Though if Super does indeed take place after the timeskip, then it is what it is.
Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Bra, Uub, Maron etc are all very young :?:

You could include Piccolo there, he is 30 at the end of the manga.

Unless 30 already is an elder by Namekuseijins standards. :lol:

The optimal place to set this series is immediately after F; the first episode should include a recap of everything that's occurred from the Buu saga all the way to F. However, the season should end with the introduction of Uub (i.e. a recreation of the final episodes of DBZ). Season 2--if Super is successful--should start where EoZ left off.

I don't feel the "God chapter" is over for them to go straight to the EoZ segment, but that's just me. We need some build up first. For example, some sort of tidbit that explains why Goku is still interested in the reincarnation of Buu. Also, a scene where he learns he's been reincarnated in the first place. If anything, that can be a major topic in the first season--the true origin of Buu, and his relation with the Gods and universe.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

The only characters that are really old post-EOZ are Bulma, Krillin, Chi Chi and Yamcha.

Again, my opinion. But apart from Gohan, they aren't the main characters. Goku is the protagonist. Name me any other manga/anime (apart from JoJo - which is about ancestry) where the protagonist is changed. It's all about preference, and opinion really, we're all different.

But they COULD be main characters. Gohan already was during Cell arc. I he could why not others? Since Saiyan saga the story has been carried by a big ensemble instead of just Goku. No one's saying Goku should be removed compeltly but he's not needed, nor Vegeta, to carry the story all the time.

I never said they were needed to carry the story all the time. But what I'm saying is, that Goku is the main character, and therefor (in my opinion) should remain a significant focus. I think they could be part of the main cast of characters, sure, but they won't be THE main character.
Anyhow, I doubt very much we'll be getting any information tomorrow, I think we'll be lucky to get a logo.

Considering Kami lived for over 500 years, he is young.

Anyone recall what url it was Toei registered for Super? I think someone mentioned noticing it a while back.

TOEI have done a very good job with the logo's, so I am very excited to see what they cooked up for Super! Not expecting much tomorrow, they still have two months to hype this up afterall. A logo/poster with a description will do for now, anything else would be too much to handle!

After having fun making that parody logo, I do want it to be a big stylized S. :3

I wonder if Toriyama himself will design the logo for Dragon Ball Super or somebody else in Toei will handle it.

Whoever designed this should do S logo

Kai logo is rather... "overcompensating". Way too big KAI part as if it was an actual high-budget remake lol. Toriyama logos are medicore, never was a fan of any of them except the Shenlong one

Even though its possible, doesn't make sense that Super takes place before EOZ.

- Its called Dragon Ball Super. Just like GT doesn't have the "Z" on its name, which makesit stupid if this takes place in Z timeline. Instead, thus should be called Dragon ball Super Z.
- It will air after Buu Kai ends. Kai will end with uub. The last ending already foreshadowed they won't change that. Doesn't make any sense, people see Goku going off with Uub and then next week go back in time.
- Super is confirmed to be DBZ sequel. A sequel takes place after prequel last episode, not before it.

-About Goku and Vegeta training with Whis-
There's nothing more than I need to see. In the end, Goku and Vegeta gained control of their god forms.
In EOZ, Goku changes his gi and Vegeta starts using earthling clothes by his own will.

In the future,they can show flasbacks about it, if necessary.
We got to know what Kaioken is, after Goku used it agaisnt Nappa and explained to us.

There's no reason for me to be stuck in these 10 years gap. And the main cast being old is not a excuse. Because that is only valid for the earthlings and we still have the new generation. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, Uub, Pan are all ready. Join Beerus and Whis to the mix. Gohan too if he wants.

And even the old ones like Krillin, Lazuli, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Bulma etc can still have their proper screentime.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Favourite old DB Animators: Masaki Sato and Tadayoshi Yamamuro
Favourite new DB Animators: Yuya Takahashi and Chikashi Kubota

This is a rehash, no need for it.
