Dragon Ball Super: a luglio, un nuovo anime scritto da Akira Toriyama

Giunge a sorpresa l'annuncio di una nuova serie animata per Dragon Ball, dal titolo Dragon Ball Chou (Super), che sarà trasmessa su Fuji TV a partire dal prossimo luglio.

La storia, scritta dall'autore del manga originale Akira Toriyama, sarà ambientata dopo la saga di Majin Bu e vedrà Goku e i suoi compagni impegnati contro nemici più forti del demone rosa o del tiranno spaziale Freezer, quest'ultimo attualmente "resuscitato" con una nuova trasformazione e nuovi propositi di vendetta nel nuovo film Fukkatsu no F, uscito nei cinema giapponesi da una decina di giorni.

Dragon Ball Gets 1st New TV Anime in 18 Years in July
Dragon Ball Super, a brand new television anime inspired by Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga, will premiere on Fuji TV and other channels in July on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired from 1996 to 1997.

The story of the anime is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again. The voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, Masako Nozawa commented on the new anime, saying, “We've always used the word 'chō' (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.”

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

Toriyama is credited as the original creator, as well as for "original story & character concepts." Toei Animation's Kimitoshi Chioka (Hakaba Kitarō, Kamisama Kazoku) is the series director, and Naoko Sagawa (Yomiko Advertising, Inc.) and Atsushi Kido (Toei Animation) join Nozaki as producers. Kido entered Toei just as the company was animating the Dragon Ball Z anime's Freeza arc.

A new film taking place after the Majin Buu Saga, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (key visual seen right,) premiered in Japan earlier this month. The film will eventually screen in 74 countries worldwide. Funimation hosted the North American premiere of the film on April 11 in Los Angeles. The company plans to release the film in more theaters with an English dub this summer.
