Because Baccano might sell good, but this shit is guaranteed to sell. Its fucking Dragonball, just that name on anything gets shit sold....its that simple.

Why will they make a third Code Geass season instead of a fifth Initial D season?

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.

@ Tenchi_Ryu True, but it NEVER happened. Bardock died by my favorite anime villain's hands. I don't want to sound old-fashioned, but I'm with everyone who sees this as another cash cow. Damn, now I feel like watching DB/Z all over again lol. XD

But even Dragon Ball fans hated GT, and the franchise has been next to forgotten over the last couple years.

I doubt it "works" anymore.

Yeah, but there is apparently a lot of Baccano! material not yet animated.

WHY!?!?!

DB/Z are my fav' anime's ever!
The manga is my fav' manga ever!
It's the reason I like anime and manga - years later, it's still of great quality.

It's rare that an anime production company and glorified fanfic' authors create something of great quality.
I have read this manga - it's not much different from any other 'shounen' filler - which I'm now convinced are all made by the same people. I better add, from a young age, I was never a massive fan of the Dragonball/Z movies (some are great) or the Garlic Jr saga - this was long before I even knew they weren't the authors material - I'm open to fillers being great, but many have dissapointed me.

Still, I understand why this is being done...
This series, 16 years after ending, still sells well - it's a certian cash injection, so I hope people enjoy it.
