Apparently this was taken at Anime Expo:

Is it happening? I'm guessing we'll know for sure within a few hours from the FUNi panel.

That picture was posted earlier, we know there will be some kind of Super related announcement, but we don't know that it will be a simulcast, it could just be an announcement that they will be releasing it, and that we'll see it this fall.

If you could spoiler tag the image just so it doesn't take up so much space..
Anyway, I'm excited for Super! Though who isn't?

Is Anime Expo going on right now? When is Funi's panel supposed to take place? Anyone know?

All he has to do, is shout real much, when he wants out.
Really? I though you could only use RoSaT two times in a lifetime

That's what I heard. Though it may be a dub only line.

Yes, the door will disappear, if you stay there for more than the allotted 2 days, but as I said, if Goku is stronger than Gohan from the get-go in this series, all he has to do is scream his way out, you know like Super Buu and Super Gotenks did back in the Buu Arc.

-About Super guide-
Its stupid how they are reusing BOG character design sheets, released a Super Guide and still didn't bother to fix Trunks blue hair...
In other hand, that Toyble comic is great.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

If it ends at 5:30 then yah we should get the news in 3 hours. If they don't have a simulcast I have a feeling Toei is going to get ragged on real hard.

The expectations for the simulcast have really shot up in the past couple days. I'm still gonna expect the worst, just to be on the safe side.

The least FUNi could do is a simulcast. Either way, I can't wait - not long to go until the first episode!.

Lol I came on here to see if there will be any legal way to watch Super as soon as possible (although I think I'll be at work every week it airs unfortunately). This looks like a good sign.

I think that they mentioned Dragon Ball in the panel summary in a good indicator that they've got the simulcast rights.

If they don't get it in time, I'm willing to bet Toei's to blame.

Who else's fault would it be BUT Toei? lol. Funimation would be crazy not to try to get simulcast rights for DBS. The only reason they may not, is if Toei says no. I suppose it could be Funimations fault if they didn't want it, but that is a lot of lost money if they did that.
