Guys, it's definitely not about the BoG movie.

"Also, if Funimation Facebook page hit 1 million people then they will announce a new awesome show. #Akon #Funimationpanel "

It's gonna be a new show. This could still be DBZ related, but I highly doubt it's the movie judging by this tweet.

Hmmmm, I'd say it's going to be one of these things:
- An Official Announcement for the Buu Arc of Kai
- More Dragon Boxes
- Battle of Gods

- Nothing to do with Dragon Ball




- One Piece "Gotta Go" Edition Box Set. :P

EDIT: Ah, never mind then.

That's the thing...how legit is that tweet? Could they just be assuming a new show because they didn't think of the movie?

Shout Factory released the third Series, and is going to release Ultra Q, but I get what you mean.

The Tweet in question is from a guy with his head on straight. If anyone flubbed it's FUNimation.

No it could not be the "official" announcement of Kai's Buu arc as well, complete with air date.

My money is on some sort of popular anime license rescue.

A new show? Lame. It'll probably be something I've never heard of and/or don't care about. If it's not Dragon Ball-related though, it'd be nice to hear something about One Piece Strong World.

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.

I would (and a bunch of old friends) would be pretty excited if it was a BOG's announcement. It only makes sense with that studio picking it up in Latin America. But I'm sure it will be something else..sigh.

They could actually be given 4k likes very easily, but I'd rather not say how in this thread. PM me if you're interested in knowing.

It could be something Dragon Ball related, like more Dragon Boxes/Buu Kai saga/Battle of Gods, but if it's over licensing a show for getting that many likes, I probably suspect them getting the rights for Sailor Moon (which they've been trying to get for years now) or some other popular anime that hasn't gotten licensed yet for a North American release.

Of course, I'm not an expert of predicting things, but I'm just throwing in my two bits on this situation. However, it would be cool if it was more Dragon Ball related material.

Obviously it's the announcement of the licensing of the 2006 classic, Bartender.

Jason Liebrecht for the lead.

The limited edition release comes with a bottle of Pimm's Cup.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Or perhaps it's the rest of the missing episodes that were never released uncut in 4:3 as a special package deal named the "We're Sorry! Edition".

On a serious note, it better be worth the hype. BOG would be great to hear.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

DB related things I can think of.

A new DBOX.

BOG license (though I think that's kind of unlikely).

DBOX reprint.

Continuation of the Level sets.

A dub of that crossover from back in April.

Non DB things.

Them getting the rights to Sailor Moon or the new series that's coming out this year or the next.

Evangelion 3.0 announcement.

Something to do with the Fairy Tail movie.

Bandai rescue.

It's not anything DB related according to the recent tweet, my money is on a license that expired to some other anime awhile ago.

I was actually going to make a thread about this but it's rather unlikely this "new show" will be Dragon Ball related. It's probably another anime series altogether.

If it's the announcement for a new series or movie then I'm still expecting it to be something big like Sailor Moon or Evangelion. I doubt they would build up hype for "now that we have 1000000 likes we are proud to announce the licence for some random 13 episode high school girl anime that nobody knows about".
