybe the timeslot hasn’t been finalised yet which is why Fuji TV is holding down the announcement?

Modern marketing strategies keep evolving, and as strange as that sounds it could also be that they hold out on the show’s announcement until 1-2 weeks before it airs. It would be very unexpected and unusual though, especially for Toei.

hey emperor nice tweet “they lied to us”, relax man damn

Feels like something i would read on HunterxHunter, but I would like to see this story arc animated.
