The August issue of Shueisha 's V Jump magazine is announcing new details about the upcoming Dragon Ball Super television anime series on Saturday.

Dragon Ball Super 's story will take place shortly after the decisive battle with Majin Buu, and will contain plot elements that tie it to the recent Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' film. The characters Beerus and Whis will return from the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' films as regular characters in the series.

The magazine also contains a preview of the first episode's story:

After defeating Majin Buu, life is peaceful once again. Ordered by Chi-chi to earn money, Goku works even as he wants to train even more. Meanwhile, Goten, about to become a brother-in-law to Videl, sets out on a journey with Trunks to find her a present.

The show's official website unveiled the main visual for the series on Monday, which features Beerus and Whis, as well as two new yet-unnamed characters who resemble them.

Additionally Jouji Yanami will return as the narrator.

Toei Animation also aired a commercial for the new show on Sunday.

Dragon Ball Super will premiere on July 5 on Fuji TV and other channels, and it will run on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT , which aired from 1996 to 1997. The story of the anime is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again.
