The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

They said the remake was in development before Toriyama passed away. It might not be until 2028 or whenever the SH arc gets adapted that we get something new with no involvement from Toriyama. I still feel the revival has been winding down with less frequent releases since the anime ended. They might only be concluding the era involving by Toriyama than intending for it to be a new long running era that probably everyone knows won't perform as well without him.

The production committee is taking more time to approve projects because doing so requires more planning now. The long-running anime is increasingly no longer a thing because the productions committees can spread a series out over a longer period of time while maintaining profits and animation studios are so booked that unless a production studios schedules when they want to have a new project releasing it will take even more time to produce projects.

During the production of the 2015 series and the beginning of Dragon Ball Super: Broly in 2017, it's pretty apparent that they decided to focus on smaller projects to maintain quality and oversight, while still being able to sell a new project every so often. I imagine this was done so that Toriyama wouldn't complain about the quality of the anime again.

The problem with that is that Toriyama doesn't know anything about anime and the actual good parts of the 2015 series are getting ignored, instead of letting Toriyama work with one of the writers from it, like Tomioka Atsuhiro, to better flesh out his ideas and bridge the gap between Super 2015, Broly, Super Hero and Daima.

Does this refer to the start of production as well? Because I don't believe that just because Toriyama was involved means production started before his death. For them to still be in the Champa arc seems very strange to me, I believe production started at the beginning of 2025 at the earliest.

Akio Iyoku said we would have 10 years of content. That means we would have to wait at least until the 8th year (2031) to see 100% new stuff made without Toriyama from the animation side.

This doesn’t need to be a thing, though. It just means they are just not willing to get out of the comfort zone and try again. Many of the past long-running anime had been successful without major issues is pretty evident that it can still be pulled off with success. What happened in 2015 doesn’t need to dictate the future. With proper planning in place, a long-running series can look great.

The Moro and Granolah arcs need to be made with long-running series in mind. I have seen you push for a shorter series many times. While that would mean a higher quality, it doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. Dragon Ball isn’t a short series franchise. If I am in a production committee, I would push to make new Super arcs and the future iterations a long-running series with side stories as limited series here and there.

Between remaking all of Super1 (in one batch or multiple), adapting Broly, Moro, Granolah and SuperHero stuff into anime format AND whatever Black Freeza saga is (which can still be easily sold on Toriyama's name), they have easy 10 more years of content to stretch and milk. I don't think they need to worry yet. The obvious big question "now what?" will happen when they finish the Black Freeza stuff (manga and anime-wise), reach EOZ and start wondering how can they produce something new post-EOZ that would be better than GT while the fans won't believe anymore that Toriyama was involved in planning

What is 'short', though? Four episodes? Thirteen episodes? Twenty-six episodes? Twenty-six episodes is six months of watching something, that's quite a bit of time! The anime industry is no longer just putting out 48-52 unambitious episodes a year because these projects are increasingly targeting an audience with increasingly higher standards for directing and animation. The industry changed, it happens!

If the plan for these projects is to follow the story outlines provided by Toriyama and not to create character arcs that Toriyama would not, there is no point in making a storyline spread itself out over two, three or four cours. We don't know how long the outlines for the Moro Granolah arcs were, nor do we know if the manga adaptions will be used as a starting point for the animated adaption. Even if it was, those arcs do not need to be adapted at only 1-1.5 chapters per episode. There are more technically and emotionally effective ways of telling the story told by the Dragon Ball Super comic.

Like, I keep advocating for shorter adaptions because I don't just regurgitate the same three hundred episode shounen anime for my media diet. I don't just eat shit cooked to forever stay behind the story of the concurrently running original comic. Experiences influence how we view art, we do not need to keep playing to the same rule book—especially when the project is not driven by a creative figure that actually has free reign to design these projects to work in long-running formats.

Say all the shit you (general) will about Yuyama Kunihiko, but letting him do whatever he wanted as chief director meant he could design the Pocket Monsters anime to properly work as a infinite cour series because it had original, episodic stories that were not trying to follow the plot of a weekly comic baked directly into the design of the series. You ain't getting that unless a completely original series separate from Toriyama's story outlines is made.

I also just don't want to sit through two cours dedicated to the Moro arc where it's nothing but meaningless fighting because the series isn't allowed to be well-written, it's only allowed to follow Toriyama's outline. I don't need to see Gohan, Piccolo and the other Earthlings all fighting Moro and his minions in another "getting the band back together to play the greatest hits" yet again. There's no story arc there, there's no character shit that is actually happening, and it has nothing to do with the main thrust of the arc as has been established up to that point already.

What the fuck was even the point of this post again? Bad things are bad and we should let creators make good things? Yeah, sure, right. The problem with that is you can do good things in a lot of different ways and one isn't necessarily better than the other. Voila.
