Dragon Ball Super

A brand new series has been announced, a sequel to Dragon Ball Z (and the films)

TOKYO (April 28, 2015) – Toei Animation has announced production on Dragon Ball Super (Japanese title; tentative
for English release), the first all-new Dragon Ball television series to be released in 18 years. Following the recent events of the hit feature film, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Dragon Ball Super will debut in Japan in July 2015.

Reuniting the franchise’s iconic characters, Dragon Ball Super will follow the aftermath of Goku’s fierce battle with Majin Buu, as he attempts to maintain earth’s fragile peace. Overseen by Dragon Ball’s original creator, Akira Toriyama and produced with Fuji Television, Dragon Ball Super will draw on its historic past to create a bold, new universe welcoming to fans and endearing to new viewers.

Kai ain't even finished yet tho? :/
But they sound dedicated.

After 18 long years of waiting, the information arrived today! Toei
Animation will produce the new Dragon Ball series, entitled Dragon Ball
Super (Japanese title; tentative for English release)!


Overseen by Akira Toriyama, the series will debut on Japanese screens in July 2015 on Fuji TV.
Direct sequel to Dragon Ball Z, the series will bring together all the
characters and tell their adventures after Son Goku’s fierce battle
against Majin Buu.

“Having loved Dragon Ball since childhood, it is very exciting to be a
part of this project,” said Osamu Nozaki, producer for Fuji Television.
“Mr. Toriyama has developed a plot that’s not only a dream come true for
Dragon Ball’s millions of fans, but one that will foster in a new
generation of viewers.”

“I hope that this series will last a long time and have the same impact
around the world as its predecessor.” said Masako Nozawa, Japanese voice
actress of Dragon Ball’s Son Goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten.

Introduced as a manga in Weekly Shonen Jump (published from SHUEISHA
Inc.) in 1984, Dragon Ball has evolved into a globally beloved brand.

Seen in more than 70 countries, with over 230 million copies of its
comic books sold, Dragon Ball remains one of the most popular anime
series of all time.

It's pretty close and may be done production-wise. However, Kai is just an edited down version of the original series to retell the story in a way closer to that of the Manga. Only a few scenes had to be redrawn and that doesn't require the same production team as a new series would. It's like a Dragon Ball Z movie being made during the original airing of the Dragon Ball Z anime.
Edit : Actually, Dragon Ball Kai sould be done with by the time this show airs. They're already at the final fight.


That said, I'm hyped as fuck about this. I've been loving the new movies and I hope the new series will be just as good. I'll reserve my worries until the show begins to air.

I really hope the fight animations are on par with some of the best fight animations from the old dragon ball. You know how every few chapters the animation quality would go up like a hundred times making some fights among the best in anime even by today standards (Goku vs Cell, Goku SSJ3 vs Kid Boo, etc).

And considering the words mr. Osamu used to describe the new plot I hope it really is good. Making Brolly canon would be great IMO, he was like kid buu except 0 funny and totally badass... or using the 7 dark energy dragons too (always thought the concept of that one was really good).

I highly disagree. Unless they completely retell his story, there's no way to make him fit. His history is so full of plot holes, ass-pulls and inconsistencies, the last time I tried watching the movie, I couldn't make it to the fight.

When I said "make Brolly canon" I didn't say how. I didn't mean for them to simply put him into super as if what happened around him in the movies was real. Retell his story. heck he can be king of a saiyan survivors colony that wants to conquer the universe, like how the plot from the fanmade Dragon Ball Absalon is.

If they can retell his story, it would be great. I would love the idea of some other Saiyan survivors finding Earth and trying to beat Goku, Vegeta and the halflings. Though, the only flaw with that is the chance of them going beyond Super Saiyan is very, very slim, much less Super Saiyan God.

I'd also like to see more of Vegeta's brother.

You mean the one from the movie? What for? Unless he is part of the aforementioned saiyan colony and becomes an enemy to Goku and Vegeta I'm against it. All he served for was to turn Vegetta into a goof in that movie.

While his character wasn't the best in that special, I think Akira Toriyama could do better for his character. I mean, he IS canon, if Battle of Gods and Revival of F are canon, as he's mentioned in it. I'd like to see him become a worthwhile character. Maybe not another Super Saiyan, but another fighter with unique attributes.

Then they better retell his story. I find nothing interesting in his "I'm a non racist Saiyan married to some random alien who is not interested in violence" character, that's Gohan's role. Maybe make him a younger version of the same vegeta that came to earth in the saiyan arc. Egotistical, cruel, proud... facing Vegeta against his past as he tries to guide him likehe was dealing with a younger version of himself.

Apparently Dragon Ball Super is gonna start by working the movies into the series?

hopefully there will be a little something new in between Battle of Gods and Revival of F. If not, then i guess we really wont get any new DBS content for a couple months after the series is even released
