So this will totally ignore GT?

Good. Good.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Dragon Ball is back
Digimon is back
Sailor Moon came back
Pokemon is still around

90s me is losing his mind

 

[Sandfox]

Well at least it will be new animation. Its probably going to look worse than one piece and be off model 90% of the time because they won't take breaks isn't it.

That really depends on how the series is planned for, but I wouldn't expect much.

Did not expect this.

The question is........can it be better than GT?

They would have to try for it not to be.

Holy shit DBKai hasn't finished yet?!

Kai only has a few episodes left.

 

[Jigorath]

I probably shouldn't be excited for this.

But holy fuck am I excited for this.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Just let it die.

 

[Hurley]

Legit excited, although I do fear for the animation quality. I know DBZ had it's fair share of sub par animation in episodes back in the day ( last house?) but modern day Toei worries me.

 

[Lynd7]

It's so unrealistic how there can be more enemies out there stronger than Buu.

I know its the only way for them to be relevant and not just get one shotted like "Oh lets see, your around the power level the androids were, I'll just backhand you into the sun" but still come on.

Well BoG's threw out the multiverse thing, so I am expecting this to utilise that thread somehow.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Just let it die.

It did but someone wished on the Dragon Balls

 

[-MB-]

Gohan will be gimped and one shotted again anyway, so the show can only be bad imho.
Unless they just have Goku visit one of the dimensions and get a whole new cast of sidecharacters involved.

 

[Blade30]

Did this come out of nowhere?

Hope it's good.

Pretty much. Or at least I had heard NOTHING till half an hour ago.

Wasn't there a plan (or rumor) for a new tv series when DBZ Battle of Gods was released? It doesn't strike as me as of "out of nowhere".

 

[A Pretty Panda]

It makes sense when you consider:
- A bunch of new DBZ manga adding to the story
- Kai returning despite the reason it never went past Cell in the first place
- The plot and success of the movies



GT wasn't written by Toriyama and had a lot of plot issues. It doesn't fit in with the newer stuff either.

DIdn't they also want to make a new TV series a few years ago but we got Kai instead?

 

[VariantX]

Makes more sense than gluing two #17's together and suddenly making something more powerful than majin buu though.

 

[Lunchbillion]

It's coming out sooner than I would've expected. How'd they keep this under wraps so long?
My god, the disappointment potential is so huge. Please be good! Please don't play it safe, make something good!

 

[Nightbird]

Hahaha Bravo!

 

[Servbot24]

My mind is boggled

After BoG not really. That basically opened up the floodgates for a plethora of stronger enemies.

 

[stryke]

I wish they made a Gohan at highschool romcom.

Well they already established the concept of gods so its not too far fetched that there are stronger guys out there.

Yeah, you're probably right. Well let's hope the art quality will be more consistent than DBZ, dunno what the quality in DBGT was like since I haven't seen it.

Current Toei will probably disappoint you.

 

[munchie64]

Just let it die.

It's making money again. No way.

Wasn't there a plan (or rumor) for a new tv series when DBZ Battle of Gods was released?

Yeah, but I would've expected this sooner if BoG sparked this.

 

[andymcc]

DIdn't they also want to make a new TV series a few years ago but we got Kai instead?

Yep, because Toriyama didn't want to work on character designs or script new scenarios.

Looks like he's probably doing both now lol

I guess Revival of F and Battle of the Gods were lucrative endeavors for him.

 

[Horseress]

Kai only has a few episodes left.

Time to catch up!

 

[schlongdog]

Woah!

Please be good

 

[Servbot24]

Current Toei will probably disappoint you.

Is it really as bad as DBZ still? :/

 

[Se7enSword]

Well, this is very surprising.

I really hope it turns out to be great.

 

[munchie64]

Is it really as bad as DBZ still? :/

Model wise, probably worse!

 

[andymcc]

Is it really as bad as DBZ still? :/

for adaptations? one piece filler and pacing are even worse.

 

[Exterminieren]

Not surprised in the least- the movies seem to have been teasing it.

Exciting, though.

 

[Heroman]

I hope toei does dbz justice, but they won't.

 

[PreFire]

Yes!

 

[Sandfox]

for adaptations? one piece filler and pacing are even worse.

That has more to do with the manga though.

 

[javac]

And people thought Dragon Ball AF was a pipe dream! First blue hair, now this.

Seriously tho, its obvious that the great reception to the recent films has contributed to this, and with games like Xenoverse doing really well, I'm glad DBZ is back and everyone is receptive of it.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

It's 2015.

Let it go.

 

[andymcc]

That has more to do with the manga though.

sure.

it looks hideous as fuck too. that's all on toei.

It's 2015.

Let it go.

really funny with a griffith avatar lmao.

 

[trixx]

Yay more power levels.

Dragon ball>z its pretty much fact. I hope if possible they can somehow make it like dragon ball

 

[Blackage]

It's 2015.

Let it go.

Says the Berserk fan.

 

[Sandfox]

sure.

it looks hideous as fuck too. that's all on toei.

Yeah, but the manga is forcing them to do half a chapter an episode and the series is going continue for a long time so the budget per episode has to be really low.

 

[PreFire]

Legit excited, although I do fear for the animation quality. I know DBZ had it's fair share of sub par animation in episodes back in the day ( last house?) but modern day Toei worries me.

Yeah but those were mainly for filler episodes. All the good (important/canon/manga) episodes had clean artwork IMO

 

[Werewolf Jones]

really funny with a griffith avatar lmao.

Says the Berserk fan.

DBZ ended but Berserk has not!

Y'all will never catch me crying for another Berserk episode any time in the official thread. :>

 

[Mechanized]

About goddamn time! You would have thought this was going to happen back during the huge north american resurgence of the series.

 

[KidA Seven]

This is going to be another GT.


god damnit

 

[Dark Ninja]

So 20 minutes of camera pans with 2 mins of action per episode. Sign me up

 

[munchie64]

No manga = No filler

Spoiler

Hopefully!

 

[Ashodin]

Fuck yeah

Bring me more Dragon ball!

Give me another sequel to legacy of goku as well and we're fucking golden sparking!!!!

 

[Sandfox]

They won't have to do that this time around.

DIdn't they also want to make a new TV series a few years ago but we got Kai instead?

I can't remember, but that sounds familiar.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Can we just get a Dragon Ball anime that looks as good as those videos in the games.

That would be so tasty.

 

[Horseress]

This is going to be another GT.


god damnit

[andymcc]

DBZ ended but Berserk has not!

Well let's look at it this way...

In the last three years, toriyama has helped conceptualize the plot and design the characters for two feature-length films. He's outlined the plot for this series and will probably provide lots of designs as well.

It's probably more work than Miura has done for his currently-running series.

Spoiler

Arent they still on the goddamn boat

This Dragon Ball revival is OK with me.

 

[Hot Coldman]

WHY THE FUCK NOT

It's not like DBZ ended with Cell Saga like it should have, so why the fuck not. Literally no reason this shouldn't exist at this point.

 

[Stereogatari]

HOLY FUCK!

PLEASE BE GOOD, PLEASE BE GOOD, PLEASE BE GOOD.
