Dragon Ball gets a brand new anime series this year

2015, is the year of the Dragon. Dragon Ball that is. And I ain’t talking about clamping off seminal tubes in the most dangerous veterinary in the world. No sir, I’m talking about the legendary anime series Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. Those various shows wrapped up years ago however, leaving a gap that could only be filled with sporadic movie releases and relentless video game tie-ins. But Dragon Ball is coming back to the small screen baby, so set your channel to 9000 and get pumped!

The new series is called Dragon Ball Super, and it’ll feature the regular cast as they tackle a new threat from beyond that eclipses the power of Freeza and Majin Buu. It’s the first new Dragon Ball series to be produced since Dragon Ball GT from 1996, and it’ll debut on Fuji TV this July according to ANN. The Goku family voice actor Masako Nozawa described the anime title as “we’ve always used the word ‘ch?’ (Super) with Dragon Ball in commercials, games and the like, but the fact that the series titled Dragon Ball Super is beginning is the best thing ever.”

Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama will still be credited for his work, as well as “original story & character concepts,” while Toei Animation’s Kimitoshi Chioka serves as the series director. There’s no word yet on what kind of threats the new series will show off, but I’m certain that the dangers hinted by Bills in Battle Of The Gods will make an appearance of some sort. KAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEE HOORAY!

In the meantime, the next Dragon Ball Z film, Resurrection of F, gets an English dub release in the Northern summer. Thanks for the link Umar.

      Didn’t Goku finally disappear at the end of GT?

      Really asking since it has been almost 20 odd years since we watched it.

        he did, but this happens after DBZ, after the buu saga.
        same place as the current movies.

          Only because it’s not ‘canon’, i.e. not in Manga. So this new anime falls in the same category 😛

      That’s like hoping Krillin doesn’t die. Vegeta needs to go back to his roots and blow some shit up.

        Thinking in the line of whle Goku fights the “big bad”, Vegeta gets to take down someone like the “big bad lieutenant”. That guy needs to mock Vegeta and try to humiliate him (even more than being second to Goku) so he can have a moral and physical victory without “competing” with Goku. And Krillin…

          Loooooool
          Yeah, Vegeta needs to snap in this new series and I don’t mean shouting for two episodes only to get bitch slap in the first few seconds of the fight. But it’s nice to know he’s around when Goku’s not.

    Stop calling him Bills. He’s Beerus (Beers is also acceptable, but less so). I can accept people calling Goku “Son”, but Bills is just wrong..
    Go google images “bills”. Now google image “beerus”. I win 😛 (yes, I know that’s a bad argument)
