As the name suggests, the Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The film has a goal of telling "a large-scale story." Aside from story composition and character design, Toriyama is also writing lines of dialogue for the film.
Jae Hoon Jung is the CG director.
Guest cast include:
- Hiroshi Kamiya as Gamma #1
- Mamoru Miyano as Gamma #2
- Miyu Irino as Dr. Hedo
- Volcano Ōta as Magenta
- Ryōta Takeuchi as Carmine
The staff has previously revealed new character designs for Dende, Korin, and Bulma, and teased that Whis will appear in the film.
The film will be the 21st anime film in the overall Dragon Ball franchise.
Toei Animation announced on March 11 that on March 6, an unauthorized third party accessed the company's network, which resulted in a shutdown of part of the company's systems. Toei Animation is currently investigating the matter. The hack affected the broadcast schedules for the airing new episodes during the April 16-17 weekend.
hack was a ransomware attack. NHK quoted a company source as saying, "the impact on production is still continuing, and we are working hard to bring things back to normal."
