That would require an obscene amount of babysitting. And I happen to like eating, sleeping, working, recreation, and various other activities that aren't refreshing Kanzenshuu.

If all you want is news, that's what the website is for. The world won't end if it takes the site staff an hour or two to complete a proper article versus the mass rush of instant reactions. And besides which, a thread without any discussion in it may as well not be a thread at all.

With Kai as a precedent, we may end up making a new subforum anyway.

YES! YES! YES!

... Err-hem, sorry about that. Can't say I'm not worried it will be bad (and especially animation-wise, since it's Toei) but I'm excited nonetheless.

On the next exciting episode of the Dragon Ball continuation or step into the GT spiritual continuation. What will it be. I'm excited and scared.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Oh. My. God.
This is easily the biggest piece of news about DB I remember.
A friend told me about it, and I was hesitant to believe it after so many fakes, so I just thought "Kanzenshuu will know".
Again: OH. MY. GOD.

However, I'm more excited for the idea of a new series than the series itself, to be fair. Given Toei's quality in the last few years, how much Toriyama seems to have lost his grasp on the franchise (I didn't like his new bits of information in the Full Colors at all) and how I think the series was fine as it was, I fear that we end up changing on GT for another GT, and I don't think that it ill be necessarily better because of Toriyama's envolvement.

Wow, that was really unexpected. It makes me wonder how long this has been in production for.

Super excited though!
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

DB & Tiger and Bunny are my main fandoms, along with many other animes.

Happy about this, but also cautious with the expectations.

If anything, it's nice to see the fandom get excited about this :D

Maybe we'll finally get to see, what Gohan studies and works with.
Should be far easier in a tv series, than in a movie.

First off: Holy

Second: Shit.

Third. :o

So...New Dragonball series. Was not expecting this, figured too high of a risk, or too expensive, but no, bona-fide new series...sweet.

So....how's this going to be handled in America?

Dubbed by Funi and stuck on Toonami / [as] at 8:00? Need to have a nice dub for once, instead of needlessly changed and censored like every other dub.

A tv series really opens up the possibility to show all of those minor details. That's why it's way better than new movies IMHO.

It's said that an enemy even stronger than Buu or Freeza may appear but mentions nothing of Cell... Golden Cell? :lol:

So basically the law of the land is that news like this has to break while I'm either 1) away from the computer, 2) asleep, or 3) at work, right? Because...AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I seriously...I don't even...is this real? Is this real life? I didn't end up in a coma in my sleep and have entered fantasy land have I?

That said though, I'm actually...well, I'm not not sure how to feel. I'm excited, but we know so little about it that it's hard to speculate, more so than it was for a movie anyway, since those are more-or-less self contained stories compared to a series.

I just can't believe it's actually, finally happening after all these years.

Seriously, though, if FUNimation isn't able to Simulcast this, I will cry. Please, grant us this Toei!

Freeza is the first villain again to feel the wrath and be humiliated by the new SSGSSj as I predicted before.
