Have fun Us dub watchers will shut ourselves in a corner until Funimation announces something. 61 days till July!

I think you quoted the wrong comment.

So, when should we be expecting a leak from Jump about Super? All I need to know is when the series is going to be taking place, and then I'll be good.

Who knows. It depends on which magazine will cover the material. It could be in a weekly Jump, or it might be saved till V-Jump on the 21st (usually leaking important stuff a few days before).

[FortuneSSJ]

"VJump July Edition Released on May 21st, will provide the first look on Dragon Ball Super ."
"The series will start with 26 episodes, Which could be increased if the new anime makes a success or not."

This is just rumors popping up. But the VJump part seems likely.

If it has good animation and a good story then there's no reason to think it'll fail.

Has this sunk in with anyone yet?

It'll take a long time for that to happen with me.

Its Dragon Ball. it won't, anyway.
Kai is shittiest "remake" I ever saw and its always on top10 tv anime ratings, every week.

Super will bomb. No manga, no spoilers, unpredictable every week for the entire world.

When I say good I mean watchable not something that will win an award.

Based on what I've read the ratings aren't as important as the merchandise sales so as long as the games,toys,home media,ect. are selling then I think we'll get a long series that'll hopefully reach 200 episodes.

Kai isn't even a remake. It is the same Z, just with a new english dub, new openings, new music and cut content. I never saw much point in it. Though judging by Crystal's quality, I would rather have something like this.

This will be good. I am not sure about spoilers though, as information about Soul of Gold appears from somewhere, and I am pretty sure that during Saint Seiya Omega's run they posted spoilers in some magazines.

It's amazing how big this franchise is.

This show has so much potential to be a mega hit so hopefully they don't mess it up

The point was to make Z watchable with a dub that doesn't make you face palm every time someone talks.

I didn't actually. I meant that while he gets to watch and enjoy it in 2 months, I, as a dub watcher, will have to wait longer. (most likely)

That's unfortunate but true, just look at young justice (which is the ULTIMATE example of what you just said)

They could just make a new dub for DBZ. By the way One Piece fans actually did pretty good job with cropping One Piece anime series. They called it One Pace, and it is a completely free project. So it is not like Z needed to have something like this officially with fans being able to do the same thing.

Both Saint Seiya Omega and Saint Seiya Lost Canvas were cancelled because of this.

With all due respect, I don't really understand this. How would unpredictability make the series a failure?

I think FortuneSSJ was being sarcastic. The unpredictably of the show is going to be its main draw. Especially if actually set after EOZ; then all bets are off. Anything could happen at that stage.

Anything still may happen, as it is Toei and Toriyama who we are speaking about

[Tennessaiyan]

I agree about the unpredictability of Super. If anything, for me, it makes it more exciting. Albeit worrisome, lol. I definitely don't want any new, huge mistakes happening in the the storyline to mess up EoZ. Not that I LOVED Eoz or anything, it's just that it wouldn't feel right for the actual manga and anime to be completely disregarded.

I think you got it wrong.
I was talking about tv ratings and how unpredictability will be a good factor for this.

Fans wil watch this, and not knowing whats gonna happen in next episode, will draw other people curiosity too. Thus boosting the ratings.

Yeah, I thought that you meant exactly this Unpredictability is good. That's why I don't want Toei releasing spoilers the same way as they did it with Saint Seiya Omega

And this as well. Soul of Gold is pretty interesting for me for exactly this reason. I am just trying to avoid spoilers appearing in Internet out of nowhere.
