Super Animation Catalogue 2.0

This is fantastic news. Was a bit scared by Kohei Hatano's eventually taking over the series, but thankfully, these two beasts are coming.

I really hope the new series directors won't eliminate blood from the series.

Not directly at you, but this reminds me of a question I've had for a while;

Why are some of you so bloody obsessed with the amount of blood in this show?

I don't care that much about blood, however it is nice to see some in fights since it makes them more enjoyable.

[Gashif Aldi]

Does that mean Morio Hatano is not gonna be the next arc's director?
I mean Ryoto Nakamura and Nagamine is Co-Director.
Right? I hope the schedule does improve, so both of them didn't get screwed too.

5 directors. Dang.
But, these two are legendaries right?
I liked Nagamine's DBKai OP in Saiyan Saga.

But, seeing these two made me pretty happy... At least it's not Kouhei Hatano....
Are these two brothers?
They have both Hatano in their names

[Hit!!]

Its not that i like blood, but i find it ridiculous when a character gets a massive hole right in his guts and absolutely not one drop of blood comes out. Its kind of bullshit!!

Yeah. Both Ryota Nakamura and Tatsuya Nagamine are going to co-direct the show. Only them.
And no, they're not brother or affiliated in any way.

Yeah? In DB, the characters regularly get shot full of bullet holes and don't bleed, I bet that doesn't bother most of you. It seems to just be the fact that DBS doesn't have much blood, I just don't get it.

[Sodhi]

Just so this is clear. These will be the two new Director of Super. Both Hatano are leaving.

Is that right? I assumed that one was staying. Damn... this does not bode well...

...but who knows? Maybe this was planned out well enough that we won't see major fallout. Either way, I say we've found the culprit(s) behind this controversial new filter.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

Hatano Kouhei might become a part of the regular rotating episode directors, but Hatano Morio is without question leaving. I assume it's either for the new Saint Seiya or Sailor Moon Crystal S4.

In early DB whenever a character gets shot it's for comedic effect. I don't think Lunch shooting Roshi in the head would be very funny if his face was left as a bloody pulp afterwards.

[dhaval_dongre]

Woah, 2 new directors that's shocking. I guess the new filter might be their decision, that's why it seemed so radical from what we had seen earlier in Super.

Sodhi did mention on his Twitter that Nagamine has good connections with some talented animators, so we will see. Plus, Shida and Otsuka did mention that they were going to work on Super after the FT arc ended, so I guess that's true and probably down to him, and they must have know the SD changes beforehand. At the least Kohei is not the one who is going to spearhead the series. I like him, his episode 56 was my favorite, so I hope he is still connected with the series, but him being the only SD would have been a bit too much. Sad to see Morio leave though. Probably he was here on a temporary basis, when Chioka left after the series was suffering a crisis. We cannot forget the fact that Super came out of nowhere and affected Toei's other projects, which could have led to them being postponed.

5 SD in 77 episodes is not a good sign, but most of it was down to the crisis this series was in when it started. I won't say that its in a good place yet, but its better than before.
So having 2 SDs working beforehand can be helpful as well. But tbh, only time will tell, it might be also that the series is still facing a huge crisis like before. Lets see how this arc turns out and what other new animators show up.

[Gashif Aldi]

Could it be? That both Nagamine and Nakamura is prepping for this arc in-mid FT's arc?
We all speculated that the fillers is for the schedule improvements. We also speculated that Morio is writing the new Arc. But, now we know that he's not gonna be returning. So, I just assumed that both Nakamura and Nagamine are writing the arc in-middle of FT's arc.
Are both of them as good as Chioka/Morio?
After seeing, watching, and observing. Nagamine, and Nakamura are legendaries. But I can't really compare them to Chioka/Morio

But, if they're Co-Directors. Who will be the main SD??
Is it possible to have a freelancers Director? (Lol)

[Sodhi]

Co meaning that they are a part of 5 director list of Super so far. Both of them will be SD for this new arc, which is the first time this has happened outside filler.

[dhaval_dongre]

All of Nakamura's episodes in Super have been fantastic. So its nice to see him become a SD. He will be a regular now which is great. I don't know anything about Nagamine though, so it will be great if guys can tell me more about him.

[emperior]

I'm optimistic for this new arc. I think it will be a major improvement from what we've seen so far.

[Gashif Aldi]

He directed the DBKai Opening in Saiyan Saga & Frieza Saga. CMIIW.

Nagamine has been series director of Happiness Charge Precure!,Heartcatch Precure!, and Saint Seiya Omega. He has also directed, storyboarded and was involved in production of Film Z. He also directed and storyboarded the most recent one piece TV special. He has done a lot more, but I am trying to show he is not bad at all.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

Nagamine is a good director, good SD as well. One Piece Film Z was excellent thanks to his meticulous planning and contacts. But, will he be given time? That's the real issue. I don't think he will. Nakamura iirc is debuting as SD. If anything Nakamura will direct less episodes now cause he has to take the burden of managing the entire production.

Co-director could be something like what the new PreCure series is doing. It has Kaizawa as chief director and Kureta second to him. Maybe Nagamine will act as the chief. We'll see.

4 out of 5 directors in DBS are some of the best talents Toei has, but they're wasted cause of poor management and scheduling issues.
