More Dragon Ball anime? Awesome!

Said anime will be an adaptation of "Episode of Bardock"? In that case... not that awesome. That manga was pretty disappointing IMO

According to ANN, the special will be aired at the Jump Festa in Deccember:http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-11-21/dragon-ball-episode-of-bardock-spinoff-manga-gets-anime

Hmm, that means it might be about as long as the Yo! Goku and Friends Return ONA.

I want a remake of the original series! The first 153 eps.
Bardock should remain a bit of a mystery.

I wouldn't really mind another DBZ anime, but then again with ALL other animes they'd made money off of......I'm starting to think they should really stop.....Toei has milked DBZ to death already lol

Me too. They should have just remade all of Dragon Ball with a little better pacing, all into one animu, instead of what they did with Kai.


Bardock should remain a bit of a mystery.

Too late for this. The manga is already out...

First Kai and now this,this isn't beating a dead dog with a stick it's shooting it then putting it on strings to make it dance


Dragon Ball and Z with great ,GT the less said about that the better and even Kai was okay.But Dragon Ball is done it's time to let it go and stopping milking it cause it dried up a long time ago

"a spin-off scenario taking place after the events of the TV special Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku, in which Bardock survives after his confrontation against Frieza and turns into a Super Saiyan"

What?

While I love Dragon Ball this just sounds a bit...

I agree. Hell, the Shounen Jump big 3 would NOT exist if not DB/Z (and Yu Yu Hakusho). Still, the synopsis made me go "WTF?"

That does sound like a bad fanfiction as mentioned. As a diehard DB/Z fan, Bardock is awesome, bad ass, and died in an unquestionably epic manner. This "new idea" just ruins it. I mean, trying to change what happened originally about 2 decades ago is just weird. I'd like to see Akira Toriyama's thoughts on this. :(
Bardock doesn't even have enough training to be a Super Saiyan like his kick ass son and grandson (referring to Gohan).

It's like that Fushigi Yuugi Eikoden. :( :(

Anyway, this proves that success is NOT always a good outcome. People and ideas alike can become victims of it.

To be fair though, it is possible that Bardock would have become one if he continued to do what he was doing. He was progressing pretty god damn fast compared to the usual saiyan....by the time he died, he was already pass a power level of 10,000 I believe, which pretty much put him in Vegeta and Nappa's league during the saiyan arc. So if he didn't die, I could see him eventually getting it.
