Awesome, can't wait! Hope it's better than GT.

this is gonna be sweeet

*CyberCubed* · 04-28-2015, 12:26 PM

i don't know, I've got a bad feeling about this. Movies are one thing, but a whole new series? I'm not sure the show has the stamina to be a full series again.

My guess is its only going to be 26 episodes, since there's no manga they don't have to pad anything out with filler.

~~Mew~~ · 04-28-2015, 01:39 PM

Dragon Ball Super? Is that a SNES game?

I would like to see this.....

*Netkeeper* · 04-28-2015, 04:38 PM

Not surprised, Dragonball's a huge moneymaker after all. I'm sceptical but hopefully I'll like it anyway. I probably will as long as they don't do any more GT-level character redesigns and they don't shelf like 90% of the cast--

Wait this is Dragonball of course they're going to shelf like 90% of the cast. Well I hope that this time my favourites aren't included in that.

*CyberCubed* · 04-28-2015, 04:49 PM

I hope this is only a 26 episode series at most. I can't imagine a saga being stretched out over nearly 100 episodes like DBZ, although to be fair that happened so the anime wouldn't catch up to the manga. Since there's no manga this time it should be much shorter.

I enjoyed the new DBZ movies but that's because they were self-contained, I don't think I have the patience to watch a battle that lasts 20+ episodes anymore. I know that if I didn't have nostalgia for DBZ as a kid and I watched it NOW for the first time I wouldn't be able to sit through the Freeza fight on Namek.

*Netkeeper* · 04-28-2015, 04:55 PM

I feel you there. I'm confident this series won't last that long. I'd say 50-60 at the absolute most, like GT, but shorter would be better. The showmakers know people won't sit and watch a fight that takes 20 episodes, hence why Kai happened.

But yeah about that Freeza fight, last time I rewatched the series a few years ago I literally stopped paying attention during those episodes and just left it on as background while I did other things.

*CyberCubed* · 04-28-2015, 04:57 PM

Most likely the story is going to be about Goku meeting those other Gods from the 12 dimensions that Beerus talked about. I just hope the whole show isn't just Goku fighting 12 Gods one on one....that would be so repetitive.

Hopefully this takes place after the end of DBZ so Goten and Trunks are teenagers, Pan is born and Uub is in it.

*Netkeeper* · 04-28-2015, 05:00 PM

That'd be kinda nice. I wanted to see more of little baby Pan. She was so cute.

sounds good to me!

*neatoman* · 05-10-2015, 05:14 AM

I found out about Dragon Ball Super yesterday... So if it will start to air in the next two months, why aren't there any previews of it?

*Slade* · 05-10-2015, 06:05 AM

Has anyone watched the new movie yet? I've been meaning to look it up online, just haven't gotten around to it. I did see a clip of Vegeta wrecking shop on Freeza though.

*CyberCubed* · 05-10-2015, 12:09 PM

is it even online anywhere? I've looked for it and can't find it. Probably just going to wait for the dub

The movie will premier in theaters where I live on June 19 so even though I'm not crazy excited for the movie and I could wait without a problem a part of me wants to see DBZ on the big screen for nostalgic reasons. The previous film also came out in theaters here but I was also indecisive and by the time I made up my mind it was no longer on theaters.

As a kid I believe the only DBZ movie that came out on theaters was Tree of Might, or it was the only one that was released in the period that I lived there and I couldn't help but be disappointed at the movie. It wasn't as cool as the Bardock OVA that aired on TV just a few weeks later.

There will be a manga

*CyberCubed* · 05-24-2015, 01:32 AM

The manga is based on the anime this time though, not the other way around, so again the anime won't need filler.

I'm hoping its only a 26 episode series, at least for now. If they start off doing 100 episodes right off the bat I fear the same pacing issues with long drawn out fights and filler will plague the series like before.

I tend to agree. Funimation does good dubs. Never was a big fan of Chopper's voice in One Piece, but it did fit.

*MrTMNT2012* · 05-24-2015, 11:40 AM

Just watched Fukkatsu No F.

Not as bad as I was expecting it to be but no where near as good as Battle of Gods. They still kept the meta humour and epic fight scenes but the pacing and actual plot progression was absolutely abysmal.

There was some disgusting CGI implemented but most of the fights are classic DBZ. Frieza's still an incredibly fun villain! The Z Warriors actually get to do something but sadly Vegeta gets the short end of the stick once again.

Also the ending is terrible.
