Artoria Alter Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-04-28/dragon-ball-gets-1st-new-tv-anime-in-18-years-in-july/.87608 Dragon Ball Super set after Majin Buu saga with foe stronger than Buu, Freeza teased 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 on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. 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 is set 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...” Toriyama is credited as the original creator, as well as for "original story & character concepts." Toei Animation's Kimitoshi Chioka (Hakaba Kitarō, Kamisama Kazoku) is the series director, and Naoko Sagawa (Yomiko Advertising, Inc.) and Atsushi Kido (Toei Animation) join Nozaki as producers. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightFlare_Da_Realest Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I didn't watch GT much at all. But it did have some cool villains. Hopefully this will suceed where GT failed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoria Alter Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think Toriyama himself said once that GT was more of an alternate universe. That being said, the best idea GT had was having the Dragon Balls themselves be the final boss. Ex✭Cᴀʜᴍ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetfire13 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 RIP GT CANON. Finally people can stop trying to connect gt to being canon Akira practically just erased it with this new series. Dragon Ball Xenoverse mentioned that GT is an alternate timeline, so it's still sort of canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Green Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We need somebody to make some sort of hype train image regarding this. Meanwhile, I still have to either watch the anime or finish off the manga (not an easy task, as I only have the first 6 VIZ volumes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galvatron Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hmm.... Though I admit is cool to see them bring new life in the Dragon Ball Z series. However I have this felling they Might end up twisting somethings around where You might expect some the events from the past be altered. Unless they try to based this series from the Xenoverse Game? But will see how this goes. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
