Yeah. At this point, most anime that will premiere in July got about the same amount of stuff out that Super did, or a little more. Some of them are getting their premiere date revealed just now!
I really don't know what some people are expecting, tv anime rarely get long trailers in advance, unless they're full of still shots and text screens to fill time.

Not revealing anything only creates hype for the hardcore fans that consistently follow any news about it. But it also creates lack of awareness for the casual fans who might not even know it's a thing. If they've got good material to work with, they should be hyping this up by now with longer ads. Oh, and we need a simulcast. -.-
The thing about Sailor Moon wasn't exactly lack of information, the production was in limbo for a loooong time after the first announcement until they finally said anything else.

Besides, SMC is a web show. Super is a tv show that is being properly advertised on tv Fuji, not to mention it's gonna replace another Dragonball show that millions watch every week and are well aware of it already. That's really not a good comparison...
Btw, no simulcast was announced for the next season for any show yet, AFAIK only the Death Note live action. Really, people are just too anxious.

You know what would be cool?
If toei decided to release another Dragon ball Super trailer and upload it on the front page of you tube right at the day before it debuts. I think it would be freaking awesome!

It would break their site.

You know, I wonder how exactly Toriyama came to the realization that DBZ was bigger than he expected. It actually seems like he honestly didn't knew. I'm really curious... the amount of interviews and snippets he had been revealing since BoG, leading up to Jaco and Gine was unlike anything we had encountered before, showing his renewed interest on continuing the developing ot the universe's lore on some way. Did he realize by watching the reaction of the people to BoG worldwide? Did he read some forums/internet communities? The amount of youtube videos? Did he travel aboard and he was immediately identified at the airport by name? ("Welcome to our country Mr. ..... OH MY GOD. YOU ARE AKIRA TORIYAMA!") xD

My guess is definitely because of BOG success. Maybe he even created an account here and now he's a Kanzenshuu user. 8)
But the last one is gold. :lol:

Very unlikely he would even be recognized here outside of name. But it is weird that it goes over his head at times just how big this series is. lol.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Well, I haven't seen any photo of him recently, but if I recognized him, you can be sure as hell I would burst out in tears of joy as I babble incoherently and collapse to the ground.


He used to be kind of a recluse to the fans but I wonder if he would be more willing to receive fanmail now. :/ Does anyone knows how good is his English? Would he be able to read some simple questions in English?

Well, considering Toriyama most likely misspelled "Blooma" into "Bulma", I'd say his english isn't that good.

I'm sure it comes as no surprise, but given the preview it seems Shida Naotoshi worked on the upcoming penultimate episode of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal as a key animator. This was probably finished a little while back, so I'm hoping he's been able to spend whatever available time he has on something for Dragon Ball Super. If he doesn't work on Episode #1 then I hope he at least the Opening, I can't imagine there will be any good key animators working on Episode #1 if the comicalization is anything to go by.

Eh, more like both are ways of romanising the pronunciation of what is, while a pun on an English word, not written with our alphabet at all to begin with. One may be better at communicating the pun/intent, but that doesn't make the other wrong.

Toriyama in 2013 said that he decided to make ssjgod red because red is the strongest color (he was hesitant between red and blue). Eventually ssgss turn out to be blue, for a couple of reasons. But ssjgod is by no means stornger than ssgss. Its the other way around...those rumours don't even make sense anymore.

As you said it was 2013 so i don't get why people thinking he said this today it was 2 years ago when he said it so he changed his mind about it later on .

Dragon Ball Super may coming to Portugal?! A portuguese guy sent an email to Panda Biggs (One of the channels that airs DB around here) and got the following answer:
"About Dragon Ball Super and the rest of the saga, there's gonna be a surprise in 2015 and 2016. Stay tuned!

I'm talking about the channel that aired Legend of Shenlong on Christmas day, last year.

People love to spread rumours and make Toriyama sound like a retard old man. Nothing new here.

Biggs and SIC K only aired the dub versions.
Sic Radical is the first and only one that aired Japanese DB Kai.

It's not even a opinion. Its science.

Maybe they're referring to Battle of Gods? It'd make more sense to license it before Super.
