The world of Dragon Ball is gearing up for a huge livestream event where major announcements about the future of the series will be made. The event’s date has been confirmed! This celebration comes as Dragon Ball marks its 40th anniversary since first appearing in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. While many exciting projects are underway, some have been temporarily paused or are facing uncertainty about their future.
Shueisha and Toei Animation are hosting “The Dragon Ball Genki Dama Festival,” a new event to share exciting news about the future of the Dragon Ball franchise, including upcoming video games. While details are still under wraps, Toei Animation Japan has announced a livestream on January 24th, and you can find more information on the event’s official page now.
Dragon Ball Livestream Confirmed for January 24th
I’m really excited about the upcoming Dragon Ball event – it’s for the franchise’s 40th anniversary, and they’re promising something big! They’ve already said we’ll hear about new video games, but I’m guessing there’s more to come. It could involve updates on the anime, manga, or even entirely new projects. Dragon Ball fans have been hoping for news for a long time, so anything they reveal will be a major moment.
Since the sad death of Akira Toriyama, the official Dragon Ball manga has been paused, leaving fans with a major cliffhanger hinting that Black Frieza would become the strongest character. While the current artist, Toyotaro, has expressed interest in continuing the story, the publisher, Shueisha, hasn’t announced any plans for the future of the manga. Any news about what happens next would be very exciting for fans.
Will Dragon Ball Super’s Anime Return?
Fans are especially excited about the possibility of a new Dragon Ball Super anime. The manga has continued the story past the Tournament of Power, providing plenty of source material for a continuation. However, if the manga doesn’t keep pace with the anime, the series risks running into the same problem again in the future.
The return of Dragon Ball Super as an anime has both exciting possibilities and potential drawbacks. However, it also opens the door for other projects, like a new movie. This film could tell an original story, separate from the current manga storyline, giving the franchise breathing room to develop future content. Ultimately, it would be a fantastic way to bring the anime back.
