No, there's going to be both an animated movie AND a DB: EVOLUTION sequel.

That article came out in 2009, and it's now 2012. I see no further developments Don, I doubt we'll ever see a direct sequel to the abomination that was Evolution.

Ohhh thank Christ almighty!

As a child of the 90s I adore Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z although I've recently come to love One Piece too. for some strange strange reason Luffy's fighting style reminds me of Spidey as well

I really enjoyed "death note". I caught the first few manage from a friend and it took off from there. Then saw the tv series and ordered the live a tion movies after that. The movies are extremely well done and are highly recommended.
Also am a huge "one piece" fan. We have Anime North here in Toronto and I'm always cycling through one piece characters with my fiancé. She's one good looking Luffy I must say lol also does a mean Boa

[Big Al]

Wall Crawler? Have you seen mostly subbed or dubbed episodes of OP? Have you seen the recent Fishman Island stuff?

[Wall_Crawler]

BigAl!
I've seen the entire series! The English dub ends early in the series so I just watch with subtitles. I'll grab a link for you when I'm on my computer. When luffy learns hakai, shit gets real lol

[Big Al]

Wall_Crawler I've seen the series myself.

I started witht he subs because I knew the dub only goes so far (plus the specials and movies aren't dubbed)

What was your fav arc and movie?

Mine was Strong World and probably thew Water 7 arc combined witht he eneis lobby arc. I simply cannot choose? Also Zoro is awesome

[Wall_Crawler]

Water 7 was bananas!!!! Fish man island will always have a special place in my heart though lol
Zoro is the king of badass but Luffy will always be my #1 with Frankie in a close second. I'm a sucker for fire power lol

Was randomly looking up One Piece today, didn't know it's been going since 1997. That's pretty cool, I may get into it sometime.

Was randomly looking up One Piece today

Isn't there a government registry for people who do that?

Sorry.

Hey Donovan if your a Dragon Ball fan I think you'll like One Piece. Oda, the creator, is basically a massive Toriyama fanboy, he considers Dragon ball as a major influence for One Piece and there are lots of parallells between the two shows (Im a massive DB fan too). If you want I can give you watching list of what to watch first with One Piece

[Wall_Crawler]

One piece would be a great series to get into for a dragon ball fan boy. The fights are pretty epic especially later in the more recent episodes when Luffy destroys the PX5 with one punch. Hakai FTW!

[Big Al]

To me Haki is sorta OP's version of ki or chakra or Bankai. Every shonen anime gets to that eventually. My fav fight just bcos he is such a badass was the Luffy vs Crocodile battles. there are bigger fights later on but Crocodile is just such a pimp

I read a lot of statements citing that the creators of Naruto and One Piece were heavily inspired by Dragon Ball and Toriyama's style in general. I should probably get into those series because of that, but I'm very very lazy on those types of things...

I mean I like the visual style of One Piece, and it looks fun. I think after DBGT ended in America, that was the last of my general interest in shonen franchises, but that was when I was in high school. Plus, I still very much read Hajime No Ippo. I might give One Piece and Naruto a shot...

[Wall_Crawler]

I say go for it, I don't think you'd be disappointed
Also, if you get your hands on Death Note and some Escaflowne I think it'll pleasantly surprise you. I mis the old Escaflowne cartoons

[Donomark]

Oh I've read Death Note! That currently is the manga to beat for the most gripping, intelligent series I've ever read.
