"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

They want to focus on the next movie and then bring back the anime with the manga as a base, toyotaro years ago said he would eventually get ahead of the anime and that while at the time he was getting more ideas from them, it would eventually flip. Whether you like that or not is up to you but thats what seems to be the case

Yeah, that happened with the U6 arc. and a bit of the ToP.

Wouldn't that take years and years to do? The manga only gets 12 chapters a year and we still have a long way to go with the current one.

On a related note: Is there any chance Toyo could go weekly or bi weekly? This awful wait time just kills any sort of excitement I have.

Yep i don't get how people believe this is possible. Just look at Boruto, 140 episodes and they'll just start to adapt the manga in the next few weeks.

I don't think TOEI are going to present us the next movie first and thereafter an animated version of the events between Broly and that next movie, which are already known by then. Not even in an adapted format. There is no more real news value for TOEI to strive for in that case. If they had planned to bring back the anime, i think we'd known it by now. They should have fixed the production issues a long time ago if that were the real reason of the hiatus. It's only a matter of acceptance really.

I'm just interested to know what is happening with Kitaro's replacement, as Toei have produced for that slot for the past 20 years.
Assuming Kitaro isn't being extended again, as they have yet to announce another set.

I don't think Super is coming back, not any time soon anyhow.
No staff is kind of a stumbling block... anyhow I've no idea as to what Horikawa was talking about, mentioning having to wait for an official announcement after singing a song at an event?. I just can't get hyped for a movie, it's not the same as a weekly show.

Regarding what Horikawa said at that singing event, where did we get that info from? Wasn't it kind of hearsay (eg "someone on Twitter said [...]" and has it ever been corroborated by anyone else present at the event? Same with the thing about Akio Iyoku briefly mentioning the new movie at Jump Festa (I believe that was from SaikyoDevin's account). Please correct me if I'm wrong though!

I just feel as if there's been so much "someone who was there said [...]" which is then never clarified by anyone else. I'm fairly new to the community so I'm not sure who's reliable/ who's not that reliable, so it may just be a case of me being too cynical haha.

I totally agree though, a new movie is great but a weekly anime just has so much of a different feel. But if they don't have the staff/ it isn't in production, that's how it is. I'm happy to wait.

Some twitter/youtuber named Freeza-sama said something about that. She actually does live in Japan and took a selfie with Ryo. The contents of what happened belong to a currently deleted twitter account.

I didn't see anything about that.

Ah, yes I've heard of her! Thank you for the information.

[IntangibleFancy]

No, thank you for reminding me about that. If she isn't lying then that means we'll at least get something later this year. It's either the song or the song and a movie trailer to go along with it.

If I recall correctly it was a song about Vegeta, right? I'm so curious to hear that

I mean, they just need a good team of animators & a good production schedule. Super was decidedly mixed on the animation because they rushed it to screen & had mostly newbies animating it, as well as inconsistent writing quality.

Few newbies animated on Dragon Ball Super. Hayashida was lying out of his ass.

Iirc, the last two Digimon shows aired on TV Asahi and TV Tokyo respectively, so I guess it's possible this doesn't necessarily go straight to Fuji TV, but I think it's likely, as the timeline for a trailer (US movie screens 25th March) coincides nicely with the new Season starting the following weekend in Japan.

Super is pretty much the only show not to return this year. Let's hope for 2021. There is still a chance this could be the English App Mon dub, as if not, Toei Japan will be livid.

It is strange that this series is going to air on FujiTV having previously aired on Asashi TV and TV Tokyo. However, it is the series that most possibilities have to be broadcast on FujiTV in April.
What is clear with this new production is that now the return of the series is impossible. One Piece, World Trigger, Digimon, Dragon Quest, (series Precure?)
If there was some staff available to do Super, with the Digimon series all doubts have been cleared.

The most curious of all is that Toei would make more money with the distribution of a new Dragon Ball TV series than with all other series together.

And this is not a year thing. With these new series we can say goodbye to Super's return to TV in at least 2 years. Therefore the premiere of another movie is closer than that of a new series. Although adapting the saga of Moro in a movie would not make sense because it has too much content. Although, as Toyotaro confirms, Moro's saga goes after Broly.

None of this makes sense. It seems that Toei wants to not take advantage of the good moment of the franchise and let it fall in popularity and earn less money.

It has no logic all this.

[MeMeDZEHH]

So uhh ... Digimon for only 24 episodes ?? seems weird

[SSJgogeto]

24 episodes?

[MeMeDZEHH]

24 episodes?

If Both Digimon and Dragon Quest are on Fuji TV, it means Digimon taking the slot from april to september, so 24 episodes more or less.

Has this interview been translated yet?
https://www.itmedia.co.jp/business/arti ... ws020.html (it has 7 parts)

It says some interesting things about the birth of DBS. At least this is what I am getting from Google translate.

Spoiler:

ド ラ ゴ ン Dragon Ball now has no TV animation, so it's difficult to sell products. "So how about such an idea?" Brought Furuzawa. The anime of "Dragon Ball" always seemed to catch up with the series, so in the original, the contents of several pages were forcibly stretched, and in that sense the tempo was bad. "So why don't you cut all the stretched parts of the original and make it the original animation? ど う How about remastering and streaming it on TV?" If I told the story to Toei Animation's producer Kozo Morishita (current chairman), "It's interesting." This leads to "Dragon Ball Kai" [*].
phot
* "Dragon Ball Kai": As mentioned in the text, the previously broadcast "Dragon Ball Z" animation was re-edited and reorganized to 16: 9 high definition size and broadcast. After being broadcast from April 2009 to March 2011, the second season was broadcast from April 2014 to June 2015 (from the website of Toei Animation)

As a result, the children were able to watch "Dragon Ball" animation again. After a while, the well-designed Dragon Ball card game came under the group's strategy, and the cards were sold once more. That was how it happened.
Unosawa: On the other hand, Mr. Torishima said, "I'm really going to play Dragon Ball again." That's because the animation of "ONE PIECE" has been a bit drip after 10 years. To be honest, the game was somehow out of inertia. Then Torishima-san said, "The animation of" ONE PIECE "is the 10th anniversary, so Unosawa can also make games with seriousness. Instead, both the original and the anime will be re-wound." That's why the movie "ONE PIECE FILM STRONG WORLD", which was written by Mr. Eiichiro Oda (the original creator), worked on the original work, and it got excited at once.

"ONE PIECE FILM STRONG WORLD" (from Toei Video website)

と Similarly, Dragon Ball was just about to be managed. "Dragon Ball" has no animation, so I want to do something. But even if you play old anime, the screen is 4: 3. In a way, it was a bit brutal way of converting it to the size of high definition and cutting out all the bad places in the original that were not in the original, but that was one of the triggers of the revival of "Dragon Ball" is. After that, Mr. Torishima made a new theater animation by talking with Mr. Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation.

In fact, last year (18 years), the sales of “Dragon Ball” were the largest among the group of Namco Bandai. About 120 billion yen. There are more than "Mobile Suit Gundam". That's because, as I said, Mr. Torishima himself took responsibility. Because at that time, Mr. Torishima was the managing director of Shueisha. The managing director will check everything from individual planning to figure design. I guess why I supervise it, but because Mr. Torishima himself has absolute authority, it would have been easy to move around.

Torishima: Pia ... The new anime of Dragon Ball wasn't really meant to be made. Mr. Morishita of Toei Animation I mentioned earlier. He is currently the chairman of Toei Anime, and I am grateful that this person has been very helpful in rebuilding the Dragon Ball animation.

森 Mr. Morishita was hospitalized because of illness. To be honest, I didn't expect to leave the hospital and come back (laughs). The morning before the hospitalization, Mr. Morishita of Yoreyore came to me and asked, "Mr. Torishima, if I leave the hospital, could you agree to make a new Dragon Ball?" I didn't think I would come back, so I said "Okay" (laughs). This is unavoidable as it has returned with a miracle resurrection.

I found the twitter post talking about Ryo's Vegeta song but it's still deleted.
