Dragon Ball Super
 

Even though we already have a Dragon Ball discussion thread in this section, I figured I'd go ahead and make this thread since the other one deals with the first series and DBZ.

Anyway, here's the first Japanese teaser for the new series:



Translation:

Goku: Hey, I'm Goku.
Goku: Crossing 18 years of time, it's time to enter a new series!!
Goku: Dragon Ball Super premieres in July!
Text: Every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

I can't help but wonder what the story will be.

I can't wait for this. When will the first episode air? Besides July, of course.

Goten and Trunks are still kids? Whaaaa? The last movie already took place like 3 years after the end of the Buu saga.

Trunks and Goten should look much older. I can already see the continuity problems. Its like they forgotten the characters aged.

^ Maybe the animators wanted to forget the DragonBall GT timeline.

The only way its a continuity screw up is if you put History of Trunks in account because Trunks at that age in that series looked older but I'm unsure how in continuity that is and being anther timeline things change. Also its inline with how aging works in Dragonball you either go from being a toddler to full adult in a span of a year. Hell Goku and Krillin pretty much skipped puberty and there preteens throughout Dragonball. I think Gohan was really the only exception to that.

I am glad there ignoring GT all together with this one.

Wake me up when Funimation dubs it pls

I was about to say that. Goku is a great example of a "late growth spurt". Even before he trained with Kami and Popo before returning to participate in the tourney, he ran into Chichi and the Ox King and he noticed that Chichi had grown slightly taller, yet he was still short. That next year, a tall Goku appears. lol

Your probably not going to have to wait long with the way Funi has handled Space Dandy, Assassination Classroom, and Highschool DxD Born and many others Funi is really kicking it out getting rights and dubbs out as fast as possible.

That would be a good idea. SSJ4 was the only thing I liked from GT.

We knew from the start GT would be ignored. Just think of GT in the same timeline as the movies, as most of those were not canon either.

Can't wait!! :)

It airs July 5, 2015 in Japan, and you can watch the simulcast on Funimation.com.

Also, I'm pretty sure the dub is coming sooner than usual.

Can't wait for this.

It's pretty obvious that they're ignoring GT.

Ironically, this was one of the things I disliked about GT. I like how it started because it felt like Dragon Ball...but then it went into Z territory...

Watch this new show be worse than GT and "canon".

It's a little early to be saying that claim, isn't it?

It can't be any worse than GT. GT had terrible plotlines, flanderized main characters, plotholes, an idiotic conclusions. Not to mention some terrible character designs like short haired Vegeta with a mustache.

Not sure if i will watch this. I wonder what plots they would come up with. Besides it bugs me that Trunks and goten are still children in this. Probably to push Gohan again :/
