Forums - Movies & TV - Anime - Dragon Ball Is Getting Its First New TV Anime in 18 Years

 

It’s called Dragon Ball Super. And it’s the first new, original Dragon Ball television anime in nearly two decades.

The last Dragon Ball TV anime, Dragon Ball GT, aired from 1996 to 1997.

Yahoo News (via tipster Pyke) and Famitsu report that Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama will be handling the new anime’s story. The series will take place after Goku defeats Majin Buu, and the world has become a peaceful place again.

In Japanese, the title is Dragon Ball Chou (Super), as “chou” (超) means “super,” “hyper,” “ultra,” or even “very.”

The reason for the “chou” naming, Goku’s voice actor Masako Nozawa, explains is that the word is always used in Dragon Ball commercials, video games, and whatnot. Now it will go in the title of the new animated series that is set to air starting this July in Japan.

HELLZ YEAH!!! I'm down for this. I wonder if the animation will look like the current movies. I know that it's expensive to bring in those type of animators. Anyway, I don't care about that really! I just want the show to pick back up and have a great story. Also give the saiyans back their tails. They're saiyans for crying out loud!!! Hehe

Awesome, I'm guessing the success of the last 2 movies led to this

Today in things the world doesn't need :P

Btw. the new Digimon Adventure anime should start "soon" I think, now that's something I'm actually a little excited for, Digimon Adventure was so awesome back in the day.



😇/😈 YES!

been hoping this would happen since battle of gods.



With Toriyama involved I can say I'm fucking hyped for this.
