I don't see how it's milking if it's coming out 18 years after its last iteration. In fact, wouldn't a fairer statement be that this is happening with Naruto and that it shouldn't happen to Dragon Ball Z, especially when you consider that Naruto has consistently been running for much longer (1997-2015 and ongoing)?
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this was probably suggested by Akira Toriyama, himself, earnestly wanting to continue the story. The reason he stopped, after all, was because he'd spent so much time and so many years on Dragon Ball (and other series) that he needed time to spend with his family. Him proposing such an idea isn't too outlandish, and because it's an anime original series, it's likely SJ has nothing to do with its creation. Toei, either, I'd imagine- they have questionable quality, but they aren't the type to force out new content like this.
GT to me, and to many of the fanbase felt like this anime didnt do the series any justice, Akira only did the design.
Dragon Ball Kai was barely re-did it just cut the filler part out, and re-did the script to fit the manga more, and they remastered and recolored it.
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods was THE first movie in 17 years in the DB Series to release, and its Canon to the manga series. This made a lot of fans in hopes of a new series. Now that Resurrection F is coming out, all this hype of DB fans all over the world is excited to see. Now that a new Arc (Series) of the anime is being continued after Buu Saga since everyone been wanting to know what Akira would have wrote if Toei didnt milk the fudge out of Dragonball with the horrific GT series, we get to see where he would have written, and where the characters would be.
The only thing DB really milked was the Video games. Also the Manga the noncanon ones (the DB Hero mangaka) which wasnt even drawn or written by Toriyama.
Toei only involvement with the new series is the animation, Toriyama is in charge of what they're gonna do and he has written the plot, and it will introduce newer fans, which makes me excited!
...Isn't there enough Dragon Ball already? u_u Do we really need a reminder that GT was thing? I won't watching this since Kai is enough, tbh.
Seriously? GT was not good at all, wasnt even written by the creator, it was Toei's way of milking after the HUGE success of Z. that was created in 1997. GT is a noncanon, all anime only thing, Toriyama considers it as a possible timeline (he doesnt consider GT as apart of his DB series).
As for Kai...Kai was just a Re-rendered, Remastered, Cut the filler out of Z (Nothing new about it except the Dialog).
Dragon Ball Super is gonna be a whole new arc, written by Toriyama himself, and it serves as a canon arc of what happens after the Buu Saga. So basically DB Super is knocking GT. also this new arc (Series) is gonna be new animation, not what "Kai" looks like.
As for the New movies, Been 17 years since a new Dragon Ball Z movie when Battle of Gods (As for this movie is canon to Toriyama's DB.) Resurrection F is also canon.
Plus I prefer Kai over Z. Kai is accurate with the script, cuts out the filler the voice acting is so much better (the Funimation English dub). I loved Z growing up I did like some of the filler, but I own the DVDs so I can watch it anytime if anyone pulls that "Nostalgic" excuse. I prefer it cause the manga. lol
As for the new series, im excited, I want to see where Toriyama is going in his DB story. :)
