New Dragon Ball Z Episodes Coming?

Friday, May 10th, 2013

A Spanish/Japanese publication known as MangAnime has released what they say is a confirmation of new Dragon Ball Z episodes due to the success of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.

Update: Confirmed fake. As expected this was nothing but speculation. The magazine that reported this is actually created by fans which originated from South America. That’s not to say there won’t be new Dragon Ball episodes in the future, we even have Dragon Ball Kai (Buu Saga) to look forward to.

Note that this is not 100% confirmed and is currently just a rumor. Thoughts?

We have been covering this fan project just as we did with Dragon Ball Z : Saiyan Saga. I advise everyone to follow them via their official website for all the latest updates.

This photo is #3 out of 7 that we will be releasing. We appreciate all the support and feedback that you all have given so far and we look forward to continuing our journey as we lead up to the announcement of our live-action project. We will be announcing our plans on the 7th photo. We cannot tell you too much at this time but we’d like to clear up a few things. Many of you have been asking if we are doing a trailer or trailer series and the answer is no. Our live action project will be an actual project – not a teaser or series.
Additionally – the 7 photos released are not related to the story line that we will be doing for our live-action project. More details will be released soon on that. Until then – we hope you’ve enjoyed the photos thus far and we appreciate all your support.
