I hope Toonami can start earlier like at 11:30 PM or even 11:00 PM. Attack on Titan did really well on TV because it air on a good time slot and had good marketing. Toonami help AOT become more well known in the US (There has been more merchandise for it in 2014 and 2015). Super could air on a earlier time slot since more people can tune in by then.

It'd be better if they ran DB and DBZK before they run Super though. That way, kids can learn story before they watch Super.
Kids aren't the main market for Dragon Ball in the states anymore, however.
Looking for these rare items/information:

Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB
Any information regarding the stations that carried the origin Dragon Ball in the USA
Dragon Box (any deals would be nice)
Shonen Jumps with Dragon Ball in them

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Without Bruce Falc music blasting incessantly in the background, Super won't stand a chance in hell.
He devolved into saying only one word. Time to hit the ol' cosmic trail.

Kai would beg to differ.

I don't know many who liked Kai (outside the internet) simply for the lack of BF music.

Super could end up on Disney XD, but Doraemon, like Naruto was edited for silly reasons such as removing junk food etc, which seems extreme to me.
I think Disney could work, but I'd rather it go to Nicktoons or CN.

Yo-Kai Watch is currently airing on CN here in the UK, and is doing well. Toonami isn't the only option, I'm not against it, but I just don't think FUNi or Toei benefit from it.
The only way Dragon Ball continues to move forward is by finding new viewers, and Super is aimed at doing just that. The target audience are children, and unless it goes out to that audience, it is relying on older fans like ourselves to carry it, that's not sustainable.

If it does go to Toonami, then we're in for a long wait, unless they just air it alongside Kai (assuming they air the Buu Arc).

I can vouch for that! Yokai Watch scored the 4 highest rated spot on CN UK this week!

For some reason action cartoons do MUCH better on the UK. Even if Yokai Watch is more of a gag show.

Kai is doing great on Toonami right now.
