Dragon Ball Super Announced

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Anime News Network

Dragon Ball Super, a brand new television anime inspired by Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga, will premiere on Fuji TV and other channels in July. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired from 1996 to 1997.

The story of the anime will take place a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again. The voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, Masako Nozawa commented on the new anime, saying, “We've always used the word 'chō' (Super) with Dragon Ball in commercials, games and the like, but the fact that the series titled Dragon Ball Super is beginning is the best thing ever.”

Fuji TV producer Osamu Nozaki commented on the new series as well, saying, “As I read the plot [of the series] I've already received from Akira Toriyama, my dreams for this begin to expand. An enemy even stronger than Buu or Freeza may appear...”

Toei's Mitsuaki Kido will serve as the animation producer. Kido entered Toei just as the company was animating the Dragon Ball Z anime's Freeza arc.

A new film taking place after the Majin Buu Saga, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (key visual seen right,) premiered in Japan earlier this month. The film will eventually screen in 74 countries worldwide. Funimation hosted the North American premiere of the film on April 11 in Los Angeles. The company plans to release the film in more theaters with an English dub this summer.

Hmm......f*** it, I'm in.

Thought this would eventually happen.

[Mozenrath]

Sure. Probably a good time, too, considering Xenoverse has kind of re-ignited fan imaginations in regards to the franchise.

GT never was canon anyways

[BigJerichool222]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[sternrogers01]

Just what the world needs. More Linkinball Z.

[CMWaters]

Eh...may be good. We'll see.

Personally I'd rather a remastered animation version of the original Dragonball. Keep the voices and music and such, just up the animation like it was for that original Dragonball movie they released on the anniversary a while back.

[Push R Truth]

Hopefully they will set up Gohan 5 more times to be the greatest just to have Goku sweep in and save the universe at the end each time

[kidglov3s]

I hope this works out better than Kai.

[wisdomwizard]

A brand new Dragonball series Akira Toriyama WANTS to do, and will override GT completely?! I'm in!


I would hope they let Gohan be the main hero like Toriyama wanted, but we'll see.

I hope this is good. I hated the Boo saga, but I love the series in general. GT was trash though...

[Johnny B. Decent]

Toriyama, keep on milkin' that cow.

[Cela]

More work for the 123 year old woman who voices Goku!

Well f***. I was hoping Goku was going to travel around the universe picking on people weaker than Frieza.

[Jeff Mangum PI]

Whoa, a new sequel series to Goku & Friends: Starring Goku!

[Loser troll. Please ban me]

i'm stoked for 5 episode long power ups! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......

[Deleted]

Goku buries everyone.

Yeah, just 50 episodes of Goku ignorantly beating the f*** out of people less than 1% of his power.

I think he should fight the pterodactyl that kidnapped Bulma again.
