What I meant is that many people credit Toriyama as the screenwriter, as if he wrote the series entirely and the animators or Toyotarō only illustrated it. That's not the case.

Toriyama wrote the screenplays for all four films. But he wasn't the screenwriter for Toyotarō's 104-chapter manga, nor ...

Even if it doesn't really fit 100% with Z, it is the new black, just like Goku being stronger than Gohan is also the new black, when it was not the case before, but we go along with it anyway and try to see how it came to be. The "did Goku get way stronger or Gohan way weaker?" debate.
Well it ...

To be fair, Gohan and Gotenks are never acknowledged to be stronger than Goku in the Boo Saga either.
Well it did seem clear. Goku didn't think him and Vegeta would stand a chance against base Super Buu without fusion while Gotenks was close to fighting him one on one and Gohan was even stronger ...

Gohan being a SSJ in BoG is a nagging myth that needs to die. It was an animation error and never meant to be in the script - As I pointed out before, everyone was meant to be at their best for the movie.

His RoF power loss seems to be from the top down - He maintains most of his base power, but ...

I think Gotenks and Gohan were weaker by BoG. Gotenks only used SSJ1 and Gohan was originally drawn with blonde hair. They changed his hair color later but it seemed like the battle was written with him being only in SSJ1 since he lost faster than Good Buu and Vegeta. It doesn't make as much sense ...

Part of the appeal of redoing these old characters, stories, and iconography was to see Toriyama give his own spin on them. With him gone, the speculation over what thing they're gonna suggest for him to remix seems kinda pointless now, given that they kinda can't suggest anything to him anymore ...

Is it to give Asura time to draw? I understand drawing can be rough, especially at his quality, and he likely has several other projects, but we're talking about 2 (3?) pages a week. It's not a mangaka schedule.

Since last year it's been 4 pages a week and only because a few artists happened to ...

What counts as faithful is something you can question. We do not know exactly what the “Toriyama outlines” are. What we do know — something you pointed out yourself — is that they are only outlines, not a fully developed story. You can see that from the many differences between the manga and anime ...

There are a lot of scenes and episode that are not needed in DBS, they can easily be cut out without affecting the story. In the ToP they can greatly reduce the amount of time they show characters on the bench an example.


The Monaka episode that can get cut out without affecting anything. Bulma ...

According to the recent Super Gekitou trailer , Goku will fight Beerus as a Super Saiyan after SSG runs out of time, so it seems this plot point remains. And it makes sense that this is being kept, because Toriyama specifically outlined it as such in the Battle of Gods movie and reiterated it in ...

Yeah, a lack of time was definitely an issue. It's not really clear how the enhanced edition will work past the Beerus arc, but it's going to be increasingly difficult to not include the writing decisions of the previous series' staff unless a ton of things are cut and supplemented with new ...

Generally-speaking, longer-running anime have multiple writers with their own quirks and characters that they tend to focus on, so it's not necessary to have only one writer. The issue was definitely a lack of time to establish what the series was going to be. There was no credited series composer ...

Exactly. Unless we are admitting that a bunch of over 30 characters in those universes can compare to the gods, not to mention even Krillin himself, I don’t think Goku’s base form carried that power through all of Super continuity, at least not until his fight with Moro or Broly in Super Hero.
I ...

Some people seem to hope that the arcs will be shortened with the primary goal of improving and rewriting the story. Personally, I think the main objective is the remastering process itself. It’s simply more cost-efficient to remaster 6 episodes than 14, and that likely applies to the rest of Super ...

Does this refer to the start of production as well? Because I don't believe that just because Toriyama was involved means production started before his death. For them to still be in the Champa arc seems very strange to me, I believe production started at the beginning of 2025 at the earliest.
I ...

They said the remake was in development before Toriyama passed away. It might not be until 2028 or whenever the SH arc gets adapted that we get something new with no involvement from Toriyama. I still feel the revival has been winding down with less frequent releases since the anime ended. They ...

TL;DR: the writers had him retired, unable to access his true power, wanted to get him back into action -didn't have enough time- and chose to give him the same treatment the rest was getting: blond hair.
In-universe, had SS, tried to force himself into Ultimate, failed, and went back to SS.

Yeah ...

And in some ways, that tells me this remaster won't be to bring in new fans as much as I originally thought. If they don't plan to do the arcs consistently, then this project just screams "HEY, OG FANS! HERE'S THE ARCS REMADE TO PLEASE YOU AFTER HOW BAD THE ANIMATION WAS! Oh, and you can watch it ...

I think Future Trunks arc and ToP would be the easiest to remaster since the animation started improving by then. The fanmade UI cut brought them down to about half as many episodes just by removing filler/padding that didn't really move the story forward. It makes sense to also focus on Moro arc ...

In this case the guidebook was specifically for GT, I think the perfect files from '97

What were some concepts and such that unfortunately got shelved?

I was given quite a bit of freedom working on GT, so aside from whether they were animated or not, the ideas were limitless. For each character ...
