Toei Animation Is Officially Fixing Dragon Ball Super Forever

by

Dragon Ball fans are thrilled to hear that the popular series is coming back in 2026! A remastered version of Dragon Ball Super is planned for release late next year, and viewers are eagerly anticipating what’s to come.

This new version of Dragon Ball Super essentially restarts the story, picking up where the original series left off after the Tournament of Power. It’s a fresh start and exciting news for fans, suggesting the series will expand and continue for a long time to come.

Toei Animation, the creators of Dragon Ball Super, are committed to improving the series and addressing problems from its first release. They aim to elevate Dragon Ball Super to its full potential and give it the quality it deserves.

Dragon Ball Super Faced A Multitude Of Issues In The Past

  • Bad animation resulting from a rushed production schedule
  • Major pacing issues in the first few arcs

When Dragon Ball Super was first announced, it wasn’t quite a polished product yet. The foundation for the series was laid with the ‘Battle of Gods’ and ‘Resurrection F’ movies. Afterward, it was decided to expand the story further, with input from creator Akira Toriyama and a talented animation team.

The storyline was decent, but the anime had significant production problems. These issues were apparent almost immediately when Dragon Ball Super started, and required intervention from some of the most experienced professionals in the animation industry to prevent the show from failing.

Animators like Naoki Tate worked incredibly hard to create a decent product despite a very tight deadline. It’s surprising the first part of Dragon Ball Super looks as good as it does, considering the disastrous production schedule. Eventually, the problems became overwhelming, and the anime couldn’t continue at that level of quality.

When Tatsuya Nagamine joined the production team during the Tournament of Power arc, Dragon Ball Super had already improved significantly and become more consistent. However, maintaining that high level of action every week proved too difficult in the long run, contributing to the show’s eventual hiatus. Other reasons for the break included a desire to align the story with the ongoing manga.

New Dragon Ball Super Anime Will Fix The Biggest Issues Of The Series

  • Series to feature better animation and pacing

The upcoming Dragon Ball Super anime aims to address problems with the original series. The initial run suffered from poor animation and a demanding production schedule. The remastered version, previewed in a recent trailer, boasts significantly improved visuals. Many scenes have been revised and refined for smoother, more consistent motion. The team responsible for the visual effects and compositing has done exceptional work, elevating the overall look of the show and creating a much more impressive viewing experience.

While the remastered project can’t drastically change the animation itself – it’s already finished – the team can likely improve the look of some of the less impressive scenes. However, this project offers more than just visual touch-ups.

The Pacing Will Be Better Than Ever Before

A major weakness of Dragon Ball Super was its uneven pacing. Story arcs like Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’ felt unnecessarily drawn out, and even later arcs didn’t flow smoothly. The anime often included scenes that could have been trimmed, which would have improved the series as a whole.

The upcoming remastered version of Dragon Ball Super aims to improve the viewing experience, similar to how One Piece’s remastered Fishman Island arc did last year. While this Dragon Ball project is larger in scope, it will generally follow the same approach.

A New Team Will Take Over Once The Galactic Patrol Arc Begins

  • Dragon Ball Super Will truly shine in the Galactic Patrol Arc
  • The new production team will bring up the quality

It’s good that they’re improving the animation in Dragon Ball Super, but the biggest improvements will come when the Galactic Patrol arc starts. That’s when we’ll really see what Toei Animation has planned for the series and how good it can be.

The Galactic Patrol story is expected to be animated sometime in late 2027, giving the studio plenty of time to prepare. If production has already started, fans can be confident it will be a high-quality anime adaptation.

It looks like Dragon Ball Super will have a completely new team working on it starting with the Galactic Patrol arc. Either Naohiro Shintani or Chikashi Kubota will probably be in charge of designing the characters, and a new, well-liked director will also be taking over.

Dragon Ball has a history of amazing animation talent, including animators like Naoki Tate, Ryo Onishi, Yuya Takahashi, and many others. The new series will give these skilled artists the resources they need to create something special. When the Galactic Patrol arc begins, Dragon Ball will finally have a truly modern anime experience – something fans haven’t seen before. Although the arc is still more than a year away, fans are already excited about the future of the series.
