What's Next for Dragon Ball?
Dragon Ball's next major anime project is Dragon Ball Daima, which is currently scheduled for a release later this Fall. The new anime but has yet to confirm a concrete release date as of the time of this writing, however. It will feature a brand new story not seen in the manga or anime before. Original creator Akira Toriyama will be providing the original story's concept and character designs with Yoshitaka Yashima and Aya Komaki directing the series for Toei Animation, Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru adapting Toriyama's designs for animation, and Yuuko Kakihara supervising and writing the scripts.
The story is still very much a mystery, but Toriyama teases what to expect from Dragon Ball Daima as such, "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 world. Since Goku has to make up for his petite size, he uses his Power Pole to fight, something not seen in a long time."
