All-New Dragonball Z OAV

*ZariusTwo* · 07-08-2008, 07:12 PM

Well at least something is coming out of this mess

Akira Toriyama is writing and producing a new Dragonball Z OAV to be released alongside the movie. It's in continuity and takes place during the ten year gap between the conclusion of the Kid Buu Saga and the ending of the series

(The One Peice news is unrelated, it's simply announcing the adaptation of "Romance Dawn")

I'm looking forward to seeing this (and the One Piece OVA)!

Great! Hopefully it'll have the same production values as the "Path to Power" movie. I'm looking forward to this, if only because that art kinda sorta hints that my favorite characters, the non-Saiyans, might actually get to DO SOMETHING!

That's the one thing that always irked me about DBZ. After the Frieza Saga ended, Yamcha, Tien and Chao-tzu got completely shafted because they couldn't keep up with all the Saiyans (despite their training with King Kai meaing that they should have been a lot closer than they portrayed). They let Krillen stay around, but as an annoying comedy relief character who contributed nothing but forced laughs.

"Tree of Might" will always be my favorite of the movies because it gave all those non-Saiyan characters a last hoorah as actual, capable fighters who could keep up with Goku to an extent.

On a side note, didn't Toriyama do a One Piece/DBZ crossover manga or something? Or was that just a really good fan comic? If its real, any news on when American might get it?

I just hope that Funimation gets their hands on BOTh of these, and soon.

Oh yes. it's a real deal. But it was a one shot chapter. Surprised that Viz didn't translate it and include it in the US version of Jump magazine.
