Yeah, it came out of a nowhere and I remember reading it when it was fairly new, like two years... 20 years now! 23 from release to be exact.
After Dragon Ball, Z and GT ended with the manga complete, I was desperate for all Toriyama stuff as I love his artstyle alone and this was the next thing on my list with Neko Majin (I already knew Dr. Slump from TV, as it ran alongside original DB back then in anime TV slot on RTL7)
I am incredibly happy about this and it gives me a glimmer of hope, that Jaco and other works might get adapted as well some day!
I will honestly prefer Dragon Ball to get this kind of legacy, higher production treatment after Super.
Preferably movies because even the OVAs are not something to be blown away by from TOEI.
But I do like all the Dragon Ball movies since 2010s, as they are great to look at, the writing is good and it's well thought off
and as I rewatched Super Hero recently, it reminded me how much fun the movie was.
In comparison to cheaply and hastily produced TV series with plotholes and lackluster writing that's not even that nice to look at.
From the trailers and everything so far, I guess that this would be the most faithful adaptation of Toriyama's art and story to date!
Can't wait to see the complete movie, I will probably reread the manga in the meantime to check the differences afterwards
