The Rest

Dragon Ball Super is the first Dragon Ball series in 18 years. This comes in the wake of the first Dragon Ball film theatrical release in 17 years, Resurrection F. It's a renaissance!

The show comes from "a story and character concepts" by Akira Toriyama, the creator of the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z manga that was adapted into the popular anime you know and love. Dragon Ball GT, the last series, which ran from 1996-1997 in Japan, was completely original and did not adapt the manga. It didn't do so hot.

“As I read the plot [of the series] I’ve already received from Akira Toriyama, my dreams for this begin to expand, ” said Fuji TV producer Osamu Nozaki. “An enemy even stronger than Buu or Freeza may appear …”

Well this is all certainly exciting. More as we learn it!
