Essential Dragonball Super? New series set after Majin Buu saga
- Thread starter Alcantara
- Start date
It's much much much more lucrative to make a show targeted at children. The money in anime is the merch. They can make infinite plushies, blankets, sippie cups , backpacks and toys based on the kid Goku project.
They'd be crazy if the banked on stingy 30 and 40yr olds for revenue. The sweet spot for money making is the Pokemon demographic

Cautiously optimistic. Been in this thread for years and I have to admit this was a bit of a let down

This new series looks like some bullshyt that no one fukking asked for but is DBS continuing or not? Is this new series just a one-off show, or is it a continuation of Super? As long as we can get Morro and Granolah I'll suffer through this nonsense, but I'll be disappointed af if this is Dragon Ball's new direction 
Exactly. It's about making money.
That's the problem
That nikka finna be dead in 10 years and he thinking about money, instead of sustaining the legacy and prestige of his brand..
DBZ didn't take off because it was catered to kids, it took off because it opened kids eyes to a much more sophisticated action cartoon than what they were accustomed to.
He had other opportunities to capture the pokemon demographic, but they failed. No need to carry that over here. nikkas in the US ain't rockin wit dr slump and shyt like that
Long story short, if I want DBS, I need to buy the manga. I have thought about doing it and its been 6 or so years since Vegeta and Goku squared off on a water source to end it. Life is too short to be waiting for every goddamn thing.
-Still waiting for Half-Life 3
- Waited 14 years for Duke Nukem Forever
-Waited 5 years from Guild Wars: Eye of the North for Guild Wars 2 which was bushed after 30 or so hours
Enough. Clearly DBS wasn't spurring us into the renaissance many of us hoped for.

This is clearly what they are doing. I don't know why people don't understand they are not going to leave that children demo hanging. The Merchandising alone from this show will be crazy (Toys, trading cards, clothing etc). As you said, Pokemon is still printing money and it dropped around "GT". As someone who watched the show since the 1980's. It was targeted to children from beginning. "Z" had a more teen feel to it but even that was still targeted towards the youth. "GT" clearly had amore kid feel to it.
The issue is now we are grown a$$ Dragon Ball Fans, lol. So for some seeing Goku as a Kid again feels like a let down. It's not for me though because I'm an OG DB Fan. Kid Goku is the original. For a Franchise to continue to grow, you must be able to attract different generations. But yes, this show is targeted towards the youth. It's basically a mixture of OG DB and GT. Also they always "KId Size" Characters in franchises. Muppet Babies, Flintstone Kids, Tom & Jerry Kids, A Pup named Scooby Doo etc, you get the picture. The Trailer did bring me back to this:

LOL @ Kid Master Roshi. I like the design. There's clearly going to be some jokes and humor in this with them being Kids again. I wonder does this mean they won't have the same powers. Will Goku and Vegeta have to learn to turn again for the first time.
Krillin looking nice!
