I don't think it'll be in an arcade world but set directly after Super and the new movie. That doesn't mean Beat, GT or other heroes elements won't make it in but it'll just have a story structure rather than a random game one. For example, Beat will be a saiyan from possibly u6, not some random kid playing through a machine.

On the surface it sounds really bad but there are ways they can make it the complete opposite like what I mentioned above. Let's be honest, Heroes' 2 arcs are way more interesting than what we've gotten in Super's tournaments and RF so it has that going for it at least.

Its about heroes, so it definitely will bring the arcs heroes has done so far. I wonder whoch arcs theyll be including in the anime. Probably the current arc with fuu and the planets.

There was also a hell arc with Dabura, something I've been wanting to see forever.

One thing this could mean for Super is that the manga will continue under Toriyama's stories and after a year or 2 the anime will adapt them. Toriyama said the manga was going to be different from the anime moving forward so this might be what he was talking about.

I think we need a bit more information.

Where will this air?

Is it gonna be an OVA?

Is it on going or run for a few cours?

Will it be a web series?

Well this is unfortunate. I don't have any interest in dbh beyond the game exclusive outfits.

Promotional anime...does this mean it's like an oav or will it air on tv; delaying Super's return?

This might outright become the new main anime depending on how well it does so Super may never come back and Toriyama will just work on the movies.

Doesn't PR anime mean that it's advertising the main product? I mean that was a given.

Yes, I think that being a PR anime means nothing. Pokemon anime is a PR anime too, for example.

People are now jumping to conclusions and thinking PR Anime means 1-2 episodes short :lol:

OVA or web series most likely. Kitaro just started and they're not gonna pull the plug on that so no where to air. Given they're gonna string a few episodes for a screening I think the episodes themselves may not be too long or have that many actually animated.

As of right now it doesn't sound like much but it could be depending on how well it does.

That'd be super disappointing. I can't see myself following a dbh series week to week. It's just not my thing outside of stuff like Gokû's cool winter dougi. I have no interest in the game content or format.

And even if they have Toriyama just on movies....I just went over two weeks without posting here partly because there's been no new news on that film. It's not as fun as having a weekly show because the movie news release cycle is so slow.

No kidding. Super was already merchandise driven, something like heroes will be overkill.

If they get proper writers this could be something. I don't know what but something.

So Broly is finally getting his own series. And SSJ4 also returns.

Oh, Mr. Mignogna. Your chords are gonna be so sore.

I honestly wasn't expecting a dbh series type until Toriyama passed away seeing how he vetoed them doing a dbh series however many years ago.

I agree, it's overkill and not something I'll be watching/following outside of Gokû gifs.

I don't mind watching it (or parts of it) but I most likely won't support it financially unless it just has the game's name in common which doesn't seem to be the case.
