Dragon Ball Super's new logo, end credits teased

Return of the (Monkey) King

Amidst all the manufactured outrage, celebrity meltdowns and selfies, Twitter does occasionally turns up something worthwhile. Such was this case this past weekend, when the account for Dragon Ball Super posted a preview of the new TV show's end credits. It's not much, admittedly, but any reminder that brand-spanking new Dragon Ball is right round the corner is cause enough for celebration.

For those of you who have been too busy raising your power levels or taking part in martial arts tournaments to pay attention to the news, Dragon Ball Super is the much anticipated sequel to Dragon Ball Z, one of, if not the most popular anime series of all-time. The new chapter in the storied fighting series will be overseen original creator Akira Toriyama.

A bit like the new, Blomkamp-led Alien sequel, Goku's return to television will discard large parts of the animated series' continuity, snubbing the entirety of Dragon Ball GT. As anyone's who's had the misfortune of seeing Dragon Ball GT can tell you, this is a very good thing.

If that little titbit wasn't juicy enough, during the broadcast of the Dragon Ball Kai's latest episode in Japan, viewers were treated to the sight of the new Dragon Ball Super logo. No word yet on whether or not this will be actual logo used in the final show, but for now it's a nifty looking place-holder.

In the meantime, North American fans fiending for a Dragon Ball fix can catch the English-language version of Resurrection 'F' in cinemas this summer.
