It's so exciting not knowing what's going to happen. I was seeking out spoilers even back when I started watching the series so this will be a totally new feeling.

Finally the trailer is coming, ju 3 weeks before premiere ehh... Better late than never I guess.

It better be set post-EOZ. It's gonna be hilarous if they air tomorrow's Kai episode, then preview next week's episode that takes place 10 years later, then preview new show that takes place before that lol... A mess.

Majority of my generation didn't have internet yet when DB was airing here first time (99-01), we got most info from magazines. Not many huge plot-spoilers and people didn't care that much for them, we were most interested in new forms/transformations and excited to see how would they happen.

The Internet wasn't as big when most people my age were watching the series, yeah, but somehow I completely missed it as a kid and only got into it a couple years back...

Well, talking nowadays I just try to not read up Wikis of the shows I watch. I do it when I get super concerned about my favourite character or something heh. Not gonna be an issue this time ofc, there won't be extensive summaries for the next 100 episodes for Super :D

I remember I hated it as a kid :lol: Or hate is a too strong of a word, more like I was indifferent about it. Only got into it a few years ago because my best friend was into it. I got into it in a time where everyone and his grandma already knew about everything, so I never made a big fuss about spoilers within this franchise.

I haven't been really excited since the project was announced, but now I can say that I am. :lol:

I've managed to stay away from most spoilers about Resurrection: F, but this is another thing entirely: I'm waiting for the spoilers to come.

The form was revealed a few days before the film premiered, iirc, but the commercial was about a few days after the film. Vegeta's form was surprisingly well-kept.

So excited for Super now! I actually have no idea what it's gonna show. Hopefully we'll find out when it's set when this Sunday. :)

A reveal on the episode that Buu dies?

I sure hope somebody picks up that phone.

=P
I'm pumped for this weekend!

Your link just reminded me; I hope they play a snip of the OP during the ad. ( * u * )

I wouldn't be surprised if it includes a bit of the opening, it would make a whole lot of sense to include it.

I bet the trailer is only going to be bits of the OP and maybe one or two scenes from the actual show. Sweet SSjG, I'm really hoping we will get confirmation of post-EoZ or, as someone already stated, is going to be a little contrived to end kai with Uub, then start next week with "-BUT BEFORE THAT".

Considering the Super trailer is airing right before EoZ, it sort of does lead me to believe it will take place in that gap, rather than after EoZ. I'm probably completely wrong, but I see Super concluding the "God Saga" and Goku learning about Uub at the very end of it, creating a transition to EoZ. The 2nd season of Super will then finally take place after EoZ.

But again, probably wrong.
"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

I think you are reading way too much into it, it's airing after the episode where Buu gets killed, the death of the last villain in the original DBZ series, couple that with the fact that we are about 3 weeks away from the show airing it makes sense to show it now.

They have to edit the final Kai episodes to take out one of them in Japanese anyway, so they could slice in Super to clear its placement before showing the epilogue.
I wouldn't be surprised if they prepared the field for Super, with the narrator saying:
"Ten years have passed, filled with many adventures" [shots from Battle of Gods], [shots from Resurrection 'F'], [shots from Dragon Ball Super].

For all we know, they could even change the final lines of the narrator to something like "a new story will unfold, but not one we will see for now, as other important things have happened a few years before that, and it's time to unveil the mystery and take a look at the game-changing events that happened during those mysterious years!", even if it's just for the broadcast version and not the released Blu-ray.

Oh I can see all the outcry and complaining already, but on a serious note I am HOPING that we see Uub. That will show us when the series takes place and to be honest, that's all I want to know right now.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

Both years have their good points. I'll take either one.
