Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
Seems like Toei is putting their shit together.
Now if they had this planned since the beginning, or its because what the Big Daddy said, we can only speculate.
But at this rate, seems like they did sacrifce some ROF episodes (Goku vs Freeza) to pull it off.
Now, I just hope the reason why BD3 was delayed one month, is to to make sure everything looks great for japanese fellows and international market.
2016 looks brighter than 2015 ever was for Super. Turn that new leaf!

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
If King Ryu is able to deliver the quality writing most of his time on the Champa arc, then I have no doubt Toei is going to ask him to stay for a while longer for the next new arc.
Now only if Yamamuro was asked to step down as the character designer...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
So, only animes that don't follow the manga need to have a series composer? Did GT had one too?When Dragon Ball Super debuted in July 2015 it did not have a series composer, as is common with most TV series adaptations. While the series composer is typically responsible for determining and establishing the overall plot of the series, it appears, as King Ryū mentions, that the first two story arcs were merely based on the movies and therefore there was no need for a series composer.

As Jacob said, he's a script writer. He wrote episodes #2, #6, #11, #12, #13, #14, #21, #28 and #29.emperior wrote:What episodes of Super did King Ryu direct so far?

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
I would think Aya Matsui was the series composer for Dragon Ball GT. Koyoma took over after Matsui left around Episode 40. His son unfortunately wrote some episodes for Super.FortuneSSJ wrote:So, only animes that don't follow the manga need to have a series composer?

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
Koyama is not credited with GT.
Even series based comics get series kousei. Naruto has had three. One Piece is on its second. Some series do without them, especially if the series director is personally doing scripts, like Sword Art Online.

Wow! That is promising! Those were litterally the best episodes! (Including ep 27 which was "unfortunately" not under his credit)Doctor. wrote:As Jacob said, he's a script writer.

So since the first 2 arcs are merely based on the movies..
That means he's the one responsible for coming up with a Vegeta Vacation, Vegeta chefcook and episode 11's awesomeness AND THE UNIVERSAL SHOCKWAVES! That's so awesome to know!

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
So does this mean that from now on litterally every episode in the Champa Arc will be written by himself?
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
Great news! This arc just got much more promising.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
Not necessarily, there could be few episodes with other writers. However he is in charge of the scripts now, so even those episodes might have his influence.GodVegetto91 wrote:So does this mean that from now on litterally every episode in the Champa Arc will be written by himself?
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
After checking what episodes King Ryuu wrote i think they are above the level Super usually shows, so i like the idea of him being the main script-writer of the new arc. I enjoyed the Goku vs. Beerus fight a lot in Super but the fight against Freeza was utter crap, i could only save the Vegeta scene where he destroys Freeza (and i think its a really cool scene).
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
I think it's safe to assume Ryu will handle pretty much every episode in this arc (30 wasn't him, but then again, it was a recap).
I wonder if they used the first two arcs to select who would work better in the role of series composition? Anyway, it's good to know that Fukushima Yukinori (who wrote 30) is still working in the show too, as he wrote some of the best episodes (16-18, 27). Yoshitaka Toshio and especially Koyama Makoto are disposable. A good part of Goku vs Freeza's mediocrity could be blamed on them...ok, Goku's defeat was much better than in the movie, but that was it.
In any case, as Jacob said, Koyama never worked in GT. Most episodes after that were written by Maekawa Atsushi, including the last five - which is a good sign he took over as the head writer.

The last GT episode written by Matsui was 22, but apparently no one was credited for the role after she left. I wonder what led to her leaving the show?DragonBalllKaiHD wrote:I would think Aya Matsui was the series composer for Dragon Ball GT. Koyoma took over after Matsui left around Episode 40.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
I'm hopeful that this will be a good month for Dragon Ball Super. They seem to be slowly getting back on track. I hope Toma becomes something of a regular, I'm excited for his episode. I think it was a good decision to let Ryu handle the writing for this arc.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
No, not necessarily. It is just common practice for an animated TV series to have a series composer, just like it has a series director. While there are individual scriptwriters and directors for each episode, they are overseen by the main series staff. Generally the series composer will establish the overall story line of a TV series, or a specific story arc, and then divides it up among the various scriptwriters to write the actual dialogue for each episode. The series composer is often a scriptwriter as well, and can essentially be thought of as the head scriptwriter. There are cases, like what JulieYBM cited, where the series plot is determined solely by producers and therefore there is no series composer. It seems that in the case of Dragon Ball Super, the planners and producers basically took the plot of the movies and broke it up into individual episodes themselves. Honestly, we may never know exactly who determined what in the first two story arcs. However, the production staff seem to feel that using a series composer for this new story arc is the best way to unify its story.FortuneSSJ wrote:So, only animes that don't follow the manga need to have a series composer?

On a side note, Super not having a series composer was one of the first things I noticed when it premiered (because I'm crazy like that), especially since every Dragon Ball series has had a series composer, even Kai. Although, on another side note, now that I mention that I should clarify that the original Dragon Ball series didn't have a credited series composer until much later in the series as well. However, in that case we know Takao Koyama was the series composer for the entire series, but was merely not credited for nearly 2.5 years into the series.
Takao Koyama left the series at the end of Dragon Ball Z and was never involved with GT. Also, Aya Matsui stopped being credited in GT as the series composer after episode 50.DragonBalllKaiHD wrote:I would think Aya Matsui was the series composer for Dragon Ball GT.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion
Did not Matsui leave because she was on maternity leave? Also? I did not know she stopped being credited after #50. You have to fix the production guide, Heath. :p
I am thinking Chioka and Kido handled series composition. As lead creative Chioka would have to be involved in having his ideas adapted into scripts. Having King Ryuu as a department head just makes the legwork easier.
...I wonder how much his hiring was due to his name having 'dragon' in it? :p
