"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Neon Z]

Is it Toei fucking with DBSH? I'm smelling a announcement in Jan 10th same how Kitatio (however you spell it) that replace super that time but it was wide press release, someone told me that.

Would you please reword your post? I don't think I understand fully what you're trying to say.

Asking if they are the one doing the Dragon ball super hero show that is 10 mins per ep in a monthly advance

Yes, they're the ones who animate the Heroes shorts. But they're just shorts with no stable schedule, so they shouldn't get in the way of the series.

It's already been privately confirmed/discussed that a new anime is in the works. It has been said that the anime has been in production since at least October. The anime should be announced soon, and should most likely air in April.

Hmm Idk unless they lie to him, edit: he mention a voice of vegeta from Italian, even voice of vegeta claim it was false information that was spread out.

It's all marketing strategy. They have a movie literally a matter of weeks away from releasing internationally, if they announced Super's return to TV, that would dominate discussion, and they don't want that.

I feel April is too early, Kitaro will run for 50+ episodes, I suppose it could tie up at 51, but I feel July is better, and that also gives them sufficient time to distribute Broly further, and provide more much needed pre-production planning.

DBS started in July and I think the international release wasn't until August.

Merry Xmas everyone, so far I been gathering some information a little bit so far I don't have 100% of all of it... at the moment

-Heard there was a per-production since October from a youtube name AnimeAjay

-Geekdom101 who went to red carpet during DB:Broly movie premier and met head of director of DB for Toei. (he admit that on youtube)

-There is a chance DB could be returning on one of those month - April / July / October (Geekdom101 mention those 3, AnimeAjay said April as he believe.)

-Jump Festa was weird as fuck, even day before that happened Toei (I believe?) pull DBFZ game out of tournament and banned for whatever reason

-According to AnimeAjay mention about "Time Slot" for DB to fill room to aired 9am in Japan while it would be like 6-7-8-9 pm in US (not sure for other country time)

-Geekdom101 mention in his youtube that head of DB director Akio Iyoku met Toriyama earlier last week (just before Jump festa was around the corner) must've know something going down.

-Kitaro show was taking DB slot since around March where 130 ep was the end, however that show still airing until July 2019 according to AnimeAjay

-there is a tweet from AnimeAjay mention on Jan 2, 2018 that Kitaro was announce by Toei that it taking super time slot, so I believe it might get announce in Jan, however there is some another even going on Jan 10th said by Geekdom101 and I don't know what the name of the damn event if anyone knows what it is?

-the VA in Italian found out some rumors spreading he said that DB is in work which he claim it wasn't.

So far this all I have gather if I'm missing something feel free add it up... HOWEVER I've heard something about french won't get their broly movie in march? can someone confirm that for me? if that is true then DB won't be back for April but could likely be back July that if it get announce, right now it a clusterfuck mess going on.

If memory serves, it was announced just a couple of weeks before it aired. In June? Anyway, the international release only happened when Daisuki.net added DBS to their list, and by that time it was already done with the Future Trunks arc. This is actually one of my main concerns when it comes to a new DB series. Who is going to stream it? Does Crunchyroll have to renegotiate? I know the U.S. has Funimation, but for the rest of us....

[sangofe]

Yes, France is getting Broly on the big screen in march.

Indeed. One could argue what's the most profitable moment. I rather see it as a chance for the new anime to profit from the promotion / reviews / talks about the movie than the movie getting less attention because of it. The movie at its turn could profit from the announcement of the new anime. The two announcements could perfectly strenghten each other.

I mean, a few days to weeks after the premiere, IS a very good moment, all eyes are set on Dragon Ball, there are interviews, journalists are talking about it ..., if they 'could' mention a follow-up anime in their reviews, what better promotion would TOEI have? If they get the main stage of Jump Festa, they might as well use it to promote the anime if it's coming anyways. For some people, the movie may be more appealing knowing there is an anime following straight ahead and this renewing style will get an immediate follow-up up during a full-running anime.

A few months before the premiere of Broly, it 'may' have distracted attention from the movie for 'the main audience', now i don't see any real fundamental objections to announce the new anime on JF, in the contrary. If they have started in October with preparations, they probably are on schedule, that wouldn't give a real objection either.
Unless, they are teasing us on purpose without actually showing anything, hoping to gain a bigger effect within a few months.

For all clearence, i am not saying here Ajays sources aren't correct or anything like that.
The man was surprised himself, he knows more than we do what's going on behind screen.
I have taken notice of this at first sight irrational behaviour which surprised the community and trying to give some explaination, to a behaviour which is in reality of course very rational, as there is a very well-thought marketing strategy behind this all.

Of course he would claim that something he said that he wasn’t supposed to say was just a “rumor he heard, nothing official” as he said.
Ajay said that other distributors told him of a new anime in the works, so it’s clear there will be a return of Super but the question is: when?
The distributors already being in talks with Toei is fucking awesome though, maybe this time they will actually try to have simultaneous dubs. That would definitely be the best move for everyone involved, as the dubs aren’t as popular as they could be because of people watching subs and some countries block Crunchyroll so people have to watch illegal streams, or people do it because they don’t want to pay for a subscription.
Just digit Dragon Ball Super episode x on YouTube and see just how many views some of the illegal uploads have.

I have no idea and that’s probably something Ajay can’t tell as it may be a way for Toei to get back at them if the contacts with the various distributors happened in different times, and if only few distributors have been contacted so far.

Lol I like how or somehow AnimeAjay get access to Toei's staff or whoever he get info from that is connect to Toei, while Geekdom101 get different way of it.

Nah, it was late April or early May and it will probably be on Hulu this time around. Although I just hope Toei doesn't take all year like last time.
