Would a new series of Dragonball be accepted?

I would LOVE to see a new Dragonball series! Except, I think that they should start with a new animated movie first, to make sure they have the stuff to pull off a good series. Then they can introduce the basis of the series from that movie, like how the old Disney cartoons like Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers started off with a 5 episode mini-arc to introduce the series.

You obviously haven't seen Naruto. Admittedly some of the recent filler hasn't been as good as past ones.

Neko Majin OVA or a One Piece & DBZ Crossover animation would be very, very nice however a new DB series, don't think so! With the DragonBox DVD boxsets as evidence, it's a classic anime and needs to stay that way. I know GT is a poop joke Toriyama never intended, but it's ended the series and making a series now, would probably be a 'GT 2007' with over-used story lines and character designs.

But also we have to notice that any continuation of the flop that was GT will be doomed to join "The Hall of Flops" itself. The issue with GT is that it focused too much on the fighting (if even possible), and not nearly enough on the characters and the story.

The story and characters is what made Dragon Ball (and DBZ) worth reading/watching over numerous other fighting series. The lack of this development what made GT so boring; so it was like an under-developed version of Z, that sickeningly lacked consistency with the previous series, story development, and character depth.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

DB and DBZ shouldn't be touched. A GT remake with consistently good animation and better planning and fixed plotholes would be nice, but it ain't gonna happen. One thing I would like would be an OVA-ish thing or two made out of one of the major arcs or conflicts. I wouldn't mind something new and awesomely-animated portraying the fight with Freeza, or the Cell Games, or the final battle with Kid Boo or something.

I agree. A new movie, then a new series taking place right after the movie's story.

I would personally like seeing a Neko Majin short series if anything. A new Dragonball OVA is about the only new thing Dragonball related I'd be interested in, and only then if it took the characters from the end of Z, as Akira Toriyama still draws them these days when he included them in Neko Majin.

Go watch Inuyasha and then complain about Naruto. A little more than half of the series is filler. Or at least thats what it seemed like

I would be all go for a new DB Series, providing it was remade by Toei Animation and not another company. Reason being is because sometimes i've noticed that with some remakes to an old show, the staff who remake it change some of the original show's previous concepts like characters etc, not saying that would happen and if not then yeah, a new remake would be fab!

While reading the latest posts, I was reminded of a little something called Dragon Ball Online... XD . Though that's been rather quiet on the news front lately...

DB Online? Yeah i read an artical about that, apparently its supposed to be released sometime in 2008 but i dunno if thats its confirmed year.

And going on topic to a DB remake, i heard something about 20th century fox making a remake to DB? Does anyone else have more info on this? I'm curious to know if its actually going to happen.

Not so much a remake, but a movie based on the franchise. They're two different things, implying that the second (which is what they're doing) is going to be a 'fresh, new, innovative' take on the concept/idea for the sake of selling christloads of toys and movie tickets.

Also- you have like, 500 episodes and 17 movies, for friths sake. Why do you need more? Why do you need 'new'? What could possibly happen bar a "NEW VILLIAN APPROACHES" type of scenario, which is what you'd get time after time?

Leave him alone

Jeez, I wasn't talking about how much filler, but how bad the filler is. Please read first, k' thanks.

Do you guys know how like the Gundam series - like Gundam Wing or Gundam Seed - all have different characters but leave the basic premise of it in?

Gundam Sagas and Gundam Wing w/e.

Why don't they just leave the "Dragonball" name intact and create new sagas of it, but with different characters. So that Dragonball can be like a new "Gundam" thing ha ha

You know how the new Japanese DB RPG is like? There are humans, nameks, and saiya-jins. Well wouldn't it be cool if we saw what a new generation saiya-jin looked like? Imagine if someone like Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) created a new DB anime in one year, then in four more years someone like Seiji Misuzhima (Daiguard, Shaman King, Full Metal Alchemist) created their own short OAV for it. I always pictured something like that would happen and I always thought it would be cool if Japan would begin doing that.

With the new Dragonball box sets (Japanese ones) selling so well, what would make Toei or Sunrise stop themselves from creating a new DB anime with new characters?

... You're not serious, are you? Dragonball without Goku is like One Piece without Luffy or Naruto without... Naruto... In fact, we already have Dragonball without Goku, it's called "Neko Majin Z". (Yes, I know he appears in the last two chapters, but still.

)

Also, as great as Eva and FMA are, adapting DB to be more like them?

What're they gonna do? Have Gohan as Shinji, Goku as Gendo and fly around in Oozaru mechas? (In fact... I'd probably like that for the sheer "WTF?" factor. XD)

Dragonball is Dragonball, and any reinterpretation would be ridiculous. Remember what happened last time they tried making up their own show? They gave Vegeta a moustache. That is a crime in of itself. (Not to say I don't like GT, it had great ideas. They just weren't always executed well...)

Any new series should be either a newly animated fillerless show based on the original manga or a series starring the adventures Satan and Buu.

I really hope someone draws that one day.

I'm kinda both with you and Rockerjeri. I WOULD like to see an Alternate reality Dragon Ball - but without Goku, whats the point? I wouldn't do all new cast, but all new scenerio, twist something and create a new storyline off that, sort of like the videogames have been doing for extra content recently. I know I STILL want them to animate the supersonic warriors 2's Broli, student of Mr. Satan arc...and Budokai Tenkaichi 2's Fateful Brothers storyline touched me more then I thought possible. Stuff like that would be nice to see in new animation.

I think seeing that a lot of the fandom has grown up, we wouldn't have all the bickering if we were to have a new series, just as long as Toriyama is involved and we don't get the repeat of GT. I would be happy just for another movie or a TV special myself!!!
