Osamu Nozaki, a producer from Fuji TV shared these comments about the upcoming series:
“Having loved Dragon Ball since childhood, it is very exciting to be a part of this project. Mr. Toriyama has developed a plot that’s not only a dream come true for Dragon Ball’s millions of fans, but one that will foster in a new generation of viewers.”
Mitsuaki Kido, whose career at Toei Animation started around the time the company was animating Dragon Ball Z‘s Frieza saga, will serve as the animation producer on this new series.
