At the moment at New York Comedian Con, Toei Animation introduced a brand-new Dragon Ball anime sequence coming subsequent fall.
The brand new anime’s title is Dragon Ball Daima. Not like the Dragon Ball Tremendous anime, Dragon Ball Daima (the latter phrase loosely interprets to “huge” or “massive” in Japanese) seems to be a chibi-stylized anime that follows Goku and Vegeta’s adventures within the Dragon Ball world. Going off screenshots of the present making the rounds on Twitter, Daima seems to remodel all of DBZ’s characters into itty bitty variations of themselves à la Dragon Ball GT. However in contrast to with the reviled GT, sequence creator Akira Toriyama is closely concerned with the manufacturing technique of the brand new present.
“There are some issues I can’t say however one factor I can let you know is [in] this manufacturing Akira Toriyama has been deeply concerned past his typical capability overseeing the unique work, story, character design, and extra,” government producer Akio Iyoku mentioned. “Moreover, [Toriyama] has deliberate completely new episodes for the storyline so please look ahead to the beginning of the sequence.”
Regardless of being pretty tight-lipped on particulars relating to Toriyama’s degree of involvement in Daima, Iyoku revealed that the sequence’ title was determined days earlier than its world premiere at NYCC and that Toriyama “meticulously” crafted numerous parts of the present, together with the design of varied characters like Bulma, automobiles, and monster designs.
Right here’s Dragon Ball Daima’s trailer.
Going off the trailer, Daima does appear to be a refreshing entry within the long-running anime sequence. Of us like myself who lengthy for the lovable rounded designs of early Dragon Ball characters will get a kick out of seeing those self same designs return for characters like Android 18, Krillin, and Bulma. The present’s animation, which appeared an terrible lot just like the 2D animated phase firstly of Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero, appeared freaking superior too. Goku even will get his trusty Energy Pole again, which is at all times a plus in my ebook.
