Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


I also just don't want to sit through two cours dedicated to the Moro arc where it's nothing but meaningless fighting because the series isn't allowed to be well-written, it's only allowed to follow Toriyama's outline. I don't need to see Gohan, Piccolo and the other Earthlings all fighting Moro ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Toyotaro was always the one actually fleshing out the details based off of Toriyama's bare-bones outlines. The manga as we got it has always been mostly him, with just occasional corrections from Toriyama. Which is not to say that I think Toriyama's absence won't be felt at all if the series comes ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


Considering it being animated in 3D, having 4 prequel chapters, as well as an epilogue chapter, I full expect it to get remade from the ground up in the same style as Moro and Granola.

I would very much like for them to reanimate Super Hero for this, yeah. It's specifically Broly that strikes me ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

You know, assuming that "making one single more approachable version of the story that's more stylistically consistent and high-quality" were indeed the goal here (which, I think that's more of a happy side-effect if anything) then... Broly needs not be touched. It already looks phenomenal, Shintani ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


Depending on how long they have decided the Moro arc to last, given that the manga arc is one of the longest, it will probably be a while before we see the Goku Black arc.

Considering how much of the arc is just prolonged fighting scenes (as is fairly typical for modern DB, let's be fair) I ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

Funny thing is, I remember episode 14 being really good? Though I guess it did indeed have some pretty off-model art. Just, it worked out because the actual movement was strong. But I distinctly recall that, after being really negative on the arc as a whole, I thought the finale was great.

What does streamline mean? Better pacing ( bye bye Pilaf Gang filler, BOG went from 10+ episodes to 6)

I would be actually shocked if the Pilaf gang aren't in this, considering that their very existence at all in Battle of Gods was a Toriyama idea and I strongly suspect he's also the main reason ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

I think it's fair to assume that this "remaster" is not really for any of us. It's just to give a less crude-looking version of the show that might be more appealing to new viewers.

...I'll be content if it just flows decently tbh. And if it fixes the most egregiously awful shots from OG Super ...

Re: Concerns about New Super


I am somewhat ashamed to admit this, but its mainly due to Daima introducing a 'canon' SSJ4. I'm sick of the debate over which is stronger SSJB or SSJ4. But I'm worried the new Super will include the 'canon' SSJ4 and reignite the debate and add 'canon' to SSJB being stronger, something I don't ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol" (20??) Discussion Thread

Daima to me was like... The adult character designs looked good, if perhaps a bit more detailed than I would have liked. But I did not care for the child designs. The heads were too big, too round, and all their limbs looked like noodles. Which, yeah, is in line with the art style Toriyama wound up ...

SoKai, unfortunately, while benefited from the better pacing of cutting out the majority of the filler, as well as the color correction & clean-up of the footage, also had less graceful redraws due to bad & probably rushed rotoscoping (talking about the first 98 episodes) to replace certain ...

Let's not modify anything about the Goku Black arc ending.
There's a clear point to it, a message:

"Don't ever call Zeno to solve your problems or he will wipe out your whole dimension.

Re: Where will the franchise go after Super?


I've heard on here a few times that Toyotaro and Toriyama's working relationship with the manga-only arcs was that Toyotaro did almost all the designs/writing/drawing, pretty much all of it, but he ran his ideas through Toriyama to make sure he was still maintaining the spirit of Dragon Ball. So ...

Re: Where will the franchise go after Super?

I was saying before the Super pseudo-remake was confirmed that a readaptation of the original manga makes a lot more sense than redoing Super... I still think that when they run out of material for Super, a reboot seems like an obvious thing they would try. It... would likely not be the most ...

Re: DBZ's Japanese Audio on Blu-Ray


This has nothing to do with "mono" or "stereo". Only GT and the last two movies were even mastered in stereo. All of original DB and Z have only ever been mono. All that means is it just has one single audio channel, so no directionality. It has no impact whatsoever on the clarity of the sound ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread


I personally don't think they would've announced an adaption of Moro unless they were sure the manga was given the OK to continue, so I think it's only a matter of time before it's made public.


I agree, but then at the same time, it's not unthinkable that the anime just covers Moro and Granolah ...

I would like less Pilaf Gang because they were killing the pace of episodes and story.

Or, you ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

We know of two changes from Toriyama's initial concept to the Future Trunks arc that happened in both the manga and the anime: Vegetto appearing, and Merged Zamasu being a near-unstoppable force of nature. According to that interview in volume 4, Toriyama's idea for Merged Zamasu was that he'd still ...
