It sounds like he's not entirely sure what's coming next so I think it depends on Toriyama. We always hear "Dragonball will continue as long as it's making money!" but the same could be said about literally any successful franchise. A lot get milked past their prime but some end on a high note with a decent conclusion. I'm hoping Toriyama decides to have one finale movie :thumbup: .

The issue isn't with new content, it's that they're just doing the same thing they did in the past.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

They should raise the stakes. Have a war with the Gods or whoever. Kill of some background characters for good with a valiant death for a few beloved ones. Increase the tension. Get off this stupid 10 year gap.

But they won't. But that would be a great way to end Dragonball. A final war with a few major battles, strategizing, roles defined for members of the Z army, etc.

That would make an interesting movie or better yet an arc.

So they're in the "preparation stage" for another movie? That could mean anything from "Toriyama's writing the script right now and we're doing some storyboarding" to "Well, we want to make a movie and we're trying to come up with some ideas", and based on the wording in that translation I'm leaning towards it being closer to the latter. If that's really the stage they're at, well... I don't see it being a 2019 release. If this is the route they want to take, with movies every couple of years or so, they should at least have a seasonal anime along with it. Dragon Ball fans are hungry people.
Agreed. And I hope that's what it is.

As expensive as a movie like Broly can be a series costs a lot more and looking at the reports taking Super off the air and focusing on the movie didn't stop the merch sales at all.
DBS was at it's most successful off air, the movie rode that & had the benefit of box office receipts too even beyond BO takings folks had to pay up if they wanted the movie booklet (& other goods) too so the true success of Broly in Japan we'll probably never know! The home video is being released in most countries, China just had their release, the movie Ichiban Kuji is being re-released this week! Like damn this movie was successful in so many ways and all without a current show on the air.

You are right about production costs of a weekly tv show that is what I have been saying too. There is no guarantee DB is dramatically gonna start making more money if DBS is on the air again.

Personally I am happy with another movie. A TV show requires too much investment both monetary and time wise plus I don't wanna deal with this f**king fanbase blowing up on minor details of info again like every godamn week and then the tonnes of people that will hate watch the show and bring in their unneeded negativity. Then you'll have even more clickbairty vids and articles, misinformation spreading etc. Wayyyy too much to deal with. Broly was rather easy in the end to avoid all that shit and I went in knowing literally nothing, so yeah I am game for another movie absolutely.

Unfortunately I think this is usually the case when bringing back an old series that ended years ago. There's going to be some new content but it's mainly going to be a nostalgia trip. At the end of every saga, I hear fans wishing the next will move past EoZ, involve the next generation, raise the stakes, etc but then the following saga is revealed to still take place a short while later. After seven storylines crammed within this timeskip, it's becoming less likely it's ever going to more than an interquel. Toriyama already explained why he chose this time period back when BoG was released and it looks like that still holds true.

I would prefer it ends with a decent conclusion than getting more ridiculous or forced the longer it continues. We have characters that are powerful enough to destroy universes and almost every hair color has been covered so I'm not too excited to see a SSJUI or rainbow-color form or Goku getting strong enough to destroy the multiverse. I think the story that began in BoG sorta comes full circle with Goku mastering UI and surpassing Beerus.

@Baggie_Saiyan

I respect your opinion, you prefer a db movie to a db show, but I don´t really get the reasoning behind "let´s have a movie so that the db fanbase can´t criticize it, like it would a tv show". Are you actually saying that, or did I get that wrong?

I think I have the right to say what I like and don´t like about a db show (or a movie, for that matter), and if the negative stuff outweighs the positive stuff, I should be able to express it, as long as I do it with respect; I would say that´s partly the purpose of this forum, actually.


Anyways, if we are getting another movie, I hope an anime series is not far behind, and I hope they don´t rehash characters, locations, plotlines, etc. Please, Toei, make some awesome new designs for villains or possible allies (or both, as it tends to happen in db)!

For starters, less Frieza would be nice. I think db is having a Frieza overdose.

I really want them to kill Freeza off for good. So sick of seeing him; he's reduced to a Skeletor type of villain "grr I'll get you next time now I'm going back to my evil lair!"

Just a movie? Unfortunately, that's a bad news for me.
Dragon Ball Super TV series is dead.

I hope to god we don't see Yamoshi or Cumber as we've had enough Saiyans for now. This movie needs something different and original. In terms of Vegeta, I don't think they're giving him UI as he said in both the anime and manga that he wants something different.

Just so you guys know...

“Making preparations” for a movie doesn’t mean 2uper isn’t happening as a TV series, lol.

Making preparations doesn’t mean they’ve started WORKING on a movie. It means they are planning everything to start working on a movie.

And with all the info we have from animators and other sources that preproduction for 2uper started some time ago, this movie “announcement” (if you’d even call it that) does not debunk 2uper in anyway.

None of this news means that the DB anime will continue only in movie format.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

Well, yes, that is true, but this piece of news is currently the only public information we have from an official source regarding the franchise so naturally people will speculate on why we hear about a movie that is just being planned while same source is denying the existence of the series.

A very legitimate and, dare I say, VALID counterpoint with no hate or shade thrown. I respect and agree with this point. Carry on.

I wonder if the plan going forward is to do movies every couple years while the DBS manga covers the storylines taking place in between the films, and the manga will just skip over the movies while still acknowledging that they happened in the same way it treated DBS: Broly.

Zero context, zero setup. Its in NO way meant to be seen as a "beginning point" for ANYTHING other than the next story arc. It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

This would probably be better than retelling the same story several times, but it also makes the series a bit harder to follow.
Not to mention, we don't really know if the storyline from DBS Broly will affect the series in the long run. The same could be said by the current manga arc: so far there are no real signs that it will be a stand-alone story or if it will affect the bigger picture of the series.

I bet the Moro saga from the Manga will get adapted into a movie.

Having a movie cover an already made story doesn’t seem like a good move. There is much less of an incentive to watch it if you already know what happens. With a tv series, even if you know what happens, its still free entertainment. I’m the movie’s case, you’d be paying to see something only for the animation as you’ve already seen the story. Hell, since its a movie, the plot may even be a watered down version of the OG Moro arc.
