"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Chuquita]

Oh my goodness and a plethora of swear words, Chioka Kimitoshi is the series director. Best series director confirmed.

I don't know who Chioka Kimitoshi is, but that's good feelings if this post means he's a talented guy. :3

[bleed0range]

don't get your hopes up, it's animated by neo Toei, you know the ones that ruined One Piece.

I don't really watch One Piece... what's the current animation look like?

[GeeRod]

MY GOD! I saw a post on facebook about this new series and I was like ''Yea, maybe is a Dragon Ball Heroes anime, nothing important'' lol

YES! YES! Can't believe I lived enough to see a new Dragon Ball series, I'm shaking right now.

[Kuwabara]

Man, what is the Web 2.0 generation going to think of this show when it starts airing? Is FUNimation going to do an online simulcast? Before the Resurrection F premiere in LA I would have said no, but they're starting to act like the Japanese version actually exists now, so who knows? Regardless, "FUNimation Z" fans are going to be just as crazy about this show when it comes out as the type of people who post here, and they're going to have to deal with Nozawa...

ScholarGohan, i love you, seriously!

[Cold Skin]

This is awesome!

Prepare to see the same kind of plot than in Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F', meaning pure Toriyama!
Prepare to see the kind of animation Toei does today with stuff like Sailor Moon Crystal, meaning all impressive digital and even more refined and corrected for the Blu-ray releases and the foreign masters!
Prepare for Sumitomo's score just like for Kai and the movies, meaning both fun and epic!

A brand new series showing a story by Toriyama, that just didn't happen since... Dragon Ball Z many years ago!
Enjoy it all the way, and don't bitch around simply cause you'll never get the original Z discovery back! No need for depressive "yeah, but it doesn't feel like before". Of course it doesn't, it's its own new thing!

[Shiyonasan]

Only one I'll say in this thread before I leave to let others comment on it...

I'm...SUPER...excited to see this new anime.

...alright, I'm out.

Oh my goodness and a plethora of swear words, Chioka Kimitoshi is the series director. Best series director confirmed.

Can you fill us in on some of the stuff he or she has done? Any highlights?

Yes. Chioka storyboarded both World Trigger Episode #23 and Disk Wars: Avengers Episode #27. One Piece Episode #690 was also storyboarded by Chioka. I believe he might have also storyboarded the first act or so of the 2013 Dragon Ball Z film. Chioka was the series director of Hakaba Kitarou, which also starred Nozawa Masako. Here is a picture of Chioka, on the left. You may find some more of his credits here.

Chioka is pretty good with action, but I think his biggest strength is his work in non-action episodes. He keeps things dynamic and interesting. If he works with a good animation supervisor and key animators he'll probably pull off a great first episode, at least.

S better not be just Goku/Vegeta show

I think everyone will get to shine in this.

[jcogginsa]

THE HYPE IS REAL!

I cannot wait!

[Angelus]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID HERMS OR VegettoEX COMMENT ON THIS YET?

[samuraix123]

I love the fact that everyone see's it and their eyes just kinda rolls over it because we're so used to seeing fakes and such that we just assume right off the bat, It's fake. but this time the jokes on us. My brother has been harping on me all morning now saying ''See! I told you that guy at Gamestop knew what he was talking about!) Ugh..I still believe it was a lucky coincidence on his part because there's no way he could have had REAL! legit information on this when the people of Kanzenshuu didn't. Nope! I refuse to believe it.

[SSuperVegito]

OMG! , YES A NEW DB Series ^_^ omg can't be more excited for this

[Btown Saiyan]

This is amazing! I'm so hyped for this new series.

Well that last part might not happen, there is a strong chance FUNi will do a simuldub. I am not sure what you mean haven't FUNi always acted like the Japanese version existed? All (except RotD) their home release's are dual audio.

The hundreds of random YouTube channels as well, that would constantly post about a rumoured new Dragon Ball series etc. It was all a load of rubbish. None of those had any legit information. They just added 2+2 and came up with 5. This has been going on for years now though.

It was difficult to believe at first. I still don't know if I fully believe it!

[Noah]

This is amazing! I'm so hyped for this new series.

I don't know I would be more hyped if they went in something original apart from the last movies, but I a little hyped too!

I don't want see SSJG anymore!

[Chuquita]

We probably won't if F is anything to go on. I for one would welcome the adorable ssjg Gokû back with open arms, however. :3

He sounds awesome. X3 Will watch the video as soon as get home.

Goku&Vegeta will probably get a ssgss3 in the 2nd or 3rd arc.
