Why nobody is talking about this ??? I'm pretty sure a lot of Arabs and Latinos loved this show. Unfortunately, it is not popular among English fans probably because it never got eng dub, and the eng sub was made very recently.

I'm hoping this will be full adaptation with over 100 episodes. This one of the best anime I've seen when I was child. I also read the manga, I can tell you that later parts get even much better than what we have seen in the original TV

EDIT: Added Key visuals

I cannot wait for this to be aired! I remember my good old days when this show was aired in TV. It was an amazing show. I watched it in Arabic, but you know when we get a dub version of any anime, they change so much of its story to fit it in our culture. I cannot wait to watch this subbed in English.

I never watched this before, but I read somewhere that the Dragon Quest manga was quite the big deal when it was still running. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Will this be a complete adaptation from the start to the end of the manga?

I wonder why this is rated G - All Ages in myanimelsit ?? it has some blood and violence. I think it should be PG-13 like dragon ball

Nobody knows. They only mentioned that they will make new anime in Fall 2020.

The original TV anime adapted 88 chapters out of 349 chapters. And final episode was non-canon original ending that did not follow the manga.

If the new anime has same slow pace as the old one then they will need 182 episodes for full adaption. But I think they can manage full adaptation with around ~130 episodes because original one is little slow paced.

I'm an arab and I couldn't agree more, I don't remember the last time I was as hyped for a remake
I'm not familiar with the DQ games either but the 90s anime is such an important part of our childhood

Also, not just arabs and latinos, the japanese audience sounds just as hyped

An Arab fan here and i grew up watching Dai with the Arabic Dub and my generation loved it sooo much especially the Op it was hyped and on fire even tho we never saw the end of the story sadly but with this remake it's a new experience to me since i'll be watching it with the sub this time and i hope they will cover the story all the way to the end.
can't express enough how much i'm hyped for this remake, and i'm sure the Arab fans they share the same feelings i have atm especially those of my generation.

you remember wrong it seems xD
the story wasn't even finished at the time they stopped

in fact, I remember they stopped at a very bizarre point of the story and at as such a cliffhanger that it made absolutely 0 sense to call it an end for anything
It was like ending Naruto at the beginning of the ninja war, I think I read somewhere there were maybe some production issues that pushed them to cancel the show without prior planning?

So, this is a remake. That’s great. If it works for the Hunter x Hunter remake in 2011. Then I’m sure it’ll work for this remake or Dragon Quest: Dai no Daiboken. It was released in the Fall of 1991. So it’ll be 29 years next year.

based on the sword in the trailer, i am 100% positive it will be a full length manga adaptation! because it used a mix of 3d and 2d animation...and its TOEI

rest asured the 3d will be nice like precure series

it is after all a manga adaptation, so dont worry... 100 episodes is possible

I'm so much hyped for this! I grew up with the Arabic sub and was one of my most favorite shows as a kid. Remember spending so much time after every episode trying to imitate Dai's way of holding the sword while launching an attack. It was a very unique stance that gave me goosebumps.

Now that I got the chance last year to play the last Dragon Quest game, Dqxi thanks to it coming to PC, I feel my love for the series have been reignited in the perfect time. I have never played a Dragon Quest game prior to Dqxi and my only experience with the series was the Arabic sub of the anime (which was magnificent BTW). Now I'm making a run through Dqviii and my love for the series is growing even further. I can go on to say Dqxi is one of the best games in the current generation for me, and I'm an experienced gamer who play the majority of big games every year.

This anime has come in the perfrect time for me. Can't wait to remember the story and see it again but this time till the full ending.

Well, in Latin America this anime was "the anime" before Dragon ball, sharing popularity with Saint Seiya in Mexico and the lucky ones in other country with that channel signal, so here are many old fans, i don´t know if in usa was so popular too but if was aired by the same era is not a surprise in the internet community don´t talk much about this, i knew was aired around 2001 in catalan (cataluña) were is also very popular because was for a while the only source of anime in my tv signal xD.

I think this new adaptation gonna make popular this history, for me is the one of the best notices in anime ever.

I'm sooo hyped for this. As an arab the original anime was a huge part of my childhood, I was so excited when I saw that it was getting a remake. I also used to mimick Dai's attack and the way he held the sword with a stick lol. Im so hyped to experience it this time with the fandom, and I hope it will be good.

The hype is real. The nostalgia is real. I have lots of fond memories of this show as a child. I read the manga recently and I have that the whole thing seemed to childish to me now. But nevermind, definitely watching this.

Personally, I wouldn't be too hyped for this. As a Dragon Quest story, it probably has the most notable, frequent character developments in the series (arguably more than any other DQ games I played like V, VIII, XI), but it sticks to familiar shonen tropes and familiar character archetypes so closely throughout the story that I felt like I was going through the motions. I tried giving the manga a chance and managed to only go slightly more than halfway through, and at some point, I just gave up and concluded that the story wasn't gonna change to an interesting direction. You're gonna get an extremely basic shonen story, unless Toei decides to change things and make creative liberties, which I doubt will happen.

The new PV looks nice but doesn't give old school feels still makes it more standout I guess. Compare to newer shounen, the story indeed feels now pretty basic for most of the parts tbh so consistently good worldbuilding and characterization will be the key and imo adaptating whole 37 volume within around 52 episodes should be done by cuttting some arcs.
