Well, by the time you're finished with it Super will probably be done in English and on DVD, so not a bad plan.

Wonder if the time traveling Xenoverse/DBO villains will tie in at all? I don't expect them to, but might be neat.
GT cant be retconned because nothing happens after GT
If anything Videl being pregnant with Pan in Batle of the Gods cements GTs existence

The fact the plot and other things are coming from Toriyama for this, it makes it that much better

As long as it's better than GT... That's not asking for much.
GT SSJ4 is the most real you are getting.
A self-conscious Ozaru, an human form with the power of a super-Ozaru is the most logical final form of a Saiyan.
We can argue about the design but I personally like it a lot.

Forgot saiyans doesn't change.
Not really, we saw Pan at the end of Z after all, she was around long before GT came along.
I was in middle school I believe when FUNi took over and continued the Frieza Saga. Until then I must have watched the original Ocean dub 3-4 times.
Pan was canon before GT.
Pan being a Super Saiyan retcons GT though.

Now i have a reason to watch DB and DBZ again. (Probably would have anyway lol)
Hope they have Roshi fighting in the show. He´s the best. Just make him Super Roshi and be Super Saiyan strong and just wreck shit.

Pan is even born by RoF. That's just referencing the last chapter of Z though, not GT. And GT is retconned even from the anime continuity by being completely incompatible with Revival of F's new forms.
It sounds like it's after the movies, at least.
Don't forget that all these movies technically take place in the middle of the Buu Saga though, due to the 10 years timeskip before the last chapters, so by "after Buu" they could also mean after that epilogue, rather than in the 10 years blank. We don't know either way yet, but it certainly seems post RoF at least (like the reference to a new villain being stronger than "Buu and Freeza" in the Japanese news, which only makes sense with RoF Freeza).
Well, the last movie is after Buu, so it is both.

Pan was born in DBZ, so not really sure what Videl being pregnant is supposed to prove.
Well it's both if it's after the movies technically.
The fuck, Pan is a Super Saiyan in the new movies? Huh?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Awesome.
I always wondered if part of the reason we didn't get a new series is that it'd be rough on Nozawa to do more than small, singular appearances---I mean, she's two-years away from 80 now. Part of me worries what'll happens when she can't do voice work anymore, or retires. Will Toei find a new Goku/Gohan/Goten after all these years?

Oh my god, that was so maddening. I think I must not have understood the concept of new episodes/reruns because I remember getting so frustrated everytime the show would end with the Goku/Recoome fight and then jump back to the beginning again and again.

I hope gohan gets the chance to prove that he's actually the strongest non fused character.
oh who am i kidding, he's going to get the shaft worse than vegeta, just look at his fucking design in resurrection of f.

Do I need to watch DB Kai before the new show?
Not at all. Kai has no new content, it's just the old series with filler removed and some scenes redrawn.
I was exactly the same, haha. I would hold out for the possibility that the series would just magically continue the next day. It wasn't until I started seeing all the commercials for the *new* episodes that I realized my error.
Dragon Ball Kai is just Z with less filler.
There's nothing new.

Roshi will be at home watching on TV. War has changed.

High Five. Glad I'm not along thinking this. I enjoyed high school Gohan, brought back memories of the beginning of Dragon Ball.
The only Gohan related disappoint I felt during the Buu Saga was giving him a random power-up that did nothing. The equivalent of the Piccolo Nail fusion during the Frieza Saga.

I've always been a fan of it, too.
Luckily I truly don't care about what is canon and what isn't. Just thrilled to be getting a new series.

Huh... You do know that Roshi gets a fighting scene in the newest movie, right? Now, granted, it's just against Freeza soldiers, but that's the same thing everyone besides Goku and Vegeta got.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
The DBZ ending was so shortsighted and just never seemed fitting. So glad its gonna continue again. goddamn this is great news.

I think there should be gap for 2 to 3 new forms of goku and vegeta, because if more badass villians are to come other than freeza and buu then there should be powerups

HOLY SHIT. YESSSSSSSS!
I never thought I would see the day a new series of Dragon Ball would be announced. I suppose I finally have to watch the new movies. Will Toei be arsed to actually give a shit this time, compared to Sailor Moon and Digimon?
Please be good.

And please God, let it be dubbed by the remaining VAs from the original Latin American cast. It is the biggest anime ever here and it is still popular, and I just can't endure Goku's original VA.
I think this applies even more for LA, considering how gigantic Dragon Ball was and still is here.
The weird thing about his power-up is how it made him stronger than everyone else, yet was completely ignored when Buu turned into Kid Buu.
Gohan should have been kicking his ass instead of Goku and Vegeta, really. That was always so weird to me.

Goku mentions bringing Gohan after the world is restored, but then Vegeta gives the Genki Dama idea to allow the earthlings to save their own world for once.

Can Toriyama give the big bads some underlings so we can actually have some fun fights on the low-end? If there is one thing that Bleach, Naruto, and (especially) Hunter x Hunter did a lot better than DBZ, it was giving their scrubs something to do other than job to the main villain.
Is it too much to ask to see a quality Picolo, Tien, or Krillin fight that actually involves some strategy and has tension?
Let the Saiyans have their God battles that decide the fate of the universe, just don't feed the rest of your cast to the villain to put him over.

I would like them to explore the process of Vegeta getting the red God mode. Maybe they all agree to do the ritual on him, and he demands a spar with Goku while he's powered up or something, could make for a cool fight. Obviously Vegeta has changed so it won't be a Majin style rampage, but still.
I don't really know what else I want from the series. More humor, more good action. I'll try to keep an open mind. I'm just surprised that it's coming so soon. We may even be watching subbed episodes before RoF makes it stateside in theaters.
