"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[sayian_nation_]

I'd love to get the JP box set it's just so expensive

[Araki]

I suppose when Super gets broadcasted in other countries we will see the Blu-Ray episodes with fixed animation?

Definitely, that original broadcast version will become a relic. The first Hajime no Ippo series had a similar incident with a tv episode that is almost impossible to find these days..even though the American box had a print that included the tv version by mistake (does anyone remember that?).

[Doctor.]

I won't say it'll become a relic. It's all over the internet now. It's not the 90s or the early 00s where this would eventually be forgotten once the BD came out.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Sadly I don't think it'll go away completely either. I mean, we're still dealing with Bills, after all. There'll no doubt be at least a small portion of fans that will practically ignore that it was fixed, if only to continue to use it against Super as a whole.

[Blade]

If you do a Google Image search for 'Dragonball Super' I guess the scope of the problem is clear. The top results are littered full of lurid fan-art and unflattering screengrabs from the broadcast.

Toei have made a total branding misstep with their wariness and obliviousness to the overseas demographic which consumes the show whether they provide a legitimate avenue for such fans to do so or not.

I meant in the sense that it's likely something that will never be able to be purchased in any form of physical media. Give it like 10 years and raws and fansubs won't be that easy to find, as tv downloads tend to be replaced for the superior version over time.

It's highly unlikely that I'll have time to watch any of it today, but we already have plenty of screenshots of Episode 5 anyway. I don't know what else might be worth reporting, other than the menus.

Have they redrawn the Z flashbacks?

[FortuneSSJ]

More updates! Wow, they really changed a heck of a lot. Here are the high-res versions of the ones posted above.

Spoiler:

Very impressed.

Whoaa they really fixed all episode 5 bad shots. Still not a "perfect" animation but I can the see the difference. Thank you Toei!. Now I can finally leave the pathetic TV version behind.
I wonder if they fixed some errors in other episodes, or episode 5 just got special treatmenet because of all the polemic.

Anyway, I'm glad.

Was there anything in the other episodes that really stood out like ep5 ?

[Psykomatik]

Episode 9 anyone ?

[Sodhi]

Episode 9 had some moments that really stood out too. I hope they got fixed too. Other than that I am pretty happy

[Retan]

By the way whoever did the backgrounds for episode 5 gets a kudos' from me!! That's what I remember most about this episode outside the bad art of Goku

[shinmaru]

I'm very happy with these corrections, but I wonder if they changed more stuff like the BGM placement and sound effects? guess I'll check that out when I receive my Blu-Ray

[Sodhi]

I guess they fixed the spelling of Capsule Corp, earlier I am guessing it was Capsule Coop?

[danma]

Thank you Ajay for the images!
Wow, animators really like the motion blur
I can say that I fell in love with some of them. I guess this will be the version other countries will air, It won't be cool if they do the opposite.

I guess they fixed the spelling of Capsule Corp, earlier I am guessing it was Capsule Coop?

'CADSULE CORP'?

[Sodhi]

I'm very happy with these corrections, but I wonder if they changed more stuff like the BGM placement and sound effects? guess I'll check that out when I receive my Blu-Ray

I only know that resolution in blu ray is 1080p, which is higher than the tv version which is 720p.

[raulvalente]

I'm trying to get used to the announcements/new material dates throughout Super's run. Check if I'm right, please:

Sometime around the 20th we get a new manga chapter
Sometime around the 7th we get new episode titles

Am I correct?

Japanese TV is 1440x1080i.

That's correct. Manga chapter spoilers have come as early as the 16th, but the 20th is the better bet.

[DainIronfoot]

Evening lads,

I've asked this before but never seen anyone's thoughts on this. **spoiler if you haven't read Manga chapter 6**. I was imagining a scenario where 2 of Champa Sama's team are Saiyan females. One that resembles Chichi and the other Bulma. I thought it'd be interesting, especially after that bit about strong willed women and that Champa was thinking of getting Saiyans too.


--Cheers!!
