Would you like to see Dragon Ball Super on The CW?

Post by Cure Dragon 255 » Thu Dec 08, 2016 9:17 pm

I really would. And with the knowledge that the Uncut version will be on Adult Swim, I see no problem. Sure, you could say "People would be confused and think Super is really kiddy and babyish" but I think it would be great! That way we bring more and more fans into the fold, like Bansho64 and simtek who grew up with The CW's airings of Dragon Ball. And Super is really no more mature uncut than edited.

I know its impossible to do that,since Saturday Morning Cartoons are deader than dead, but I would love to hear what Kanzenshuu has to say about this.

I'm one of the 4Kids grow-uppers and I... actually don't think it would work unless all of those CRAPPY... EDUCATIONAL... CARTOONS off the basic networks. If that happens, it would work. I have so much nostalgia for Kai on 4Kids and Vortexx. I remember me and my sister would fake fight with Goku and Vegeta during Dragon Soul. Blame the educational shows, then I would I like it.


Imagine Dragon Ball edited to be educational...

Girls don't have balls (or wieners), truly an important life lesson.

Anyway, as a non American, it doesn't impact me personally in any way, but it'd be nice if it did, because the more exposure the series gets, the more kids will be brought in as new fans.

I know right? It would be even better if The CW commisioned new cartoons to go along with DB Super!

The CW doesn't have a true Saturday morning cartoon block. In fact, Saturday morning cartoons no longer really exist. I'm kind of getting sick of this obsession with Dragon Ball airing on a kids network. Yes, it's for kids in Japan and maybe some other countries, but the market for Dragon Ball (and most anime in general) in the USA is teens and up mainly. Unless it's a toyetic anime, anime on kids networks here is a thing of the past. Do we really want to go back to the days of heavy censoring of anime? I know I don't.
Looking for these rare items/information:

Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB
Any information regarding the stations that carried the origin Dragon Ball in the USA
Dragon Box (any deals would be nice)
Shonen Jumps with Dragon Ball in them

Thanks for posting here. I really appreciate it. And Dragon Ball was aimed at kids until recently.
