I just love Marco Polo conviction of Super taking place after EOZ.
Some things should just be a given.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

You wrote "Super is technically during Z" and "Super is not after Z when it is before vol. 42 ends." None of that was written as a possibility. You were making definite claims.

We don't know if "Super is technically during Z" and we don't know if "Super is not after Z" or if "it is before vol. 42 ends".

I think Newtype usually brings advanced information from the following month of running shows, but not for new shows that will debut.

Regardless, i'm positive we're gonna get more info before the next V-Jump is out.

A golf tournament preempts Go!Pri on June 21st, but said Kai (which airs right after Go!Pri) is still supposed to air that day. I think we're still on track to start on the 5th.

I think I found the current 2ch thread; if this is it, they're on their 123rd thread already. :shock:

Also there doesn't seem to be any new info in that thread as of me typing this, as far as I can tell.

Dragonball and Pretty Cure air on different channels (Fuji and Asahi), there are no known breaks on Fuji this month.

Many thanks. Didn't realize Toei used more than one channel, makes sense.

I hope we get some kinda update today.

If you write when it's easy to missunderstand. Should've written "if".

I wonder if Goku will met Pilaf again in the show? Goku hasn't seen Pilaf since the days of Piccolo Daimao (or the end of the 23rd Tenkachi Budokai going by fillers if you want).

So this just... actually... happened.

http://ar.blastingnews.com/showbiz-y-tv ... 21215.html

This web in spanish is actually calling Sumitomo a composer of great prestige.

it says:

"This composer of great prestige worked on the successful soundtracks of the latest movies of dbz. as was throughly stated from the fans of the movie. For example the intro piece for battle of gods is simply brilliant, a modern cover of DBZ'S first opening. It produces emotion for the fans as well as showing new fans something different from dragon ball kai (it's most likely talking about the kikuchi placement). The agitated adrenalined filled cues for the resurrection F movie are a strong asset when enjoying fight scenes."

LOL. This web page is talking like Sumitomo has reached critical acclaim with his work for the series. As well as treating Sumitomo like a Joe hisaishi of sorts XD

*I do admit I like his RoF score the best for the new movies, Freeza's motif is intense*

I personally think Norihito Sumitomo is great, sure his less serious tracks could use some work but they're bearable, and he is certainly better than Kenji Yamamoto both however are better than Shunsuke Kikuchi. (Though I have only heard his through Kai, it was okay but I hear the placement is awful so maybe if I watched Z w/Japanese music my opinion may differ.)

I personally disagree, I think Sumitomo is the worst out of the three like the general consensus, but I don't think he's at all bad, just needs to play it less safe and cheaply at times.

Agreed. Sumitomo is so forgettable. Even his better tracks I end up forgetting about. I don't like his return at all. Especially if we have to deal with the idiot who did the horrendous music placement in Kai. Sumitomo can do good...but also horribly wrong.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I think I like the music for the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi games the most. Shin Budokai and other Dimps games had good music too, I wish some of that would be transferred to Super. Too bad it'll never happen :(

Videoames and Anime are two different things.
If anything, anime soundtracks can fit perfectly in the series games, but the other way around?! Dont think so.

But somehow you made me go hearing this epicness again, so thank you.
