2016?
Someone did a better one a few months ago.
I guess they can just say that rule only applies to mortals or something. (is Kibito considered mortal?)

Ehhh, that's a pretty generic set up there and Gogeta isn't even in the same pose. Don't think it's an homage.
okay :(
Anyways, what's the word from the Dragon Ball Illuminati on the big Super announcement? Still on for this Friday?
OP
OP
Any time from Thursday to May 9th. I expect May 9th to be the last possible date because that's the day Bandai releases their financial results for the fiscal year that ended March 31st and will be giving their forecasts for this fiscal year. Both Bandai and Toei (who releases theirs on the 14th) will likely want to tell investors that Super's return will result in an increase in revenue for the IP.
I'm really hoping we get the announcement this week.

so the animators you've talked to don't know when toei is going to go forward with the announcement?
In anticipation for more dragonball, I just got caught up on the Manga. Read from chapter 39-47 in one 4 Hour sitting.
Fun ride, Moro is kind of refreshing, Piccolo needs a bigger presence in this arc.
Y'all think the return of the show will retell this Moro arc in the anime or be something new?

I'm not the one who talks to animators, I just have the info passed my way. Anyways, no, it's not something they would know. But we do know, as was leaked previously, that Toei told licensees to expect the announcement this month back at the event they held on the first. Plans can change so it could have potentially been pushed to early May, but hopefully that's not the case.
Hard to say, but if they start with Moro then it won't be a direct adaptation of the manga due to production timelines. It'd have to be Toei's own take on it based on an outline that would have had to have been provided to them last year.
I think Super is some of the best DB has ever been. It wouldn't make sense at all for them to stop now when it's doing really well, both financially and in terms of how the writers have really been finding their groove.
Given what has been talked about pre-production and how much healthier the overall schedule for production seems to be, I don't think they'll feel the need to go there again. Or so I hope that is...
Then again, it kinda depends on Broly's role in the series. Will he be someone who will feature heavily in the new series? Then perhaps showing his new origin story makes a lot of sense. If he's someone that'll just show up in a much later arc or something, then some flashes (perhaps even taken directly from the film) should be enough to give everyone a quick look at who he is.
I'd wager like, 90% or more of the Super fans watched it one way or the other. Going by it's success WW and how crazy people went when it hit the..."less than legal" means >.>
Still not a terrible idea to show some sort of backstory IF he becomes a big presence in the show. Otherwise I'd rather they skip it.
There's really no reason to recap the Broly movie. All you need to know is that Goku and Vegeta fought him and are on good terms with him after the film.

Nozawa announced it at a screening of F a bit over a week after F hit Japanese theaters and then a press release came shortly after. This time will probably just be a press release with a key visual and or a tiny teaser video.
There was no build up to the announcement for Super 1, nobody expected an announcement from that screening of F.
I'm personally expecting a Broly recap of some sort. He's going to be too important of a character going forward and they're going to want to fill everyone in on the events of the movie (even though it was basically just an exhibition fight all things considered)
Either way I'm just ready to get this party started.

BoG anime actually did a few things better than the movie. Also had bad stuff and was worse than the movie, Overall, it could argued as unncessary, or barely satisfactory.
The RoF retelling was possibly the worst Dragon Ball Arc period. Nah, it is the worst.
now Broly.
The issue with Broly is that it's maybe the best DB movie. So a retelling may not improve on anything and we'll be left with a ROF type arc.
If that's the case I'd rather not.

Huh, I popped out of this OT because of the lack of anything new or concrete, and it looks like I came back just on the cusp of a potential announcement. I'm not losing sleep over the lack of anything new, but man do I need the new series already. The promise of Broly's art direction scaled down to TV for god knows how many more years is just too good to be true to even think about.

if there's going to be a release we won't get it until mid morning in japan at the earliest right?
OP

Probably sometime from 8AM to 5PM.
Hey, I'm not saying it will be announced today, just that today is a decent bet.
Either way we are pretty much guaranteed to get the announcement at some point in the next 14 days. 19 days at the absolute worst, as there is no way they don't announce before Toei gives their forecasts for the fiscal year.

The word used there was actually "mamono", which is different from how Dabura and the demon realm characters from Heroes are described. "Demon" is a possible translation but it was a bad choice there since it causes that confusion.

i mean you never promised it would be on the 26th, you just said you thought that was a very likely date

Yep, was just a date that made a lot of sense.
I guess some of you guys might have been right and they might have wanted to get a bit of space from Avengers before announcing.
They might drop the announcement on a random weekday, but if they don't go for random then Goku day is probably the last day worth betting on. It's an officially recognized day in Japan, it's about 2 weeks after Avengers hit theaters and potentially most importantly it's the same day Bandai releases their financial results for the last fiscal year and their forecasts for this fiscal year. Super 2 is no doubt going to have an impact on their forecasts, so it would make sense to announce it before Bandai releases theirs. As I also said before May 14th is probably the absolute latest they can announce since that's the day Toei is releasing their financial results and them projecting DB bringing in more money than last year without announcing the show would look even more suspect than Bandai doing so.

If you read what's been said nobody has said that any sources have given an announcement date, it's all speculation based on when the show is going to air.
The closest is Toei saying back on the first that the announcement was planned for this month, but even if the announcement is made in May that doesn't really change anything since they didn't even have an actual date to give licensees back then.
Yeah, I know. And all of that speculation has been wrong for months
