I hadn't heard of "anime-only", that's also a good option. I may alternate between that and "bridge episodes".Skar wrote:Wow that's a lot of filler/slice of life! Some of my favorite episodes of Super were episode 1 and the SSJ Hercule episode so I hope these are kinda like that. I guess they want to make sure the manga catches up before they begin the next saga. When do you think that would be announced? Sometime in July or August?
Yeah I'm in the same boatChuquita wrote:I tried calling it filler in another thread and people were saying not to call it filler so I started calling it slice of life and now that doesn't work either?![]()
The only name I have left for them are "bridge episodes".. I think "bridge episodes" is good since it could include both filler and/or slice of life between sagas. I heard "anime-only" from a different thread and I like that one since it can include all the extra content between and during the sagas.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
In 2ch I've seen "anime original" or "toei original", for what it's worth.
Goten and Trunks will probably still be children since they were playing when falling asleep in Monaka's (space) truck. Also, no one noticed Jaco will be involved
he's the one to get Vegeta to planet Pot-au-feu.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
I wouldn't be surprised if we get lots of anime-only episodes between the main arcs. That's exactly what I was expecting actually, since the manga can't keep up at the moment, and seeing how they dragged the BoG & FnF arcs. The bad thing with Super for me is that it feels more like DB & DBZ, while I was hoping it would feel more like GT & Kai, in terms of pace.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
Why Goku only developed the Ki syndrome in episode 43 while he fought in episode 42 without any problems? I hope it's explained.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
I'm just as confused as you are, Sandubadear! You would think that the symptoms would be popping up now, not later. Without information from the next episode's story, it might be safe to assume this is another "Super Satan" period of episodes that are written just for fun.

*Hopes it isn't just another tournament arc right on the heels of the tournament arc that just ended.*
Omni King has me worried about that.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
I still don't think anyone should worry about that, it's pretty much just the same set up as going from the first to second tournament in the original series, we'll definitely get at least one arc between the tournaments. If the arcs stay in the 13-15 episode range hopefully we get 2 arcs instead of just one though, but I would love an arc to be in the range of 25-30 episodes.Chuquita wrote:

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
I hope the next major arc has to do with what was discussed or hinted at in toriyama/toyotaro interview. Then after than I'll gladly take the tournament.
Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
Betting that they'll reveal, or at give some hints for the identity of the "future-related character".I will be disappointed if the next arc will be Zeno's tournament, we need at least 1 arc with a villain before the tournament.
Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
The Multiverse Tournament should take place after the end of the series... Where the characters are more powerful than they are now, and it could present possibilities that aren't possibilites by now, as giving Uub a proper role, for example.

There will be 1 space vacant because of Monaka. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Buu are almost certainties to be included, so it could be Uub if it is set after the end of Z.Grimlock wrote:The Multiverse Tournament should take place after the end of the series...

We seriously need a new opening. Those bullshit 2-5 seconds changes they make sometimes is nothing to be happy about anymore.
