I'm all for a follow up, with Pan in it, but fuck Bra.
I want more Gohan and Videl. I don't care if it's their Saiyaman adventures. Their post high-school courtship. Their married life.
I just want more of them.

Goten was underused. Gotenks was overwhored.
Give me more Goten, Toei.

Entire franchise, Latino Audio, Dragon Box, who's with me?
Also; out of curiosity's sake, Japanese Dialogue with Faulconer score. I know it sounds like sacrilege, but I'm curious dammit.
WOOHOOO!!!

I'm totally with you on that first wish, man! I grew up on the Latino dub and even though I've grown to love the original, many of the cast members in the former are still totally BURNED INTO MY BRAIN as to what the characters sound like.

SonEric, problem fixed my friend, thanks again
Sorry to steer the thread off topic; my other dream release would be a version of BUDOKAI 3 with the Latino voices selectable in the audio options; I think there are a bunch of videos on Youtube with folks trying ot edit footage to achieve an effect similar to this.

No problem! Welcome to the forums.
Hmm to stay on topic, another thing I would like to see is a U.S. Version of Legends, but I think it's a little late for that.

My plausible one is:
- Kanzenban Dragonball in English
- The guides, all of them
- Dragonball Kai Blu-Rays with subtitles
- 2008 Special in English (preferably in one of the Dragon Boxes)
- A special extra DVD with the saga overviews and DBZ TV Special 3
My non-plausible one is:
All the footage getting released in the form of boxes, subtitles in English. ALL the footage. ALL.
My pure dream one is:
Having pure Dragon Ball being injected directly into my brain, somehow. PURE Dragon Ball. PURE.

Toriyama, Toei, Shueisha, and Funimation want that so bad.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I really do feel bad for those who had no choice but to watch this. They deserve a medal or free Dragonbox.

Daizenshuu Volumes English, Perfect Files English, Kanzenban Official Guides English, Super Exciting Guides English, the 08 special manga released in English, and the other Dragonboxes.
The TV animation/Film animation comics released in English would also be nice but they aren't on the top of my list.

Geez where do I start. Most of my dream releases have already been listed by others but what the heck . . .
- An accurate translation of the Kanzenban version of the manga without the censorship and needless editing.
- Kanzenban Official guides in English. Again a good translation.
- The Rest of the Daizenshuu and Perfect File books in English.
- The 08 special plus the accompanying manga with accurate translation and sans censorship.
- The rest of the Dragonboxes (Dragonball, the Movies and yes perhaps even a GT version) subbed and dubbed. This is most likely going to follow the DBZ release.
- A re-dubbed English version of the anime (Dragonball-GT) with dialogue faithful to the original with some of the character voices recast or redone. Freeza especially!
The usual . . .

Let's hope we at least get Viz to release the book material and a faithful manga adaption. I can see the recent TV special being released sometime in the near future. A redub however seems unlikely unless FUNImation goes out of business. Unlikely and probably not a good thing even for fans that do not like their treatment of the franchise. If that happened we would need to have all the stuff we do have from the anime re-released all over again.

To tell you the truth, what I want more than anything to be released is a super-literal translation of the manga. I wouldn't even care if it was the Kanzenban or not, just as long as it is as close to the original material as possible.
Direct translation: "Even if I used a Kaiô-Ken x 5, it still wouldn't affect this guy!!!!"
VIZ translation: "But my only chance--is to increase my power!!!!"
C'mon, folks. That's ridiculous.
Second place would go to the release of all databooks. Daizneshuu, SEG, Landmark, and Forever are the specific ones I'd like. Again, I'd want these to have super-literal translations if possible, but I'd still pick them up either way.

Pretty much what everyone else has been saying. A "Perfect Edition" release of the manga, and some more translated guidebooks.
