The anime of “dragonball” is one of the most famous in history, although it is true that I have the feeling that the classic story, that of the origin of the relationship of Goku, Bulma and the Dragon Balls, is the one that has gradually been lost over time. Personally, it’s also the one I’ve had the least contact with, but still, this one has some moments that every fan of the franchise should experience. For that, Chikashi Kubota has expressed interest in doing a remake.
Is a remake of the classic Dragon Ball anime possible? Chikashi Kubota seems to think so.
Then I leave you with what the person who commented the animation director of “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”one that, oddly enough, specifically left us with the spectacular 2D intro sequence in which many Boy Goku vs. RR Army moments were seen (via DBSCronicles):
- It was Chikashi Kubota who, in an interview at Japan Expo Sud 2023, confirmed that is interested in working on a remake of the classic Dragon Ball anime if from Toei Animation, they make the decision at some point.
- Kubota-san himself has already talked about it with Norihiro Hayashida, one of the producers of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. That is to say, it is a real idea and desire, not a vaguely formulated comment during an interview.
- Chikashi Kubota also revealed that agreed to work on Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero provided there is at least one complete 2D sequence. Indeed, that ended up being the intro to the movie, so I think it’s safe to say that if the Dragon Ball remake is done with Chikashi Kubota, it MOST likely will be in 2D, not CGI.
This is something many “Dragon Ball” fans have been commenting on for a long time, but I personally wrote an article in early 2022 where I explained why I thought a remake of “the old” anime would end by arriving. . In the end, the reality is this: It’s an old anime that has already been excessively trapped in another era. I even saw people asking if it was hot! With the IP’s 40th anniversary coming up in 2024, it really is a great opportunity to bring back an anime that has many magical moments..
