Agreed. The problem with so many bloated franchises today is that they just don't know when to end, or, more specifically, that those holding the reigns continue to love to beat a dead horse hoping that its spastic twitching might cause more money to rain down from the sky.
Absolutely beautiful, this is going in my sig.
Aw, thank you, although it's possible the spastic twitching of a dead horse might be paraphrasing a bit from Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation. It sounds like something he might say.
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:

If anything, the original Dragonball should get the "Kai" treatment...

No, the DB already quite fast paced, just some little filler so it won't needed

Exactly. If they made a new series (or a new special) Goku and Vegeta could fall back into obscurity, like going off somewhere else in the universe to train. Z ended with plenty of characters who have yet to do anything too substantial.

-Uub was handed the torch of being Earth's new protector by Goku himself, and could be the new lead character, and Pan has potential to be a main protagonist as well.

-Goten and Trunks had zero character development since their introduction (unless you count creating a new character as character development), and have the perfect opportunity to shine. They were only around for about 4 in-universe days in Z (including the epilogue).

-Mr. Buu is a new powerful ally who has yet to be properly used outside of ONE battle.

I think that alone would make for a decent new main cast of protagonists.

Not only that, but Krillin and Tenshinhan starting up Martial Arts schools has already been established as a possible side plot.

Still, that's not to say that there hasn't already been enough material created, or that something like this would be in any way necessary.

My sequel/spin-off ideas would be to have a maxi-series of some kind, meaning a planned out series of 26 or 52 eps (probably 52) that knows it's going to end once it reaches episode 26/52.

Series Plot: Something to do with bringing peace to the Demon Realm, which Kaioshin decided to attempt since, having fused with Kibito and since Dabura is dead, he should have had no problems getting it under control. Some new big bad (preferably a Makaioshin) stomps him, so Goku and co go there to save him. Demon/Makaioshin is light years beyond Boo, he just never bothered to leave the Demon Realm because he liked how it was the only purely chaotic realm in the Cosmos, which he likes. After that story arc, we learn through Ro Kaioshin that there are other realms like Kaioshinkai "orbiting" the Cosmos filled with people much stronger than Boo ever was, which makes our heroes want to visit them. On their journeys, they discover the other realms are under the control of some super big bad, who poses a threat to Kaiosinkai and the Cosmos. Series ends when they defeat him.

What they could do is show characters that aren't in the spotlight. I've said this before, but, besides Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Bulma, and Trunks, nobody really has their full backstory told.

I mean, what was Lunch doing throughout everything?
What was Popo doing?
What was Yajirobe doing before we met him?
What about Frieza, or Cooler, or King cold.
There are hundreds of possibilities here.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

I don't believe another Dragonball series will ever be necessary or needed. However, it was nice to get that Jump Tour Special after so many years with no new Dragonball features being released. Lupin III had a new movie every year for a long, long time after the series ended. I would love to see a classic series like Dragonball start to get new features periodically. I really enjoyed the last one, and believe many side stories could be told in this manner.

Anything is possible, but this is really the only thing I see as plausible.
"Of" =/= "Have"

Contractions:
-Should have = Should've
-Could have = Could've
-Would have = Would've

The heck does "should of" even mean anyway? Think about what those two words mean individually, and then try to read them back to back in a sentence and make sense of it. Are you forming a prepositional phrase, is "should" a part of a larger grouping, or are you just typing random words based on how you think you hear them used verbally? Perhaps take a moment to contemplate this, and see if it becomes as mind jarring for you to look at as it does for me..

Agreed. If Toei is going to make a new DB movie or OVA, it's going to be hard for them to think up a halfway decent and interesting plot, like the JSAT special.

I got it!! :D Since Dragon Ball Online is Toriyama's work, why don't we adapt it as a anime series called Dragon Ball: The Next Generation since Dragon Ball GT is "classified" in a alternate universe.

I agree, they can do OVAs about the Dragon World pre Goku

I don't think there would be a new series but just a Kaid version of Dragon Ball, which would be totally awesome^^

What are you talking about? AF is already a reality. They show it right after Kai every Sunday in Japan! I know it's real because my cousins wifes uncles nephew told me!

Nah, just kidding. :P But if Toei wanted to make a new series they would have already made it by now. I mean what more can they do? Sure, they can do a continuation of GT with Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. as the stars, but wouldn't it just be the same thing over and over again?

How about the continuation of the DBZ Anime/Manga - the anime adaption of Dragon Ball Online. I doubt Toei can make that.

Nah, it would just consist of a cliched time travel plot. I want something original.

216 years after the 28th Budokai, simple. I'd safe to assume is after GT.
