A Chance Of A New DB Series?

Post by Goku100xKamehameha » Thu Jun 03, 2010 10:26 pm

This is only 100% speculation. seeing DB Kai quite a success in Japan (always in top 10 on the ratings but unfortunately never make it to top 3) and America (no.1 ratings on Nicktoons but they probably doesn't count America thought), maybe Toei will make a new DB series or maybe they make AF a reality (probably not) after DB Kai end?

If maybes were horses, then there's be a lot more horses in the world.

Anything's possible, but not everything's likely.

Toei's too cheap to make a new DB series, no matter how well Kai does. TT_TT
I think Toei's also afraid of any new series ending up as another GT where it sinks after only 64 episodes. >_>


BUT, if they were neither of these, I would want something light like the recent Jump Tour special that takes place during one of the time skips; preferably the one used for the Jump Tour special--the 10 years inbetween Buu and Uub--but I'd like it to be several years after that so I could have teen Trunks and teen Goten. I also really liked the fun side of Goku and Vegeta's rivalry in that special, so more of that too.

The reason Gt gets such a bad rap is because there was a huge lack of action and the animation was bluntly rushed and lazy and the crappiest of all the shows history. Just look at ANY time Kid Goku shoots a kamehameha while 'in space' or on an alien planet, they make his fingers tiny little nubs with no knuckles or anything. Also at the tournament theres a pan across like 6 characters faces licking a lollipop and they ALL have the very same eyes.

The reason Kai exists is because they do not want to do a new series after the big fiasco GT became.

I would love it if they filled us in on what happened in between Z and GT, but there probably wouldn't be a lot of action, so maybe they could make it a mini-series of some sort.

I would rather they do 1 or 2 movies a year after Kai finishes, actually

From the looks of things, we got Kai instead of a new series.

Because Toei is cheap, and like Funimation with the Orange Bricks, they know people will eat this shit up anyway. Weep.

The biggest problem with GT is that it was so unnecessary. There really wasn't anywhere else to take these characters. Enough already. There's plenty of material as it is.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I can't agree more with this.There's 508 episodes when you combine all 3 series. 4 DB movies, 13 DBZ movies, 3 TV specials and 2 OVAs. We really don't need anymore at all. If that's not enough for you to rewatch for the rest of your life you need to take a few trips outside.

You can do PLENTY with the characters after Z:

Without Goku, what;s Vegeta going to do?

Goten and Trunks desperately need to power up, they got left behind in the power department.

How is Gohan handling being the strongest?

How did Uub handle different part of his training?

What was up with Tien and Yamcha, and Krillin's family?

I have to disagree, Toriyama created a world full possibilities and characters (if done right) who can hold up an interesting story/adventure of their own. GT was bad because it was poorly written. It was ridding off the success of Z and Toei thought the cashcow would last little bit longer as long as Goku was the star.

Perhaps I'm being biased because as a fan I would love nothing more than watch a new DB series. But I think it's doable, ain't gonna happen but doable.

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.

I think it would be cool if they made a series around the world envisioned in Dragon Ball Online.

However, do I think it would happen and/or am holding out hope for it? No. Then again, I never expected Gundam Unicorn - the novel - to ever get animated, and here we are looking at an OVA. I guess it could happen, but it's not very likely. Regardless, I'm on the bandwagon that believe Dragon Ball as a story has come to an end anyway, it just seems complete as it is now.

Are you really not satisfied with 508 episodes and 17 movies? This series ended like 4 times already.

(Is Path to Power a movie? I was never clear on that.)

Technically that would be a remake of an existing series not a new one wouldn't it? That I guess I wouldn't mind as much. At least it wouldn't contain dumb shit like Vegeta's long lost brother.
