Dragon Ball Super set to premiere on July 5 in Japan, and episodes will run every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT (1996 to 1997), almost two decades ago. The anime’s narrative takes place a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful haven once again. But that surely can’t last.
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 Osamu Nozaki as producers. Kido entered Toei just as the company was animating the Dragon Ball Z anime’s Frieza arc. Masako Nozawa, the voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, is returning for the series.
There’s also a manga coming out based on the coming Dragon Ball Super series, and is set to be penned by Toyotarō and he recently revealed a first look at Goku.
Also recently, the franchise has enjoyed a reinvigoration with renowned animated features with Battle Of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsi no F. There is also Dragon Ball Xenoverse on the video game front that has been receiving some fanfare as well.
Dragon Ball Super series begins to Fuji TV + other channels in Japan on July 5th 2015
