BOG was unkind to my wallet. *Glances over at adorable pouty-face ssjg Gokû figure on her desk which was worth every last penny.* Image
Fukkatsu no F has been kinder.
Super is going to depend on its content/merch in terms of how much I'll be willing to spend on related stuff. It's already secured my viewership for the premiere with the brief summary it gave.
On hiatus.

At this point, even clone-of-Goku Goten would be welcome. I just want him and new gen around, regardless of their character design (like Marron who never grows up lol)

Are you referring to Ressurection of F?

Will we ever see a Super Saiyan mustache? Only time will tell...
I unironically want to see a Super Saiyan mustache in Dragon Ball Super.

If Super takes place after FnF, then as long as Goten actually looks his age, I'll accept any butt-ugly design they throw at me. His Battle of Gods design confounds me, he's only half-Saiyan, there's a limit to how long a kid can look 7. Same goes for Trunks and Marron, really.

I actually think Goten would look cool with facial hair.

Wonder if we'll see SSJ2 or SSJ3. Counting flashbacks and minor characters fighting.

I could see SSJ3 continuing to be a thing with Gotenks, and maybe Goten and Trunks.

That song.

I hope the guy from Yellow Monkey can do something similar.
Best opening song for a Dragon Ball videogame imo :thumbup:
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for me. Super Survivor is a great song.

After watching Hunter X Hunter I realised that having more of a focus on Goten and Trunks could be awesome (the MCs of HxH are like Goten and Trunks in multiple ways).

Buuut I doubt that's gonna happen. I'm suprised there hasn't been a trailer for DBS, I'm starved for info.

I don't think it'd word for Dragon Ball. It worked for HxH because Togashi loves putting his characters in situations they absolutely hate to be in. If Super has Goten and Trunks as main characters, I doubt it'd be at the same level of kid Goku's adventure.

I don't know how you can talk with so much certainty about everything, like you belong in the production team or something, but that comes off as really conceited. The truth is you have the same idea about their schedules as any of us, which is none.
Btw, Saint Seiya Omega wasn't announced until less than two months before the premiere. And the first episode (the first season, in fact) was far from a "piece of crap quickly put together". We've learned later it was in the works much, much earlier, including reunions with the original manga author, so that alone means absolutely nothing.

And people should really stopping comparing Super to Sailormoon Crystal. That's an online show that has no tv sponsor behind it, it's just Bandai.
Saint Seiya Soul of Gold (also streaming-only) looks considerably worse production-wise than Saint Seiya Omega (Tv Asahi), which is natural, comparing the staffs.
So it's clear at this point Toei has even lower standards when something isn't on tv.
