The TV anime "Dragon Ball Super" has been announced.

This is the latest TV animation work in the famous "Dragon Ball" series. The story will be completely new, based on the original story by the original author, Akira Toriyama, and will feature a story that has not been depicted in the original story before. The story takes place after Goku's epic battle with Majin Buu and the restoration of peace on Earth. The series director is Kimitoshi Jioka of "Graveyard Kitaro" and "God Family" fame.

Broadcasting will begin in July 2015 on Sundays from 9:00-9:30 pm on Fuji Television and other networks. Below are comments from those involved.

Masako Nozawa (as Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Son Goten)
I have heard the word "Super" used countless times in commercials, games, etc., but it is great that the series "Dragon Ball Super" is finally starting. I have been waiting for this new series for a long time, and it will be even better if it continues for a long, long time.（Hey, I'm glad to see you all again! I'm glad to see you all again.（Dad, I'm so happy to see you all! I'm really happy to see you all again!（Yay, I'm going to fuse with Trunks a lot more!（Everyone! Everyone!

(Producer, Fuji Television Network, Inc.)
I myself am thrilled and excited that the sequel to the "Dragon Ball" series that I used to watch with baited breath when I was a child will once again be a completely new animated television series, and that it will be based on a plot by Mr. Toriyama. I myself am thrilled and excited. As I read the plot that I have already received from Mr. Toriyama, my dreams continue to grow. I think there might even be an enemy stronger than Buu or Frieza... Please look forward to "Dragon Ball Super," the first new TV anime in 18 years!

Mutsumi Kido (Producer, Toei Animation)
I was assigned to "Dragon Ball Z" (when the "Frieza" episode aired) shortly after I joined the company. Although it was only for a very short time, I vividly remember the heat and tension at the site at that time. The essence of Dragon Ball back then has been passed on to the current production site, and with a renewed staff, we will bring you a completely new Dragon Ball in a good sense of the word. The entire staff is now devoting all their energy to the production of "Dragon Ball Super"! Please look forward to it!
