Toei Animation announced a new Dragon Ball Super anime movie on Sunday, with Akira Toriyama penning and designing the characters. The movie is scheduled to open in theaters in Japan in 2022.

The Dragon Ball Super television anime, sequel to Dragon Ball Z, aired in 131 episodes from July 2015 to March 2018. The first movie of the Super series, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, opened in Japan in December 2018, grossing over 13.5 million yen (approximately US$12.3 million) worldwide. It was nominated at the 42nd Japan Academy Film Prize in the Animation of the Year category.

Toriyama and Toyotarou began serializing the Dragon Ball Super manga in June 2015 in V-Jump magazine. Shueisha shipped the 15th volume on April 2. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in North America and published the 12th volume on March 2.

Awesome. I haven't caught up to seeing Dragon Ball Super yet (I have 30-40 episodes left before I catch up, actually), but I can't wait.

The return of an "unexpected" character has also been teased by Akira Toriyama himself, who's fortunately on board and in charge!

Place your bets!

Oh, such unexpected news to start my day ^.^

I guess the antagonist would be Moro? I hope it's another guy like Cell or maybe to surprising extent....Omega Shenron :)

We already saw this coming since 2019 when the producer hinted a new DBS movie is in the making. I'm surprised that it took them this long to announce it lol.

More like spending on 80 episodes if we counts the DBS manga contents as well lol.

lol only Hunter x Hunter 2011 manage to have consistent animation quality for a 100+ long running anime

out of 100+ episodes only like 20-30 episodes at most will have sakuga animation like that if Toei is to be check with its history

after the movies recap shit, animation wasnt that bad imo, also animation isnt the only thing i watch dragon ball for, imo arcs can be more fleshed out when they arent limited buy 90 minute runtime, broly movie was fun but felt super thin/rushed on the story side of things imo, also i just miss binge watching db episodes

Episode 110 is the best reason for any dragon Ball fan to watch Dragon Ball super. Not saying that there aren't other great things about it as well.

Im surprised by this, I thought DBS was kinda dead? The series was a bit meh, but the Broly Movie was great. Im looking forward to seeing Lunch again.

I'm excited that we are getting a new Dragon Ball Super movie next year and I think is better off doing movies instead of another long running TV series. Plus Toei can go all out on the animation due to having a huge movie budget. Dragon Ball movies are prone to make money overseas thanks to the success of DBS: Broly.

After the DBS anime, I think I'd rather rewatch Dragonball and DBZ again instead of watching this, but glad for the people who are hyped.

sure, the next movie would be about unaged goku again fighting his inner booger that had been stuck on his nose for quite a while and he decided that was enough so then...

I'm surprised by how little hype there is for the film maybe it's because most fans thought Super was mediocre or just fine? Still this is Dragon Ball...
