So uh, here is a quote from Toriyama that is the opening to the Official Dragon Ball Anime 30th Anniversary book that just came out in Japan...

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone."

Hopefully his complaints were taken seriously by Shueisha, Bandai and Toei. If there is anyone's opinion they should take seriously it's Toriyama's.
Fingers crossed for the new arc!

haha holy shit

Toei take some fucking notes.

Wow, wonder what he's complaining about specifically. If its animation quality, then he should have known that was coming a mile away with Toei with what they do to one piece. This show might have needed much more time in the oven than it got to get consistent quality across the board.
 
The book officially releases on Thursday and it's something he wrote specifically for the book.
I imagine if Shueisha, Bandai and Toei weren't okay with the quote it wouldn't have been in the book, considering it's an official product that is part of their Dragon Ball Anime 30th anniversary line. If anything this makes me feel like it is even more likely that they started "sacrificing" episodes of the F arc to make sure the next arc was higher quality, but we'll see.

I dunno, I thought Toei only had rights on the anime products, whereas this is a book published by manga publisher Shueisha.

I'm probably way oversimplifying this.
 
It's amazing really.... how several creators who were once apathetic to what made them famous have slowly turned around... this happened with Harrison Ford and Star Wars and now has happened to Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball.
 
Toriyama is darth Vader, big business is Palpatine, and Dragonball is Luke

Which is odd because this is the best gohan has ever been

I liked Saiyaman Gohan too, gave him some personality.

Just saying that if AT initially wanted Gohan to take over, he should of made him more like Future Gohan after the Cell Games. Not surprised that people didn't like it.
 
These episodes are made far in advance so if these comments end up affecting anything it'll probably be way later in the series.
 
Pretty much this. I'm certain this interview was done well in advance for release.

Him saying that in November or early December would also line up really well with my theory that they may have started doing F arc episodes fast, sacrificing them so they could get get ahead of their current schedule to allow the coming episodes more weeks of production.

Episodes 21 and 22 where okay, not terrible but they had nothing really special, but starting with 23 it really feels like each successive episode was made in a smaller and smaller window of time until episode 27 which was a rather large jump in quality.
 
Just realised Gohans haircut in super is Yamchas from the Buu saga and Yo Son Goku and His friends etc(Really wish they added this in at the start of super 2 eps would have fit ez). Dude is never getting a break.
 
I hope they end up in some universe when the final boss is ssj4 Goku fused with Shenron like it happened in the end of GT, that'd be great.
As for Super now it should start and im kinda exited, so far it has been bad, and watching it after the OPM episodes makes it look even worse

Um.. what? This never happened.
 
They should give Gohan Yamcha's BoG hair next.

Noooooooo. He needs to go back to the style in your avatar. TORIYAMA PLEASE.

End of Z look is fine too.

And props to him for calling Toei out though like you said episode 27 was fantastic and a lot of the non Goku vs. Freeza stuff was decent but not great as well. You could definitely tell they wanted to get on with it while still introducing several new key plot elements.

Thats the GT/Yamcha haircut, no way man. Either go back to Mystic or Teen hair yo.
 
If you say so. I liked Saiyaiman when I was a kid, but I just find the persona lame now. He should of stuck with being the "Golden Warrior".

That's literally the point

Do you have a kanzenshuu post or something? All I see is this post for this quote
 
Caught up after giving up on episode 23.
Wading through the quality of the show until episode 27 was worth. That was some of the coolest fight choreography in dbz. Vegeta was so badass. I'm now really excited for the new universe 6 stuff and I know I'm late to the party, but GOHAN YO!!! Please don't just be a tease. Please train and come back ready to kick some ass.

Page 636 of the Official Announcement Thread & Discussion, there is an image of the quote and then a few posts later the translation.

He goes out with Shenron absorbing all the dragonballs and than being absorbed by Shenron, only to appear 100(I guess?) years later.
The fan theory is that he became one with Shenron, some god like creature.
Pro tip.

Don't expect anything of GT to be in Toriyama's continuation of the series.
 
Last episode was great, here they actually make you give a crap about the destruction of the earth instead of just destroying without showing what the other characters did.

Also, I liked that Gohan decided to return to training and the trunks joke telling what he will do next time that someone shows up.

I guess that the next episode will be the real beginning of the series

Bad match up for the Uni 6 guys.

At this point, Champ could send a fucking battalion and every member of team Uni 6 to hit the ring and attack Goku, and he'll still find a way to kick out and Kamehameha every last one of them.
 
Anybody else actually glad that these guys dont seem evil? I mean yes the outcome of the tournament itself is very threatening and bad but as far as the participants go they dont seem to bad i like it.

Two of them appear to be good guys, still got to see what's with the other three, perhaps all of them are good guys.

U6's super dragon balls

Well both from U6 and U7. Then again one has to wonder what's going on in the background of this tournament since Champa is willing to give'em away although one is still missing
