Toei Animation’s Reveals Plans On The Future Of ‘Dragon Ball’
Toei Animation has recently announced a makeover of their different departments starting this month.
Fans of Dragon Ball are thrilled because the changes will bring a new third department of planning and production that will solely focus on the anime. Taking the reins will be Atsushi Suzuki for this new department and they will be taking on different projects.
Another change that will take place is the Television Planning Group, which will be renamed to "Planning Division Department." Takashi Washio will remain the head of the department full-time as he will be stepping back from his role at the company's Film Office.
With this news, fans are looking forward to possible spring off series from other universes as this will open the world of Dragon Ball even wider.
Although it remains uncertain how this new department will mean for the future of the series, it is still nice to know that the production company is fully-dedicated to bring more projects to the world of Dragon Ball.
Fans are still eager to know more details about the continuation of Dragon Ball Super. Still, no confirmed details have been released yet. However, a Dragon Ball Super film will be released in Japan later this year.
On the other hand, Akira Toriyama said that the movie will be a continuation of the series and it will explore the history between Freeza and the Saiyans.
"The Dragon Ball Super movie this time will be the next story in the series currently airing on TV. It will be an episode after catching our breath from the climax of the Tournament of Power with the universe's existence on the line; with content that will give a little better understanding about Freeza and the Saiyans, which I hadn't properly depicted up till now; and leading to a mighty foe saved for the occasion, which I think has it shaping up to be a really enjoyable story," he said.
