| first look https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1265604051758125056 im in hopefully Toei can stay consistent with the animation quality of this one, it can run for 2 years at least to finish all the manga |
| Cool, looks like another remake. Sounds like it'll be an adventure-based anime. Will keep an eye on this for now. Damn, the Seiyuu cast is strong for this though, I must say. deg said: first look https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1265604051758125056 im in hopefully Toei can stay consistent with the animation quality of this one, it can run for 2 years at least to finish all the manga Toei Animation will have a lot of long-running shows to keep up then in the form of One Piece, Digimon Adventure and possibly this along with World Trigger 2. I'm not saying that it's not possible but it's hard to imagine consistent animation at the very least, I reckon. |

| Always love watching readaptations of old animes so looking forward to this too. |

But well, only time will tell I suppose. By the way, I forgot to mention earlier but it’s very pleasing to see that Hayashi Yuuki-san will be composing the music for the series. At least the ears will be blessed in the worst-case scenario... |

| I haven't played the games, but I'm looking forward to seeing Dragon Quest Dai. |

| you should all stop talking to Daniel he says a lot of stupid shits like here how can the original be called generic or a clone too wtf |

How does this factual information contradict what I said? This is 2020, not 1990. Generic stories will remain generic whether you feel nostalgic about them or not. it's called novelty . while it's generic nowadays, it wasn't back then. in fact, this series is what become trend starter that the series it self lost it novelty by series follow it afterwards. you are being anachronism.

Dragon Quest was number 1 trending in japan yesterday, surpassing any recent anime announcement. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

It's a classic so will give it a look maybe with the Toriyama art style it will stoke some love for old DB to add to my enjoyment. Never played the DQ games but I am up for hopefully a decent sword and sorcery story. In the meantime I might check out the original before it comes out. Curious since this series has a large influence on the industry. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

I heard that Troriyama is not involved with Dragon Quest Dai even though he did some of the character designs for the Dragon Quest games in the past. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

I heard that Troriyama is not involved with Dragon Quest Dai even though he did some of the character designs for the Dragon Quest games in the past. to summarize, Toriyama do lot of character design (not all) for dragon quest game (the first up to IV). the manga adaptation while didn't drawn by toriyama, was very faithful to game. anime adapted from the manga. so toriyama resemblance was intentional. it need to be noted by the time toriyama working on dragon quest, DB wasn't popular yet. he is more known by previous work, Dr. Slump, which not an action series. so the action and plot design from dragon quest was original. when first DQ: Dai no Daibouken finally subbed (which DBZ already popular by then), lot of people called it DB toriyama rip-of, which very very completely untrue. also yes, this series currently sit on top 30 of top manga sales of all time. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |
