Coincidence? I don't think so :D
Who was it registered by? If it was registered today it might have been anyone.

So is it possible for Funimation to stream the show subbed while it's airing in Japan? I don't want to miss out on episode 1 when it starts.

Yeah man, Simulcasting. Hell, Funimation just this year has started Simuldubbing shows and releasing them when Japan releases the show but with an English dub.

What's there to be concerned about? I still believe that Toriyama can tell good stories.

There's maybe crunchyroll which i don't really like and maybe Hulu plus, which got the new sailor moon anime pretty quickly, I doubt Dragonball Super will be left out, unless Funi says they want it only for there service.

How did you post if you are banned!? :wtf: Anyway, I seconded this. Please, may it be an adventure series. Enough of fights over and over and over and over...

I hope it more like the namek saga were the character are spread out, and while very much an adventure, the fights are still epic.

Animation quality doofus. Not only has DB not looked that great by modern anime standards and budgets, be we have also suffered from a lot of CGI usage ranging from horrible to shoddy at best and that was just in movies. I shudder at the thought of just how much CGI can and likely will be implemented through a series that will go on for who knows how long. If Super DBZ ends up looking like a DB Heroes commercial with poor CGI in the mix, id rather it not happen.

I have to agree with that other post, I kind of worried about a new series as well. About 90% of me thinks that this series will turn out great and the other 10% is a concerned that this'll end up being sub-par and make Dragon Ball and Z look bad.

Indeed. I was thinking about the classic Dragon Ball, but Namek saga is perfect in that aspect! :clap:

It's been 30 days since his last post. Ban over. He just have to wait till name changes.

I would love to have the tone of Yo Son Goku. Compared to BoG(Which was a boring light hearted tone) and from what we know of FnF/RF(Action pack with no middle). A nice mixture.

GOD DAMN IT! That's explains why it was taking me so damn long to get approved for those domains. Good on those bastards. FUNimation's going to pay them big bucks to reclaim them. Which was I wanted them. :P

Anyone curious on character designs?
Goku in his EoZ GI perhaps?
What outfit will Vegeta wear?
Teen Goten different from EoZ or closer to Future Gohan?
Kid Pan?
Bra?
Gohan's haircut

Designs of 12 universes characters if we see them?

Prediction

Oh, I see.

Yeah, a Namek saga mixed with Tarble's OVA and good action scenes, who knows even the using of CG? (Okay, know this isn't gonna happen xD). Well, this series has everything to be as awesome as the previous series... But you know, Dragon Ball Minus also had everything to be perfect, so I also have to be a little concerned.

I wonder who will work as episode directors for this series. Ueda Yoshihiro and Hosoda Masahiro have been working on One Piece for a few years, but they're pretty bad so I wouldn't want to see them return to the franchise. Karasawa Kazuya has done some nice work on World Trigger as of late, so he would be a nice choice. Koga Gou is probably available now that Disk Wars: Avengers is over. Shishido Nozomu was a regular assistant episode director on Disk Wars: Avengers, but he is also a trustworthy action animator. Hopefully he can director or do action animation here. Hatano Morio might be sticking with PreCure for the time being, but he would be a lot of fun to have, too.

Amazing.

It took nearly two decades, but we're finally getting another Dragon Ball series, and it's premiering in just three months! It's almost hard to believe. Well, I'm certainly going to ride this hype train with all of you. Time to party.
