"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[sintzu]

If the story was taking place after the movie, they would say that, not say it's after the Buu arc.

They probably said that so no one would think it's after Gt.

What a fucking story to wake up on!! My emotions are surprisingly reserved because I'm still trying to process everything...ok it's processed.

HOLY SHITTTTTT!


I just read this not too long after waking up, and I almost rolled my eyes again until I saw it was posted from Anime News Network. However even with ANN, I still had my doubts so I came here and read just about all I could of this thread before this forum will EXPLODE like no one's business today... Still at a loss for words.

My immediate thoughts also reflect some of the forum members here: This is way outta left field. Did we really ask for this?? How does this affect the future of the latest movie installments?

So many things left unanswered still, but one thing is for sure. GET ON BOARD THE HYPE TRAIN, IT'S GONNA BE CRAZY.
DRAGON BALL SUPER IS COMING!

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

So, "Dragon Ball Super" is trending worldwide on Twitter. As if there was any doubt on who number one is.

[Valerius Dover]

Well, guess they couldn't wait until May 9th. I guess this means no DB Kai, but this is even better! I never expected a new series to actually happen! Funi, please don't make us wait too long...

I see the state of the One Piece anime nowadays and it makes me really sad.

Can we trust Toei will put a big chunk of money behind this thing and give us quality production?

One Piece is full of filler so it's understandable.

I think they'll do everything they can to make this work so yes I think we can trust them.

[pappy]

This is blowing my mind! At the very most, I thought they might reanimate the series one day. But a new fricking show? Holy poop on a stick! I don't even care if it sucks. I really don't. It's all worth it for this mind blowage.

[EA575]

Animation wise, what can we expect from this? I see the state of the One Piece anime nowadays and it makes me really sad. Can we trust Toei will put a big chunk of money behind this thing and give us quality production?

What is Toeis best looking show?

I've been hearing this is their best animation-wise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Ds%C5%8Dgiga
Disk Wars has had some pretty good animators, too.

If we are getting a new anime i hope to god its non canon.

[Neon Z]

The way the press release is worded makes me think it's going to take place after the Buu saga but before BoGs, RoF, and the Tournament. It also mentions a villain being stronger than Buu. Well that's not exactly an intimidating thing if it's set after BoGs and RoF considering Goku and Vegeta are far stronger than Buu at that point.

It mentions a villain stronger than "Buu and Freeza". Freeza there obviously is referencing his new power, not his strength back in Namek.

Toriyama is behind this one, so it is definitely canon

[dbgtFO]

I'm looking forward to Dragon Ball Super replacing Dragon Ball Kai, as a sub-forum, make it happen VegettoEX

[sintzu]

Did we really ask for this??

How does this affect the future of the latest movie installments ?

We've been asking for this since 1995.

The movies will either :

1- continue to be written by Toriyama and set between the anime arcs
or
2- We won't get any for a few years like what's going on with One Piece.
or
3- They'll go back to be written as side stories by Toie like the original 13 were.

[EXBadguy]

If we are getting a new anime i hope to god its non canon.

Yeah, same here. Toriyama sure does love to ass-rape his own series without using Vaseline. And to anyone here who'll get offended, look at DB Minus.

Please don't get sumitomo for the music please get Yoshihisa Hirano or Shiroh Sagisu please please please.

Nah, get either Tataki or Daisuke Ishiwatari, or better yet, get both! A mixture or rock, metal, and orchestra really fits well for Dragon Ball(at least the second half).

[DBZ_Lee]

According to the English Toei Animation press release, it follows the events of Resurrection "F".

This is truly amazing, I don't think I've ever been this excited for any TV series, ever. Dragon Ball is back, and thank goodness Toriyama Sensei is overlooking this, and has provided the plot, we don't need another "GT" (my opinion).

[vegitot]

So this will be after Freeza's movie?
Or GT remake?
By the way,a very great news

[buutenks]

Cool,new series.Curious how it will turn out.

[sintzu]

We don't need another "GT" (my opinion).

That's pretty much everyone's opinion.

How long do you think they've been planning this ?

[EXBadguy]

Or GT remake?

PLEEEASE let it be that!

[UpFromTheSkies]

So this will be after Freeza's movie?
Or GT remake?
By the way,a very great news

The only thing we know is that it takes place after the defeat of Buu.

[Envy]

OMG. *squeals* Didn't think I'd ever see the day! I really hope that it turns out to be much better than GT.
