New Dragon Ball animated series

Almost 20 years after the disaster that was Dragon Ball GT, Goku and friends return to TV once more. The series titled Dragon Ball Super will take place after the battle with Buu. Luckily, Akira Toriyama (the series creator) will be involved in the project. I hope this series has more humor (like the original Dragon Ball) and sense of adventure than 3 episodes of characters powering up. Since it looks like Dragon Ball Super is not based on a comic book, there will be no need to stretch the fights in order to keep more or less in pace with the manga; and Toriyama is a comedic master (check the 3 Manga Theater volumes if you don't believe me).
Let's hope Mr. Satan returns!

Viz Media titles are available at comiXology



Viz Media, one of the few manga publishers left in the US has released close to 500 volumes of popular manga series (such as Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya and Death Note) for the popular digital format distributor comiXology. Awesome news and I hope the digital format opens the doors in the west to lesser known titles. You can purchase via the website or the app.

Oh, and comiXology (or Amazon), please fix the payment method for Android and iOS or release some kind of gift card for those of us who don't like to use credit cards.
