[nhienphan2808]

Likely we will. Minus did get animated. And Tights was interesting enough and distinct enough from Bulma for Toei to invest in.

[Peach]

Probably not. I wish it would though. A movie or a short FLCL style format show would be sweet.

I think projects like Jaco, Cross Epoch, and Neko Majin will probably stay manga only. It's just been so long, and they're still not adapted.

[MasenkoHA]

It would be more entertaining than Dragon Ball 2uper at least

[Trouser]

No. There's no Goku, so... No. This series can't exist without him. I don't know if it's okay or if it's sad, but no Goku = no series.

This series/OVA would be better than anything after Battle of Gods, though.

It's gonna blow your mind when you find out that there are billions of other tv shows without Goku in them.

That's true, but TOEI are notoriously risk averse when it comes to Dragon Ball and have had Goku (or Goku Jr in the case of the GT special) as the central figure of every movie, special and series since. Super Hero seems to be testing the waters with Gohan and Piccolo taking centre stage but initially Goku was used in the promotional material, and we know he'll be in the movie and likely have a not insignificant role to play.

We're not talking about Dragon Ball we're talking about Jaco the Galactic Patrolman


Fans suggesting Dragon Ball without Goku =/= Jaco spin off show based on Toriyama's already existing manga

But the other two you mentioned aren’t canon jaco is it’s a prequel to dragon ball plus jaco and tights are in super so and they adapted dragon ball minus in super broly so.

I wouldn't mind if they include a Jaco the galactic patrolman saga after the DB Minus stuff if DB Super 2 is made, but it's unlikely given how many episodes the anime would spent without Goku (or any other familiar character) if they did that. It's sad but I don't think Dragon Ball will do this thing were they put a side-story or flashback about a character like Naruto or One Piece does for several episodes.
Either they manage to switch between present and past scenes so there's a balance or they get through Jaco's story really quick.

A OVA would be just as rushed since it wouldn't be much longer than a regular episode, and I don't think Toei'll make multiple OVAs. A TV Special could work I guess.

It’s almost a decade old. I think that ship sailed.

Haven’t read it yet, is it good? I’d be interested in a 1 episode of Kintoki actually.

Tell that to hellsing ultimate the first two ovas of tenchi muyo to name a few.

Well OVAs lenght depend, sometimes it's only a few minutes and others it's almost a hour or more. Toei usually ranks these ovas from 20 to 30 minutes, and they're also usually a single part OVA.

After checking the chapter number and pages again, it has 231 pages (without the Minus special chapter) so I don't think even a TV Special could cover the manga material properly without skipping stuff. I think the best would be to adapt it onto the anime when it returns. Not only would it increase the episode length without using filler, the story could fit somewhere where Jaco is used. Ideally it should be adapted after the events of Dragon Ball Minus and before the arrival of Broly to Earth.

An OVA doesn't have a set length. Since its not made for tv broadcast it doesn't have a required timeslot + commercials to fill

[supersaiyamangod]

I hate that they introduced jaco in super without his story getting a anime adaptation first because for people who didn’t read the manga it’s confusing especially with Bulma’s sister tights.

[Seekeroftruth]

if we get a jaco series i want it to be like rock lee and friends.

[TheGreatness25]

I guess one has to consider the "why". Would it benefit Toei? Would they make money? Or would they just spend money on animation, the voice actors, etc. for a product that people just wouldn't pay money for? Would people pay enough money to justify its release? Or would it be mostly pirated or ignored altogether because of the existing manga? These are considerations that go into it.

I'd love to see it. Much like I'd love for Funimation to dub everything ("Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return," "Episode of Bardock," "Heroes," "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans," etc.). Much like I'd love an anime version of Jaco and "That Time I got Reincarnated as Yamucha." But... I would understand if that didn't happen and there's always the manga, which is my default way to enjoy the series now anyway.

There are like four different continuities in Dragon Ball right now and all of them have different ideas of what is and isn't "canon."

I seriously doubt they would adapt something so old that doesn't have Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan. 'Canon' or not, it's a little risky.

I guess what makes Jaco different is that he's an actual character in Super and his story directly correlates with Super--both the manga and anime, really.
