The popular manga and television franchise "Dragon Ball" has been revived for its first anime series in 18 years.

Dragon Ball Super, will air in Japan this July.

This will be the first Dragon Ball series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired in the mid 90's.

Set in the aftermath of Goku's defeat of the evil Majin Buu, Dragon Ball Super tells the story of Goku trying to maintain the world's newfound, but fragile, peace.

Akira Toriyama is listed as not only the original creator, but as the man in charge of the storyline and character concepts for the new Super series.

Kimitoshi Chioka, from Toei Animation, is the series director.

Since it first appeared in 1984, the Dragon Ball series has become a cultural force and has gone on to spawn not only three animated series, but also video games and numerous films and TV specials.
