They've never done it in any substantial way before.
Super's barely had an filler episodes, and certainly not of the volume we're getting right now.
Also these next two episodes as well as the first episode of the next arc are written by the guy who wrote most of the Future Trunks arc and he hasn't written any filler previously, so maybe they're treated differently.
In a way the episodes starting with 71 basically are the new arc. It literary looks like they were made to promote it, unlike the previous filler which had nothing to do with the upcoming arc.

It's nice to see Krillin in his old uniform. But is anyone else getting a Halloween vibe from this image or is it just me?

Dragon Ball Heroes could have given us a trailer, just like that epic trailer they did for Future Trunks saga. I was expecting that, but since it didn't happen, the chances for a new trailer is almost zero.

Since it seems like the arc will have a slower start it's unlikely that we'll get a trailer. The one for the Future Trunks arc was just a fancy preview of episode 47.

Been off the forum for a while, is there any news which suggests the arc will have a slower start?

The arc has already started in a way really. With the past episodes building Gohan's character. And it seems a chunk of the upcoming episode will be all about him and Goku training.

The Newtype description for the first episode of the arc only talks about Bulma being pregnant. I imagine the tournament will start 5 or so episodes into the arc, just like the last tournament.

How did I miss that :wtf:
Anything else revealed except goku amd Krillin training?

If this arc indeed is stretched out and slow, That's gonna be real awesome, more time to animate and we finally get a real long lasting arc

EDIT: oh yes! I remember seeing people talk about bra, completely didn't catch that was the first episode description

          I was super disappointed to see the anime didn't keep that part of the manga so I'm excited to see the next few episodes.

          I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

          Probably didn't have time to, Vegeta's training in ep16 got cut down to him standing around due to lack of time for animating it.
          When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

          I hope we get a Halloween episode this year.

          That screenshot looks nice.

          That's a bold claim. We can't say that when the anime is an original work and is not adapting anything. So it wasn't "cut down" if it wasn't supposed to be shown to begin (there would be nothing new there anyway..)

          Ajay mentioned or even showed storyboards from 16 where Vegeta was shown to train, as in actually train and not just stand around then shout. This isn't surprising since the production of this has been fucked from the word go.

                  Well since F has happened now we need to swap Freeza to the back of the line since he's strongest of the 3 now.

                  The Universal survival arc preview was right after the NEP and it showed off a lot of gods and a new super saiyan looking character.

                  She is perfect.

                  Judging by her facial reaction, I think she isn't able to control her transformation.
