    This has honestly been a long time coming, they have put out and continue to put out incredible work, and they picked a great point to go out on. I look forward to see what they are working on next.

      Seeing as some of their members have already done more and more voice acting, both more commercial and more independent, I don't doubt they have the network and the skills to keep working. DBZA...

      DBZA kind of was becoming a relic at this point. It really is time for it to be shelved and for people to move on and make new things.

    This news reminded me of the talk about when Akira Toriyama intended the series to end, with many people theorizing Frieza was intended to be the final arc. This guy expands on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj_iIpQxBl8 (in short: he believed Toriyama didn't plan ahead and didn't know when it was going to end).

    DBZA is probably my most re-watched animated series... I love how it sticks to the characters and story, but adds a more realistic humor to it all. It's great to just sit back and binge it time and time again, which is more than I can say for many other anime...

    It's one of those "If I won the lottery I'd pay the creators a wage to keep doing what they've been doing so I can keep enjoying their content".

      No, if anything it's the inverse: a new show made of old animation. DBZA was something of a seminal show, there's been a lot of other work inspired by its format. What Team Four Star did was they took episodes of Dragonball Z, and then re-edited the episodes with all new dialogue, reinterpretations of the characters and plot, and then combined it with elements of other works (e.g. using a character head gag from Birdman Attorney at Law). The result is a different show with a familiar plot but a completely different story.
