"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[SMKirbyZX]

Just realized that Super aired in Japan today. If anyone finds an English fansub later on, do you think you could link it to everyone?

It doesn't air for another ~5 hours, and no, that's illegal and won't be happening here. You want it, you're on your own to find it.

Okay, thanks for the info.

Didn't Funimation say they were announcing many simiulcasts in a panel of some sort? When is the date for that?

Yesterday and there was nothing about Super sadly.

Yesterday and there was nothing about Super sadly.

That's a shame.

Maybe there's more work being put into Resurrection F that they can't work with Super at the same time. I can see Funimation wanting to get the movie out first, then the series.

I still think it's Toei's fault somehow that Funi hasn't gotten a hold of simulcast rights yet. I don't know if it was a time-management thing, or a "asking too much money" thing, or a "we want to air this locally before doing anything international" thing, or something else entirely until proven otherwise.

Probably. Even if, for logistical reasons (getting F out first, herding voice actors together), Funi can't actually do it yet, they're probably leaping at any chance to at least confirm that they will at some point.

[MagicBox]

Yeah, it's definitely Toei. FUNimation would already be putting DVDs up for pre-order if they could.

Maybe they're worried it could interfere with international "Resurrection 'F'" box office performance if fans could just watch a TV show retell its plot from the comfort of their own homes?

Is the silhouetted Broly-like Saiyan in the top right for Super or Heroes? Really want to read the text but can't https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hp ... e=563005C2

Looks fake. Why would Broly be a secret for anything at this point? He's lame.

It's most likely for Heroes and Honestly....it looks like they're teasing an SSJG form for Broly....blegh


Could be fake though.

Please don't, Broly to be a part of the new series?

Would he be silhouetted if it was for Heroes and why would he be next to the S logo if he was in heroes ? With them reintroducing the last 2 movies into this I guess they could do the same with Broly.

[soulnova]

Leaner ssjg version of Broly?

I'm interested...

[Captain Space]

I doubt they'd put Broly in Super.

The placement is odd, but given that the other Heroes stuff is at the top, it's probably just something like SSJG Broly for Heroes, yeah. (Because Heroes will never end while there are still forms they haven't given Broly yet.)

I don't think that's the reason, until next month most of the world will have gotten F, and Super won't be there yet, definitely.
Toei is improving lately, but they're still too old school when it comes to their businesses. I can't find a good and valid explanation if Super doesn't get a simulcast. Maybe they want to wait and sell it internationally, but i'm pretty sure that, outside Japan, anime doesn't have the same reach on tv anymore when compared to the internet, at least not in the West.

Would he be silhouetted if he was for Heroes and why would he be next to the S logo if he was in heroes ?

Yes, they do silhouette new characters for Heroes. And that picture isn't even new...i doubt they would casually give away something relevant about Super in a pamphlet like that.

[SansrivaaL]

That will be fun (ignoring Broly) another SSG and he has a tail too, I wish Goku and Vegeta would grow their tails back....

[BlackCatScott]

That was posted on the 20th June. If it's real wouldn't it have been picked up on by now?

I don't buy it.

[Chuquita]

100% sure it's for Heroes. Toriyama seems to be in the mindset of dumping and ignoring anything he didn't write himself.

Also, Brolli's creator, Koyama, quite publicly spoke of his dislike of BOG and his love for his own creation. I doubt he'd work with Toriyama.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

That page doesn't look real at all. So I doubt it's for anything.

[TripleRach]

Friendly reminder that this is a forum. Not a blog or a chat room. I know everyone is excited, but take your time to make thoughtful and relevant posts.

Obviously most of us don't live in Japan, and there doesn't seem to be any official simulcast in the works yet (if ever). But the forum rules and section rules still apply.

Also, here's a chart with a lot of major time zones in relation to the premiere in JST. Whether you have the ability to watch it live yourself, or just want to know when to start looking for reactions on social media and stuff.

[TheGmGoken]

Everyone so worried about Funimation similucast. How about other languages or countries? Latin America love DBZ. Could they have one or perhaps a French one?
