"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Noah]

Ain't it about time Funimation came out with something? Don't they have to release Kai 2 first before doing Super and they haven't even got started on that yet.

Why is taking so long for Kai 2.0?

There's been rumors about Toei holding out for a TV deal, but nothing solid.

Sorry if I'm late, but Toonami Asia tweeted today about when they're aiming to release their dub: https://twitter.com/ToonamiAsia/status/ ... 0943182848

Edit: Looks like it was about fifteen minutes ago. Huh.

Supposedly it's the Ocean dub. I've heard a lot of rumors lately about why Funimation hasn't gotten the dub yet, but from the outside looking in, it appears that Funimation is dropping the Dragon Balls big time. I mean, dropping the ball big time.

Can someone translate what does it says, specifically about DB? The person who posted this image said this
関テレワンピ 4/3からフジ同時に
DB超も4/10からフジ同時
4/3と4/10はﾌﾟﾘｷｭｱ×DB
However I cannot tell what they are saying through translators.

Seeing "Precure x Dragon Ball" makes me think crossover, but there's no way I could be that lucky (Precure gets Toei's best animators and a good schedule).

What I fear it might be is Precure changing timeslots or DB changing timeslots so they're on at the same time which would be bad for me because that would mean I couldn't watch both live anymore and world have to choose which.

What time is Precure on ? Japan time.

8:30 am every Sunday

It says Super and One Piece, starting from those dates in Kansai TV, will air at the same time as Fuji TV. As for Precure and DBit probably is saying they overlap on those dates.

[Araki]

That's rebroadcast information outside the Kanto area (where Tokyo is). It's of absolutely no concern for us living outside Japan.

In fact, even the live viewership ratings we get are limited to Kanto.

Most likely. Super will probably be out by 2017 in the US at this rate. At least it gives Funimation time to give them a good dub. Most fans here in the US will probably keep on waiting since they are not into subbed DB like we are.

No idea. We still have yet to see the Majin Buu arc in Dragon Ball Kai voiced by the dub. They went out of their way to dub the two new movies though, funnily enough.

Movies and TV shows have different licenses to them.

Obviously. Though it is still odd how FUNimation gets the rights to Dragon Ball Kai, then doesn't finish it...

They have finished it. They just haven't been allowed to release it yet

^Which is even more odd, but /shrug

I just noticed that Zarama's name is likely a pun to salamander.So i expect him to have a lizard-like design.Maybe the unused design for Beerus in BOG ?

Zarama’s name is likely derived from “salamander”, a group of amphibians typically characterized by a lizard-like appearance. The salamander is mythologically associated with fire, especially in Japan, and thus is often associated with dragons as well.

Well I'm not really into subbed version either, I just want to know what happens. I like sub but my heart has always been with the English cast

I'm kind of hoping he does have lizard!Beerus' design; they never did release the artwork of those earlier designs (both him and Yamamuro's ssjg).

So the ki blasts have really been bothering me and I haven't realized why until now. They used to be like beams that are rounded at the top, but now they're just circles. Imo it's really ugly and I wonder what's the reason for that? Would beams be that much harder to animate?
