Holy Hell, There's Going to Be More Dragonball Z
Posted at 10:14 AM Oct 01, 2008
All right, you TR-reading anime-haters—just sit this one out. Don't take this from us, because frankly, we've been hurt long enough with the live-action Dragonball movie that we deserve a little good news in piece. And good news it is—there's going to be a new animated DBZ special, written by none other than DBZ creator Akira Toriyama himself—this means it's fully authentic, people. Set two years after the end of th Majin Buu saga, the 35-minute short will star Vegeta's new, previously unknown brother—that's him up above.
Now for the bad news: 1) the short will only be shown at the Jump Super Anime Tour, so it's you're not going to be in Japan, you're not going to be seeing it. 2) Despite being written by Toriyama, this sounds exactly like the plot of one of the many terrible DBZ movies. 3) Toriyama has spent the last 15 or so years doing nothing but swimming in a huge vault of yen, Scrooge McDuck-style, so it remains to be seen if he still has his chops—or if he's going to even try that hard, or just wants to make a few more million to finish a solid gold statue of a topless Bulma. But let's just concentrate on the positives—new DBZ! (Via Japanator)
