With the non-cannon Dragon Ball GT wrapping up in 1997, there has not been an official Dragon Ball anime series for roughly 18 years.  That changes this July.  

Dragon Ball Super, a new DBZ series from Akira Toriyama, will reportedly start "a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, during a time when the Earth is peaceful". There's not a lot of details at this time but Dragon Ball fans around the globe are very excited by the news.  The main question on most minds is just where will the series begin in terms of continuity, before or after the new films? Expect more details on the project to be revealed as the series premiere date draws closer.

Earlier this year, Toei Animation released a second, new Dragon Ball anime, Dragon Ball Z: Ressurection of F.  It premiered in the US on April 11 in Los Angeles. Toei has announced plans for a wider, dubbed release of the film later this Summer.

Awesome! DBZ is my favorite animated series, so I'm excited for this!! I especially love that Toriyama is actually involved with this, unlike GT.

I'm hoping that Picollo and the Z-Fighters aren't pushed to the side and actually get a chance to shine this time around.

Niiice !

About the last movies, I guess they won't fit in the new storyline. No DBZ movie ever fit into the storyline without incoherences (except the very first one)

Didn't realise it has been that long! Hopefully people who watched Dragonball Evolution are not put off watching this.

I love it! And McGee... Because he wasn't involved is why GT only went 64 episodes and 1 movie. LOL! His touch was sorely missed.

McGee - 4/28/2015, 6:42 AM
LMAO! I wish they did more Dragonball P videos.
