Following The Sailor Moon News, Another Awesome Series Is Getting A New Anime


Akira Toriyama, Toei Make Dragon Ball Z Film Next March


This year's 33rd issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Saturday that the upcoming new film adaptation of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga will be released on March 30.



The film will be directed by Masahiro Hosoda (Dragon Ball Z episode director, Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun) at Toei and written by Yūsuke Watanabe (live-action 20th Century Boys trilogy, Gantz, Bloody Monday, Future Diary), with Tadayoshi Yamamuro (Dragon Ball Movie 4: The Path to Power, Beet the Vandel Buster) acting as the lead animation director.

The announcement also features the URL www.dragonball2013.com, which currently redirects to a blank page on Toei's official website with the URL http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/movie/2013_dragonballz/.

In a comment printed alongside the announcement, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama notes that the adaptation will mark the first time he has been so deeply involved in the production of an anime, in this case as early as the screenwriting stages. Toriyama also says that the film will retain the atmosphere of the original while adding small amounts of "modern flavor."

The announcement lists Fox International Productions Japan as a member of the film's production committee, alongside Shueisha, Fuji TV, Toei Animation, Bandai, and Bandai Namco Games.

The official website for the magazine had already opened a "D" teaser page with a countdown to a "surprise" on Saturday, July 14.

Update: More film details added.


Update 2: Details regarding film's production committee added. Thanks to Liam for the tip.

TRUTH. I was much more emotionally invest in the Sailor Moon characters than the Dragon Ball Z ones.
akaich0u 11th-Jul-2012 05:27 am (UTC)
They're both legendary. You should've seen me in the year 2000-2001. Those two fandoms were the only things I did on the internet.

(with Neopets and/or AOL Kids breaks in b/w)
choukoumei 11th-Jul-2012 05:29 am (UTC)
You speak truth. Dragonball was really cute but once it started going into Z and GT it was just nonstop fighting with no plot.
ptr28 11th-Jul-2012 04:32 am (UTC)

brucelynn 11th-Jul-2012 04:33 am (UTC)

My library used to carry DB manga, until a mother complained when her child read this scene! Had to say, all the adults laughed their ass off when they heard about this incident.
sideshowkat 11th-Jul-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
Sailor Moon and DBZ news all in the same week? My 15 year old self is shaking and crying right now like you can't even imagine.

Gundam Wing next plz!

omg I'm so excited. I feel like I'm 10 dedicating afterschool to Toonami
clothingaddict 11th-Jul-2012 05:05 am (UTC)
Yes to Gundam Wing!! Dammit, I wanna know what happens to the boys. I heard about that new manga they released, and the endings were most unsatisfactory.
daisyazul 11th-Jul-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
OMG GW was my second crack lol I heard there's a new manga for it, which is like 20 years after Endless Waltz, not sure, though.
ivysaur 11th-Jul-2012 06:31 am (UTC)
tbh, it doesn't seem all that good. I was disappointed by a lot of the spoilers.
sayou123 11th-Jul-2012 06:17 am (UTC)
they should play DBZ in Toonami again since it has returned XD
maisontv 11th-Jul-2012 06:23 am (UTC)
OMG YES. Gundam Wing was my life. Best Gundam series, hands down.





I think I'm going to bust out my DVDs tomorrow for a rewatch.
ivysaur 11th-Jul-2012 06:33 am (UTC)
Gundam Wing was my favorite, UC purists can stfu. I miss all the old GW fanfic archives.

There's a recent sequel manga, but the things I heard about it don't seem very promising.
brucelynn 11th-Jul-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)
Another GW movie would be great

I dunno if I want them to reboot the series though
m_pendulum 11th-Jul-2012 04:46 am (UTC)
We need to get reboots of Cardcaptor Sakura, Magical Knight Rayearth, Utena and other shojo that gets neglected because shonen gets the most mainstream attention. I want to see girls kicking ass damn it!
_____faith 11th-Jul-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
I loved CCS and Utena as they were, though tbh. Especially CCS as Madhouse did a pretty great job with the animation. That is...unless you're talking about the dreadful dubs? MKR could definitely use a reboot...and speaking of CLAMP - RG Veda as well!

I'm still waiting for more seasons of Full Metal Panic! first...
m_pendulum 11th-Jul-2012 04:57 am (UTC)
In the case of CCS, I am mostly speaking of the dub. That needs to be fixed like 10 years ago. Utena is wonderful, but with a bigger budget it could certainly be even better although since the va for Utena is dead (R.I.P) it would be bittersweet to have someone else voice her and yes that dub was pretty poor in comparison as well.

I guess I just want more magical girl/shojo anime out there period. Dub it, reboot it, whatever just give it to me.

I'm so glad Fun is dubing michiko to hatchin
ivysaur 11th-Jul-2012 06:38 am (UTC)
mte. I loved CCS, though I wouldn't mind a sequel, so long as my flawless sassy queen Meiling got to be in it. ngl, I know that most people prefer the manga, but I prefer the anime because of her.
abiding 11th-Jul-2012 05:01 am (UTC)
OMG I would kill for CCS to be rebooted.
daisyazul 11th-Jul-2012 05:10 am (UTC)
I remember Cardcaptors, it was on WB I think
soavantgarde 11th-Jul-2012 05:16 am (UTC)
here for cardcaptor sakura!

I need to finish watching the subbed episodes, I only made it to the first movie and then I kind of stopped

tomoyo >>>>>>
sayou123 11th-Jul-2012 06:19 am (UTC)
Card Captor Sakura *faints thats a flawless anime execpt the ending lol I didnt like shaoron li lol
maisontv 11th-Jul-2012 06:27 am (UTC)
The CCS dub is seriously the worst dub in history, but I can't bring myself to fully hate it because it gave us this truly amazing theme song.





If you tell me you didn't start singing along with this just now, you are a liar.
gabzillaz 11th-Jul-2012 01:30 pm (UTC)
CCS was perfection, though. No need to touch it.

I wouldn't complain if we got a well done sequel, though. As long as somebody is watching CLAMP like a hawk to make sure they don't do another TRC.
_____faith 11th-Jul-2012 04:46 am (UTC)
I approve of the rebooting/revamping of classics as long as it's done well

hunty 11th-Jul-2012 04:47 am (UTC)
ugh no thank you

not here for another GT
brucelynn 11th-Jul-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
This might be 10x better because Toriyama is involved this time
fwee_prower 11th-Jul-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
i expect reboot news by the end of the week.
maisontv 11th-Jul-2012 06:30 am (UTC)
They were working on a remake back in 2009 (even released a teaser trailer), but I assume the project fell through.
nikonplix not here for that11th-Jul-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
Yu Yu Hakusho is the superior anime js.
brucelynn Re: not here for that11th-Jul-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
Stop telling lies Dean!!

I love that series but DBZ is better
nikonplix Re: not here for that11th-Jul-2012 04:55 am (UTC)
No, man--everything about Yu Yu is flawlefree. characters/bad guys/protagonists/lore. And it was funny, to boot.

DBZ fights lasted forever. Like. It was torture.

Plus Kurama.
shining_starsxx Re: not here for that11th-Jul-2012 04:57 am (UTC)
Yu Yu Hakusho was so flawless.Kuwabara was my king.
liferule91 Re: not here for that11th-Jul-2012 05:04 am (UTC)
this truth serum you sipping.

no lies detected.
donatello 11th-Jul-2012 05:24 am (UTC)
