Dragon Ball Super |OT6| The waiting game

Toei announced a remake of Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai, and more World Trigger. Putting off Dragon Ball again.
OP
OP
World Trigger and Dragon Quest Dai got announced, so there is unlikely to be an opening for DB for the next 4 years.
Damn wtf? Why they putting it on the back burner after the burst in popularity again? Not even a movie hint?
OP
OP
Nothing at all, not even an update on what Toriyama teased last year.
It really is baffling, DB is the biggest its ever been right now, it's Toei and Bandai's #1 money maker by a pretty large amount and the cast is all getting really old and yet they are just going to let it waste away.

I think it's safe to say super as An anime brand will never come back
Super will be used for movies
But the next dragon ball anime in 2024 or later will be a new subtitle
Eh at this piont I'm used to the hiatus agian
Not like I had any new dragon ball anime for the 1st 15 years of my life
Will the manga keep running until they kill the super branding for something new?
Since the manga skips over movies minus battle of gods at the beginning it becomes more piontless as a promotional tool
And I don't believe there is say much merch for manga original stuff if at all
If at some piont a new anime gets announced at a diffrent time slot in the next couple years
Then cool

Toei has nothing to do with the manga, that would be The Dragon Ball Room at Shueisha, the group that controls the franchise. Toei's planning division for DB is specifically for animation stuff.
On Vegeta, in Super Vegeta has been moving away from that one track mind and none of that explains why Whis never told him his Ki control is wacked and needs to fixed. I mean, he told Vegeta to rest more and stop being so tense, yet couldn't bother to add Ki control to the list.
And even more, Mastered Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan in the manga is all about controlling you Ki to keep your aura in your body. So even in the Super manga, this makes little sense. Vegeta's Ki control shouldn't be so bad that his power jumps several levels just by controlling it.
OP
OP
It's not Ki control, it's keeping his body and spirit balanced. Vegeta never stopped focusing specifically on his physical development.
Except he did when he learned to control his Ki so well that he switched between god and Blue with no issue over just making Blue stronger.
And that still doesn't explain why Whis never told him.

You have to take into consideration that Broly released in December of 2018, while the others came out early in their respective years. F was first teased 16 months after BoG and officially revealed 20 months after, while Broly was first teased 32 months after F and officially revealed 36 months after. We're 12 months removed from Broly's release.
OP
OP
DBS Broly was announced way earlier than F was, it was announced a full year before it came out, which is a pattern they followed with Stampede after and it worked really well for both movies. Also bringing up the time between F and Broly isn't really relevant when they had a show with a troubled production in between them. I fully expect the next movie to be announced a year before it releases.
What happened to people being so sure a new DB had entered pre production? Just bullshitting?
OP
OP
It wouldn't be the first time a Toei project was cancelled.
Morbid speculation...
Maybe they actually want to wait until Nozawa dies or retires in order to cast cheaper replacement voice actors for the entire cast?
OP
OP
I doubt it, they respect her and the cast too much to do that. It's not really like they need to go cheaper on VAs anyways.
It was always rumor. The entire basis for it was based on animation cells from animators being leaked, and vague comments from the VAs
Well, putting aside that random speculation I posted above, I kind of feared this when I saw the merchandising numbers holding up (and even growing) with no show on air. It's not like they're missing some opportunity cost.
Yeah that was my fear too. If sales are great right now, and they view the show only as a way to boost interest when they start to flag, we might have to wait until Dragon Ball sales dip before we finally get a continuation.
I haven't spent a single dollar on Xenoverse 2, I'm doing my part
That is such a shame, they abruptly ended super at the peak of its popularity and quality and have no plans to bring it back, so weird
Why are we assuming four years? Just cause of the DQ show? How does one exclude the other and for such a long time?
Anyhow, its strange for sure. DB was at an all time worldwide popularity at the end of the TOP. Seems baffling from a business decision. To me it has to be that Toriyama doesn't want another series right now

AFAIK the staff that worked on Super are doing the DQ show, so they're kinda pre-occupied for a long time and production of a new Super anime would be at a standstill.
We don't actually know the staff officially, people are just speculating from the style of the teaser, I think. Either way, another issue is that Toei also just announced a new World Trigger anime. So, even with Kitaro ending soon, it seems unlikely we'll get a third anime series announced.
That said, World Trigger is airing on a completely different tv channel and Dragon Quest will start by fall 2020(although I don't think the channel is confirmed yet), so either Kitaro is lasting longer than expected or we still haven't gotten an announcement regarding what's replacing it.
Maybe the staff realized that the Super anime was not a quality product and wanted to take their time with the next series to ensure that it's worthy of the Dragon Ball name and legacy. That or maybe they even decided to put DB to rest, because it really doesn't need to continue. it ended in 1995 and told a complete story.
If only this really happened.
