I don't mind the slice of life in episodes, but not whole episodes that don't contribute to the plot. I don't even care about the fighting either. I just hope we can hurry up and get to the point. I't's bad enough we're already stuck retelling the movies. I just think they should wait til later on to make these kinds of episodes, we don't even know how well the series will do yet. I do realize character development is important, but there are other ways. But after some time into the series I definitely won't mind slice of life episodes. Although, I think they should at least be about the supporting cast since we already know the main story will be mostly Goku and Vegeta. Would be nice to see the rest of the cast doing something at least instead of getting squashed. :problem:

True. I guess I'm just excited that this is actually happening within the canon series itself rather than in a movie or... GT :sick:

Looks like we will see more Goku training, please dont repeat the 10 tons BS.
So the second episode isn't focused entirely on Vegeta's family? Kinda disappointing, but it will probably help keep a good pace to the show by showing some Goku training.

Looking how episode 2 is a Vegeta's family episode (Yes!!! :D ) and episode 1 is somewhat a Goku and Goten episode, I wonder if we will get a Krillin and 18's episode :3

I would love to see that, but I doubt that would happen. They're probably only going to focus on just the two "popular" families for two or so episodes.

It would be cool but even if they haven't, Krillin/Lazuli scene in ROF just took the gold for me. :wink:
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Vegeta's facial expressions are pure gold comic relief. Just imagine the amount of "Vegeta is not impressed" memes we'll get after this! :lol:
(Well, I'm not sure whether he'll really be bored the whole time but this is Vegeta we're talking about...)

In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".

Oh man! I'm really excited for this episode! But I can't help but have this little nagging feeling that it will not live up to the high expectations we have set for it. XD

He'll either be bored or filled with unspeakable rage. I hope it switches back and forth and Bulma nags him for it!

I second this SO much. I'm so grateful that Toriyama is involved, or else we wouldn't get gems like these.
Oh please. Toriyama isn't the only that's given us gems like these.

But of course, GT was so bad it doesn't count.

It probably won't. Even if it just ends up being a small part of the episode, it will be fun anyways. But I can't help but be hyped due to the episode title x)

No. For anyone expecting news from FUNimation out of this in conjunction with Anime Expo (which I wouldn't hold my breath on, honestly), according to the convention's schedule, FUNimation's main industry panel is Friday, July 3 at 3:15 p.m. western time.

I have a feeling that Vegeta's family resort trip isn't going to go as planned. In that pic of Vegeta with his blue shirt, imagine he is gazing upon the rubble that was once the resort. Beerus destroyed it before they even got there because they didn't have any more ice cream at the tiki bar.
