Somebody in another thread said something to the effect of "move over Daima, here's the real hype" and I'm still lol'ing

[Chuquita]

This was presumably the plan, but all these announcements and no new story. Super's getting rehashed, we're getting Moro, but we already know what happens there too because of the manga.

I wonder if there's some stipulation somewhere that says they can't add anymore new stories (anime or manga)? Or maybe they don't think any new stories would sell without Toriyama.

Both the manga and anime were on hiatus because of the legal dispute behind the scenes. Now that it's been resolved, I expect the manga's return to be announced sometime this year, likely during Jumo Festa in December.

Sweet, looking forward to both and I can’t complain

That would mean 2026 is a whole new year without the manga too, and also DB doesn't reveal much at Jump Festa as we've seen last year. I'm hoping it manages to make a return this year somehow.

[Luso Saiyan]

Agreed. I am thoroughly retired from new Dragon Ball content and will never watch or care about non-Toriyama slop, but I'm also apathetic towards this... what, fifth edition of Battle of Gods? The best version of it was always the first one! Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen!

What I'm excited about is the implication that they'll revisit the other arcs not covered by the movies (Universe 6, Future Trunks, ToP).

Those arcs are in desperate need of a trim, just as much as the retellings are. Cutting them down may not fix everything, but better pacing will go a long way in improving their overall quality.

[Saiya6Cit]

Never liked Super, and the reboot will not make any difference.

But I will support the project, because I support the franchise. They have not done anything unforgivable (yet), therefore my loyalty remains.

If the anime has better pacing, I might even watch it, why not? Vegeta is there, Bulma is there. It is worth the shot.

There's plenty of unforgivable here.

This looks like a massive upgrade:

I don't know why there's so much negativity on this forum. This is undeniably an improvement.

They need/deserve better animation more than pacing, but I'll take both.

[The Dark Knight]

So...who's looking forward to the holy green tint on the inevitable home release ?

The difference is honestly night and day; I don't even think it's fair to call this a remaster, as it looks like a full-blown remake. If the "remaster" looks this good, just how amazing is the actual new content in the Moro arc going to look ?

Well yes, it's not a remaster, but not because of the artwork. It's not a remaster because there will be changes. As they said, they'll make revisions and new cuts to better adhere to Akira Toriyama's original vision and world-building.

This is -NOT- Super Kai. It's not just an artwork upgrade. It's a remake.

They're calling it an "enhanced" edition, which honestly doesn't do it justice. If Super looked even half this good during its original run, there would've been no negativity surrounding it. Dragon Ball is finally getting the proper sequel it deserves.

[Luso Saiyan]

That doesn't make it not a remaster, nor does it make it a remake. It's a remaster because the base work is the same. They are only doing revisions to some shots and scenes. A remake would start from scratch.

[BernardoCairo]

In my subjective opinion:

Remake: made from scratch
Remaster: based on the original work, but updated, modernized, reworked
Rebuild: something almost brand new, inspired by the original work (like the new FFVII games)

[GreatSaiyaJeff]

So my overall thoughts on the announcements.

1. Moro, excited to finally see that going to be animated. To me it's the best arc in Super.

2. Beerus, I'm annoyed that they are going back to Super to remaster/tweak it. I'm always the mind that skip that 14 episodes and watch the movie. However since they are putting effort to make it look good, I'll still give it a shot.

3. Age 1000 looks interesting from the teaser. I'm guessing it's going to be like Xenoverse 3. Until we get more info in April, I'm more curious then excited.

4. The character poll is great and hilarious to see which characters made it to the top ranks

I have enjoyed all of these. Don't put them on par with freaking Evolution, that's disrespectful. Especially since Bio-Broly does give Goten&Trunks some much needed screentime. And the GT arcs are a fine adventure, while Vegeta's moustache is a gag by AT himself.

[Artorias]

The fact that we're at least getting Moro down the line softens the blow of the Super remake/remaster announcement. Good strategy on their part to lead with the more exciting announcement first. I can live with Super being remade to lead up to the new content, but I still ideally wish they would not have gone this route.

Specifically regarding just the first "Beerus" arc, my biggest problem with BoG getting remade AGAIN is that this just isn't a story that is worth 4 retellings. It's not some complicated or particularly well written classic tale that warrants this much attention and re-examination. It's a nice little story that should have stayed as a 2013 anime film that came out to kickstart the new age of Dragon Ball and set up the new framework of the world going forward, but for some reason I'm now going to be watching Goku fight the purple talking cat on King Kai's planet yet again more than a decade later. There's just absolutely no reason we should still be dwelling on this story 13 years later after it's original release. And the same can be said for most of Super. I find it to be such a waste fundamentally to be dumping a bunch of time and resources into "enhancing" a story this worthless and mostly forgettable. It frankly just doesn't deserve it in my opinion. A polished turd is still a turd at the end of the day. Super at this point should've been what GT became in most people's minds: a poorly executed TV show from decades past that came and went and never lived up to expectations that we all collectively then moved on from. I'm sick of thinking about this empty mishap of a show 11 years later and counting.

You say you can live with Super being remade. But you wish it didn't go this route. That's contradictory. You think it's worthless and mostly forgettable. Well that's your opinion. I don't share your take.

In case you didn't know. There were a lot of complaints about the animation back then when Super came out. The remaster is doing what people didn't think they would be getting.

A polished turd is still a turd at the end of the day you say. That's a turd take. If you're sick of this series then maybe it just isn't for you.

I get it, and the fact that it's not a full blown remake but instead seems to just be closer to a "remaster" definitely helps. I'm not mad at this announcement, like I said I can certainly live with it. I just find it to be wasteful and pointless. And it seems they are doing some full blown new animation cuts, it's not all just touch ups of old footage. Several talented animators are on this apparently as well, so I don't know. Having someone as talented as Takahashi spending his time re-animating Dragon Ball Super of all things seems like such a waste to me.

It might seem wasteful and pointless to you. But to others it isn't. You might think it's a waste. But to them it's not.

I agree with pretty much everything you're saying in an objective sense. I was just mostly coming at it from my own personal reaction of being in the fandom for years and wanting desperately to move on from what I see as a borderline disaster of a show. Call me dramatic, but instead of dwelling on the Super era and bending over backwards to pull new fans into the Super storyline, I would rather them do the opposite, which is ignore Super and pretend it basically doesn't exist, and start fresh from ground zero moving forward. Kinda like what they did with Daima (even though I didn't end up liking that show either). I know this is unrealistic, but a man can dream.

If you think Super should be ignored and pretend it doesn't exist, I cannot agree with you. If it were such a disaster it wouldn't be having people watching it. Super had interesting things about it despite what the naysayers say. As for Daima. That turned out to be pretty good.

1. Being able to "live with something" but also not wanting it to have happened is not contradictory at all. I'm saying it's not ideal and I don't like it, but I'm not livid about it. This is an extremely common perspective you, I, and everyone else has about many things life. We come to terms with things we ultimately don't like or want. That's life.

2. I fully understand the animation was bad, and I get WHY they're doing it. I'm just expressing the fact that I don't think it's worth it. Sometimes it's okay to just let things live in the past and remain a mistake, and move on.

3. "If it were such a disaster people wouldn't have watched it" is an obvious fallacy, come on. We all know that the number of people that consume a product has nothing to do with how good or bad it is. I clearly meant that it was a "disaster" from a writing and story perspective. It was obviously very successful financially, I would never argue against that.

4. A lot of your post is just "no I disagree", and I mean...yea that's fine. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I'm fully aware some people enjoyed Super. A lot of us also didn't. A lot of us found it be a slog to get through. Both perspectives are legitimate and can coexist. And just because I didn't care for the Super era doesn't mean I'm magically now somehow not a Dragon Ball fan.

IMHO Dragon Ball died with the original creator and now there are remakes and scraping the barrel on whatever unfinished work (or finished but fucked up by rights holders) he had.

Agreed. I am thoroughly retired from new Dragon Ball content and will never watch or care about non-Toriyama slop, but I'm also apathetic towards this... what, fifth edition of Battle of Gods? The best version of it was always the first one! Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen!

The most cynical part of all though is the Moro adaptation having "Akira Toriyama" plastered over the key visual when people know good and damn well that was Toyotaro's baby. And it's not even coming until like 2027 or some shit.

Somebody in another thread said something to the effect of "move over Daima, here's the real hype" and I'm still lol'ing

You act as if it’s definitive that Dragon Ball cannot be good without Toriyama. They absolutely can make good contents with Dragon Ball.

Even if it’s Toyotaro’s creation, it’s still Toriyama’s IP. Everything and anything with Dragon World belongs to Toriyama and Toyotaro is using his IP to continue the story. Don’t read too much into it.
