Dragon Ball Super excited fans with the announcement that the franchise is finally returning for a new anime adapting the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc from the original manga release. New Dragon Ball Super Anime Likely Going to Be Seasonal© BIRD STUDIO/SHUEISHA, TOEI ANIMATIONToei Animation really shook the anime world when they announced a huge change to One Piece’s anime schedule last year. That is likely the same pattern that the new Dragon Ball Super anime will follow with its own release. Rather than being another 100 plus episode kind of return, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol will likely only run for 26 episodes a year. A seasonal version of Dragon Ball Super is also the best case scenario for its future as well.
