I think Super has the potential to surpass DBZ and DB. Especially if they mix the adventure, life episodes, and action!
there is no best anime ever made, then it's gonna be a bit tough.
Gurren Lagann... but that's off topic

Some people from Madman Entertainment are at Anime Expo right now and they uploaded this image on their Facebook page:
Spoiler:
Funimation are probably going to announce a simulcast (hopefully a dub) really soon.

Relived; if Funi's showing off the promo art for Super the simulcast's probably already in the bag meaning we should have subs about an hour after the episode airs Saturday (EST time). Yay! :3

The piccolo on the screen seems to be the same one on the Super guide book.

Oh man, maybe they're planning on announcing it after the RF premiere in Los Angeles tonight. The movie starts at 8, so maybe we'll get an announcement at 10? **crossing fingers**

It'll be online. There aren't very many channels that would want subbed anime in the US anyway.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

OP's Funi stream is at onepieceofficial. Maybe Super's will be something like "dragonballsuperofficial"?
Heh, super official. X3

I'm very surprised and happy that they're going to announce something about it this soon which means Kai's Buu arc might get announced alongside it.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Actually, that would make a lot of sense. If they began airing Kai Buu Arc on toonami, it would give them enough time to dub a "season" worth of super and lead right into it.

Ugh, I'm starting to count my eggs before they hatch! Someone stop me!

I feel like that we are going to see subs of the show first before dub. There's no reason for them to wait to have the show subbed when they can easily simulcast it.

Well considering that's impossible since there is no best anime ever made, then it's gonna be a bit tough.
Yeah but characters in Dragon Ball Super will be literaly traveling to a diffent universe!!! How many shounen animes today have something like that? I'm sorry but Pirates and Ninjas dont interest me and neither do giant ass titan dudes that are covered in flesh skin.

This is what interests me

If you can't anti Spyral universe and alt universe then Gurren Lagann did that. I think you'll enjoy that anime. Hell in the movie Super TTGL became bigger than the universe and broke the reality of time or something like that. They also blew up the Anti Spiral universe.

I heard about Gurren Lagann before but never really seen it. Personality I have a lot of anime that i want to see but never get a chance to cause I get busy. Just finished watching Berserk today and now reading manga. But ill give Gurren Lagann a try and see if I like it.
