View Full Version : Dragon Ball Hoshi?
I've seen some websites that state that a new Dragon Ball series will take place. But then again, I personally think it's DBAF all over again.
What are your thoughts?

Sadly appears to be false, from what i've heard it's just a fake trailer using clips from Dragon Ball Heroes or some other game anyway. Too bad, a new Dragon Ball series would've been awesome if they did it right.

Fake. The scenes were taken from Dragon Ball Heroes.

its very likely fake, but then again a lot of old anime is getting a true reboot (full metal alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin etc) so there may be some truth in it.
Could be a Dragon Ball reboot, which would be sweet if they actually redo all the animation and not just the intro. Ahh a man can dream:)

Yeah, all those anime are indeed getting reboots, but that's because they hardly followed the original manga. The FMA anime couldn't be any more different from the manga without being an entirely new series, so they made Brotherhood; the exact same thing goes for Kenshin. The same can be said for Helsing, so on and so forth.
Dragon Ball, however, followed the manga extremely close, the only difference between the two being the filler (which was so expertly woven in that it's still difficult to tell the two apart) and a few minor aesthetic changes (in the manga Piccolo only has 4 fingers but in the anime he has 5 like a human). Going by the same logic most of these anime reboots have been following, there'd be no reason to make another Dragon Ball. Besides, Dragon Ball Kai was supposed to be the reboot anyway.
Add to that, if we do see another series it would just be done by Toei Animation. The only involvement Akira Toriyama would have with it would be giving permission to Toei to make it. Toriyama stopped caring about DB after the Frieza Saga (by his own admission), which is the main reason he didn't do GT; he desperately wanted to move on and finish the series, but his publishers pretty much forced him to keep writing more. When it came time for GT, he got out as fast as he could. The biggest thing people hated about GT is that "oooooh, it's not canon because Toriyama didn't write it" and all that, so unless people can get over the fact that Toriyama vomits every time he sees DB because it's been rammed down his throat so much, I doubt a new series would go over too well.
I'm happy by the main series being kept alive by the video games and random fan mangas and OVAs that pop up occasionally. While a new series would be kinda cool at first, I think it'd get old fast among fans. Only the hardest core fans would stick along, and it wouldn't be enough to fund the anime.

Don't forget we already had Dragon Ball Kai, which actually did follow the manga to the letter. All filler materials were removed, things that didn't happen in the manga was removed as well.
They remade some fighting scenes with new updated art (not the entire series sadly!), and had finished it at the end of the Cell Saga. There's been no new plans for a new DB series at all from that point, so I'm not counting on anything. And I know for a fact that this whole Dragon Ball Hoshi thing is a hoax, because all the scenes are simply from Dragon Ball Heroes. Just because there's a few scenes available that looks real doesn't mean an entirely new show is being made.
Of course it'd be awesome to have a full remake or whatever with NEW updated art all the time, I don't think we'll be seeing it sadly. :(

Very true, agree with every word =)

I remember he wanted to stop after the Cell arc, but he got screwed over by the publisher and fans alike, didn't know he wanted to stop at Frieza though, Looking at it though it does make the most logical choice since he achieved his once in a thousand years legendary Super Saiyan (not the whole Super Saiyans going out of business sale I believe Vegeta made note of to Trunks).
Now that you mention it also, I couldn't tell the difference between the canon and filler in DB, granted I never read the early DB Manga, but you can usually tell when you view them, One of the few instances where filler is actually woven well into the story.
Also off topic, but how much did FMA differentiate from the manga? I watched and enjoyed Brotherhood (only due to someone having it on their external) so am somewhat curious.

FMA's later story and ending are different than Brotherhood, I still enjoyed it very much but liked Brotherhood better than FMA. I would still recommend watching it because its interesting how they do the story differently than Brotherhood and its definitely worth checking out.

For all you num skulls out there,Dragon Ball Hoshi is real however it is only real in japan.It's a Arcade trading card game and all they did was take some clips and try to make it into something it's not.Have you learned from dragon ball AF? aka April fools this was another joke.After dragon ball Z they were gonna stop but the fans wanted more so they made dragon ball gt but they still want more becuz at the end of gt goku seemed like he can get to another level.
But regardless there will be no more dragon ball z since the guy don't want to make more.

There are other differences between FMA and the manga/Brotherhood. For instance, when Ed and A try to bring their mother back and Ed loses his leg and Al his whole body, then Ed sacrifices his arm to bring Al's soul back; in both instances Ed passes through the "gate", but in the anime the gate is filled with crazed Shadow Children that steal Ed's limbs, while in the manga there is only one very civil Shadow Child named Truth who carries on a short conversation with Ed before his shit gets robbed by dark hands. And that's one of the little differences! The endings are completely different, the story progresses in different ways (in the anime Scar kills Nina in an alley while her father is arrested but in the manga Scar kills them both in their house), stuff like that. It might as well be a completely different story for all the changes they make.
Personally, I watched FMA first when it aired on Adult Swim, then watched Brotherhood later on Netflix because my fiance is such a huge FMA fan and she talked me into it. I enjoyed the order I watched them in, and it seems kinda obvious that Brotherhood was made for the sole purpose of shoving continuity in the face of the FMA anime (a lot like DBKai is to DBZ - as if to say "I follow the manga and FMA doesn't"); I think if you watched Brotherhood first then you might not like FMA that much, you'll look at it and say "that's not what happens".
