 The Dragon Ball special panel at the New York Comic Con announced a new anime titled Dragon Ball Daima on Thursday, slated for a Fall 2024 debut. Toei Animation also posted a teaser trailer. Original creator Akira Toriyama is credited for the original work, story, and character design. Commemorating the original manga's 40th anniversary, Dragon Ball Daima is the first new anime series in six years since Dragon Ball Super ended in 2018. Following the announcement, a comment from Toriyama appeared on screen: "'Daima' is a made-up term... in English it would be something like 'Evil.' Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are turned small. In order to fix things, they'll head off to a new world! It's a grand adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious new world. Since Goku has to make up for his petite size, he uses his Nyoibo (Power Pole) to fight, something not seen in a long time. I came up with the story and settings, as well as a lot of the designs. I'm actually putting a lot more into this than usual. Things will unfold that close in on the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world. Hope you all enjoy these different-from-usual battles that are cute and powerful!" Dragon Ball Super aired in 131 episodes from Summer 2015 to Spring 2018. The Dragon Ball Super: Broly, premiered in Japan in December 2018. The Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero sequel movie opened in theaters in June 2022, grossing over 2.51 billion yen (approximately US$92.1 million) worldwide. Toriyama and Toyotarou began serializing the Dragon Ball Super manga in V-Jump magazine in June 2015. Shueisha shipped the 21st volume on August 4. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in North America and published the 19th volume on September 5.

| The more Dragon Ball anime the better, so I'm looking forward to this one. I just wish Dragon Ball Super would come back. |
 |
| yep hype for this one should be good its the same team that did Dragon Quest Dai they say and more info here https://twitter.com/AnimeAjay/status/1712534170126397629 |
| The trailer looks really good! I love the animation and art style. I feel it'd be a mix of well done action, known from DBZ, mixed with adventure and lighthearted comedy, known from the original DB series. Something like DBGT once was intended to be (sort of), just in DBS environment. Anyway, I'm excited about it. The fact that Toriyama-sensei is actively working on it is an another cool thing. |
| saw the trailer at work... damn, if thats 3dcgi, thats almost indistinguishable from 2d |
 |
| it's GT all over again, toei ran outta ideas |
    |
| Toriyama written GT is something I had been expecting for years now so I'm not really shocked, I'll watch it because he gives me hope it can at least be decent. |
| i want DBS to come back but this is still pretty exciting, can't wait for this GT version by Toriyama |
| I think this just serves as further proof that the DB franchise has run out of fresh ideas long, long ago... DB Evolution truly was such a blight upon the world that, to this day, we're still seeing the consequences of it having forced Toriyama out of retirement. |
| Has the chibi spin-off trend gone that far? |
 |
| Embarrassing. lol |
| If not for DBSuper continuing, I would have far preferred a focus on the supporting characters. Even if the Z gang going on some kind of new adventure in child form sounds decent, I'm disappointed. It's weird, and I don't care too much about it. DB is best when it's more serious and less comedic. DBS could have been far better if it was a little darker, or rather serious and less meaningless to no comic relief. |
| Dragon Ball GT 2.0? |
 |
| So this is essentially a new spun on GT but without the second half of the anime which had the cool character designs, SSJ4 and great villains. Ehh.... Also Trunks and Goten have been turned back into babies. We will never see an adult Goten canonically lol. |
| It looks pretty cool, we haven't seen young Goku in ages and original DB with him and Bulma on the adventures is peak. So really looking forward to this. |
 |
| I was hoping we'd get super back, but something's better than nothing. The trailer looks pretty good too. |
 |
| A sequel or spinoff that nobody asked for. Atleast the trailer animation and art was better than DBS abomination. |
 |
| A new anime from the Dragon Ball franchise again?! |
| Still no entry in the anime database on MAL? 😔 |
| Huh? What's this about? Spin off? |
 |

Huh? What's this about? Spin off?
| @MegamiRem It's canon & supposedly set between when Buu is defeated and when Beerus arrived - so around the same time as the Tarble special. |
| I know we want more Super, but this looks pretty fun, and the animation is very promising. I'm in. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| So it’s just muppet babies? Put Dragon ball out of its misery already. |
| The answer to 1984 is 1776 |
They're still not getting serious. |

| Why can we just let it die. Dragon Ball is done. |
 |
| Cant wait for more hair color change "transformations". /s Also, cant blame Toriyama 4 (apparently) droppping Super. Toyotaro/Toyble manga reads like a fanfic (even more than Super 80% of it's time). Come, GT 2.0: Eletric Boogaloo but Cannon. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
