Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
I really, really hope Gine's color scheme be that way, if ever she appears eventually. But on the other hand, didn't like Kakarot's color armor, I prefer the DBH card version. Overall, pretty much cool. Oh, and Bardock MUST has his headband...
Seems like Jaco did pretty well in it's first day of sales. It's at the top of the chart.
Toriyama is still a draw.

Do you guys think that Jaco will ever get animated? Like getting a few 30 minutes OVA's or something?

What makes you say that? It was only a bonus back-up story.
Because anything Dragon Ball gets animated these days and if the JSAT and EoB specials are put out, I don't see why DB Minus wouldn't, when it's arguably much more relevant information. Toei might not do it, though, because it conflicts with their own special.

Well, look at the recently announced so-called "Jaco" figures. The only figure that was not a character that was in DB Minus was a character that's a lead DB character. It's really insulting and ridiculous but it's the truth. The marketing is in the DB connection.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:
Someone else contacted me a while ago asking if I was the same "Medama Oyaji" who was involved with the Brazilian DB fan community. If that's who you think I am, I'm sorry for the confusion, but that is not me. I wasn't aware of him/her when I chose this alias.

Oh! So sorry! And yes... I thought you were him. You joined here pratically at the same time he left that community, same name... And I heard he uses to visit Jaco's topic. But okay then. Sorry anyway!

If Neko Majin Z hasn't been animated yet, even as a short gag OVA or something, I don't think Jaco as a whole will be either.
Though I won't rule out bits and pieces potentially being used for flashback material in the future or something. If Freeza thinks back to planet Vegeta's destruction in the new movie, since Toriyama is writing it, it would likely be the Jaco/DB- incarnation.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Keep in mind that both Cashman and Ackman have received video games and anime adaptations...
