Seeing as this will be original to animation instead of adapting something, they can go at whatever pace they need.
The movies have already made GT non-cannon so don't worry. This will most definitely end up better because the original creator is actually involved this time.
I guess you're just basing this off of screens since you sound like you haven't even seen BotG. He completely opened up the DB universe with talks of dimensions and even possibly more saiyans out there. It's pretty exciting to me and other fans. He said himself he's going to take focus away from transformations, the SS SSG thing was just a gimmick for the movie. Progress has been made and Akira Toriyama has done plenty of things and has grown as an artist as well so I think it's safe to say the new series will thrive as long as he's inspired. You say "we can't keep going back to DB again and again" but the last series was 18 years ago, dude.
GT is definitely out of the picture now. And this is basically the original author creating the anime straight on instead of drawing a manga first and having it adapted by a studio.
Where have you been the last few years. DB hype is stronger than ever. It started with Kai a few years ago, so the exposure to newer generations is definitely there. They're still airing Kai and are actually on the final arc so this is good timing. As we saw with Battle of the Gods, Toriyama has found a way to recapture the heart of Dragon Ball and still have the serious action elements of Z. BotG was a spectacular return to form that seemed like a warm up for something greater. His legacy won't be tarnished any time soon. Have you seen the box office numbers for Revival of F? |

I just find it funny how everything in GT has been rendered as an alternate continuity at best. DB Online wrote a completely different scenario for Post-Buu with Gohan writing a study about the art of Ki manipulation, the recent movies have shown blatant disregard to GT possibly being canon at all, Xenoverse has mentioned as a split timeline, and now this.
In fact, it seems like Toriyama is bringing more elements of the deceased DB Online into the mix more and more, so I wonder if elements of that will make it into Super Dragon Ball. |

I know it says after buu but how many years after buu? wil it start where Z ended with Goku traing Uub or wil it start after Resurrection F?
I NEED TO KNOW!!!!! the only other thing I think it could be is a mini series set after Resurrection F but before Goku went to train Uub but for me I hope it's after Z ended, I liked GT but these new movies have made GT mute point still it would be nice if they would keep SSJ4 in this new series, SSJ4 is cool |

Look. IF Toriyama genuinely manages to bring something new and exciting to the table with this series that allows it to stand on its own without being propped up by the original series, then of course I'll gladly welcome it. But the series is teasing a new foe stronger than Buu and Frieza so the problem of Power Creep in the series will be showing its ugly face again. There's been different dimensions since the Buu Arc so that's hardly new. The prospect of more saiyans isnt really exciting (its actually rather annoying if more and more keep popping out).Toriyama may have become a better artist but that only affects character designs as this isnt a manga. The thing that I'll be looking out for is how Toriyama has grown as a storyteller and how much he has grown since setting the standard for shonen manga fights. |

Mixed feelings here. On one hand, this is exactly what I wanted whether it was me as a child back or now after seeing the wastes of potential that Kai and the most of the material after it (not seen the Frieza movie yet - not expecting good writing or power balance).
On the other, Dragon Ball hit a chord with me mostly within the 16 volumes and the addition of more contrived forms, bosses and interactions is only serving to make the experience more convoluted. Some of the games (Dragon Ball Origins, Ultimate Butoden, Legacy of Goku 2 to name a few) were actually doing a great job at carrying on the legacy and to be frank, I don't think Toei even if there is "Toriyama supervision" (Whether it is "Original Creator: Akira Toriyama" or more) can step it up especially with some of their recent animated projects. We haven't heard about how long they intend this last, but I hope for a short and sweet addition to the series even if they are implying that there will be a new big bad and perhaps a slow arc dedicated to training to beat this new foe. I hope the main voice cast members are healthy and available enough to live through the project, this isn't the 80s and 90s after all and we did lose some voices even back then (Roshi is on his fourth voice actor - mostly due to recasting but he also lost his first one before DBZ ended). |

I pray that the eldest cast members stay healthy. If the new series ends up being on the same level as Battle of the Gods (haven't seen F yet), then I'm going to be pleased.

I guess by new means a series not based off of the manga since DB Kai 2014 is rather new but manga based.

The power creep can be avoided with clever writing, as proved by the movies. I wasn't just talking about his art, he also wrote as well as drew many manga since DB ended. Jaco the Galactic Patrol Man and Sand Land in particular stand out as great manga in their own right. He's definitely grown as a storyteller. You're acting as if the movies didn't happen, which clearly prove he's still got it. |
