"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[UpFromTheSkies]

So has anyone watched the DVD's yet? I'm really curious if they've improved the animation or art.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

The first rental DVD only includes Episodes 1-3. There really isn't much they should bother with fixing there. December 2nd will be the real test, to see if #5 gets fixed. It's the only one that truly needed it.

While I agree with you, I don't get it... You think they only gonna make improvements in only really needed episodes, not all?

The other episodes weren't perfect but they're not so bad that they need to go back to the drawing board and fix them like ep5 so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only one that get's improved.

Also let's not forget Super is ongoing too so do they have time to touch up every single episode for home release? Probably not.

Anyone know the animation staff behind episode 17? The beginning of the episode, with Goku and the tractor and basically that whole scene, reminded me of one of the people who drew episodes on the Original Z. Keisuke Masunaga, or as I like to call him, the pointy-nose guy.

Page 3 of the episode's thread says it's someone named Ishikawa: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... &p=1008196

I checked the animation styles guide; there's an Ishikawa there for Z, but I don't know if it's the same guy. http://www.kanzenshuu.com/animation-styles/

Ishikawa Osamu is not Ishikawa Shingo, who worked on Dragon Ball Z. Ishikawa Shingo was an employee of K-Production. Before Dragon Ball Super Ishikawa worked on the Tenth Anniversary film, too.

Don't you mean 16? The tractor was barely seen on 17.
16 was done by Iseki Shuichi, and many people were reminded of Masunaga episodes.

[JulieYBM]

Iseki was born in 1985, too, so he definitely didn't work on Dragon Ball Z. He's probably just a fan of Masunaga Keisuke.

I did! My apologies. I just got done marathoning the last 2 episodes (16 and 17) and 17 was fresher on the mind. Thanks for the clarification.

Do you guys think that there's a possibility that there might more than 3 Sagas that is saga after Universe 6 arc ? Any hope ?

The show will probably keep going as long as it makes money, and considering what happened with Kai I think that this time Toei will consider how well the show does outside of Japan as well. The show could end after Universe Six, or it could go for a couple years, we'll just have to wait and see.

[precita]

Its also possible they'll take breaks. Like the show will end for a year...come back 2 years later, etc.

Something similar to the break in Kai between the Cell and the Buu arcs.

That wasn't intentional though. Buu Kai was never supposed to air on TV it was made purely for international audience. Toriko however was doing horrendous from what I understand so they pulled that and shoved Buu Kai in there instead since it was already done and all they had to do was cut it etc.

U6 might be 2 arcs,a tournament arc and the super dragon ball arc.

I think as long as it has high ratings,gets people to buy merchandise&Toriyama wanting to write more then it'll probably go way beyond 3 arcs.

Even if Toriyama wants to retire from the franchise again they could keep going if it's doing well, they could just ask him to give them some "world" information to work with and have him throw some ideas their way and then maybe show him what they plan for approval.

What? So they intended to end Kai in the Android Arc? Absurd.

They didn't "intend" to. They canceled it when it wasn't moving/selling the merchandise they hoped and replaced it with the "new blood", Toriko. International backers helped to fund the continuation for the Buu Arc for their markets though. When Toriko ended up not doing any better, and since they already had the Buu Arc finished for the international audience, they just slapped it back on TV to take up space until they decided what to do next. It just so happened that thing to do next was Super, because BOG and "F" started another mini revival of the franchise.

Well, it did happen. Nobody thought it was just a "break" in 2011.
