Well, this sure came out of nowhere.
Hope it's good.

 

[Alienous]

Hope it'll be fun again. Battle Of The Gods was boring to me.

Revival of F is supposed to have been action-packed, intentionally, responding to what people thought of Battle of Gods.

They know what the fans want.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

I'm going to cry. This isn't real life!

I......I can't wait. Please PLEASE be good!

Bring Gohan back!!!

 

[Magwik]

I don't think that the animation should suffer as much as other Toei shows have. At least it should theoretically be consistently better than one piece due to not being restricted by catching up to the manga as well as it most likely won't be on air constantly

 

[NeonZ]

i'm sure the general plot will be at least fun but i'm really scared for the animation.

why did you have to say crystal though. barf.

Dragonball's designs are fairly simple, and this is a tv anime, not net animation like Soul of Gold or Sailor Moon Crystal. We probably will get tons of mediocre animation anyway since this is Toei, but we also probably will have a few well animated moments and melee fighting spread throughout.

It's taking over Toriko's/Dragonball Kai's timeslot. It'll be a long running weekly show. I'd expect at least 50 episodes.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

YESSS!

Gohan will never come back.

He achieved SSJ0 and he's staying that way forever.

 

[Bishop89]

Dbz is a bad anime , the amount of filter it has male it almost unwatchable.

opinions etc.. etc..

I enjoyed every minute of the show. Well everything except anyhing to do with pre ssj2 gohan

 

[Tesseract]

is this the biggest, most awesome bbq-filled news of the year? my heart is filled with joy.

i'm hopeful for this as well. i mean, that pretty much describes namek arc onward DBZ lol.

 

[Tesseract]

Please be like original dbz. I freaken hate kai, from the animations to the filler cut.

you're a crazy person, kai's script is magnificent.

 

[diunxx]

I hope this is a real DBZ sequel and not some pg shiy like battle of the gods.

 

[NeonZ]

Gohan will never come back.

He achieved SSJ0 and he's staying that way forever.

With a tv show there's more space to give power ups to secondary characters. Of course, in the end they won't save the day even with those.

 

[Mecha]

Dbz is a bad anime , the amount of filter it has male it almost unwatchable.

In 30 years old One Piece fans will say how great the filler is.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Gohan will never come back.

Pretty sure Videl is more powerful than he is at this point.

 

[andymcc]

I hope this is a real DBZ sequel and not some pg shiy like battle of the gods.

PG shit? lmao

Dragon Ball Z is PG stuff all of the way through.... why do dragon ball fans think it's way edgier and more adult than it actually is.

 

[Magwik]

Filler arcs aren't bad
Filler scenes like in Dressrossa are awful

 

[Arkeband]

Linkin Park

 

[andymcc]

Linkin Park

i blame the nu-metal used in the dub.

which also explains the linkin park.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Starring gohan


Pls

Eh.

People were getting impaled and blown to pieces in Z quite frequently.

I mean, shieeet.

Battle of Gods had none of that.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

So they really are making a new TV series. I'll have to watch this based on Nostalgia only. Hopefully it is entertaining.

 

[Lulubop]

I hope this is a real DBZ sequel and not some pg shiy like battle of the gods.

Lol

 

[Malajax]

As someone who owns all of Dragon ball/Z, this is fantastic news to wake up to. And it's starting soon! What an unbelievable time to be a DB fan.

 

[andymcc]

Eh.

People were getting impaled and blown to pieces in Z quite frequently.

Battle of Gods had none of that.

it's nothing compared to other shonen jump series printed alongside dragon ball. compare it to fist of the north star, bastard!! (which ran in weekly jump for while) or jojo's bizarre adventure....

Dragon Ball was always an easy series to market at families and kids.

 

[munchie64]

Kanzenshuu has an article up now:
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2015/04/28/new-dragon-ball-super-tv-series-announced-for-2015/

I hope this is a real DBZ sequel and not some pg shiy like battle of the gods.

Well now I've heard everything

 

[Sn4ke_911]

HOLY SHIT YEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trojita]

Whaaaaaaaat. Didn't expect this this morning.

 

[Seven Force]

Figured this was inevitable considering the DB resurgence in the past couple of years.

And starting so soon, wow.

 

[SteveTR]

Pretty hype. Pretty hype, indeed.

 

[Macnair]

I wonder how many episodes it will get.

 

[marmoka]

Are Toriyama and Toei out of money and they need to get some cash?

After 20 years, the series won't look the same for me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

If it's after BotG then does this mean Videl is still pregnant?

I hope this is a real DBZ sequel and not some pg shiy like battle of the gods.

que

 

[Crocodile]

*Well let's check GAF before I head off to teach my morning lab*

WUT WUT WUT WUT

WHATYEARISIT?!?!

The fact that its starting so soon and that Modern Toei SUCKS gives me some trepidation though

 

[electricboogaloo]

so is this gonna be cannon to the story line or will get the GT treatment?

 

[zswordsman]

Damn it. I thought this was going to be a Dragon Ball remake. The original being reanimated or something.

 

[Dryk]

Judging from this thread the secret reasoning behind this existing might be Toriyama realising that people still think GT is canon.

Yes, that's what I didn't like in those shounen series, only 1-3 people are really strong and important, the rest not so.

I feel like we're in so deep already it'd be near impossible to fix. Failing setting the new show a long time ago in a galaxy far away (which I would totally be down for) the ship has sailed.

 

[Malajax]

If it's after BotG then does this mean Videl is still pregnant?

Set after Revival of F, and by the start of F, Pan is 3 yrs old, I think.

 

[NeonZ]

Pan seems to be at most 1 year old in Revival of F.

so is this gonna be cannon to the story line or will get the GT treatment?

Toriyama is working on the story (at least setting up the premise and characters), and supervising it, so it shouldn't be another GT.

 

[ash_ag]

Holy shit. And Toriyama is writing the story?! So, essentially the Dragon Ball renaissance that started with Battle of Gods is going full form. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Hope they focus on new characters besides the Z Fighters. It would be really, really cool if an entirely new character unrelated to Goku co-starred in this.

By the way, according to Xenoverse, GT is considered a separate/parallel timeline to the main Dragon Ball events (that is interacted with in a DLC pack). Perhaps that includes the whole anime version of the Dragon Ball sagas, with fillers and everything. Now, whether Xenoverse is considered part of Toriyama's vision is up to debate, since it didn't quite turn into an alternate version of DB Online as far as I know.

 

[Dennis]

My Dragonballs are ready.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

18 FUCKING YEARS!!!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I feel this was going to happen eventually. But not this soon

 

[Mecha]

Damn it. I thought this was going to be a Dragon Ball remake. The original being reanimated or something.

It would end up being a huge downgrade.

 

[FrigidEh]

I hope we get a ridiculous power-up episode that is just Goku screaming for 20 minutes.

 

[Sephzilla]

WHAT

MORE DRAGONBALL?!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I hope we get a ridiculous power-up episode that is just Goku screaming for 20 minutes.

Just like the old days brother, just like the old days.

 

[CryptiK]

YES! FUCK YES!

 

[Android18a]

Oh man, my body isn't ready for this...

My favourite thing is that they chose this particular scene when making an action figure of Yamcha.
