Dragon Ball: Daima confirms release window with teaser trailer

Dragon Ball is set to get a brand new series called Dragon Ball: Daima, and we have a teaser trailer and release window to boot.

The new anime series was announced at New York Comic Con yesterday (October 12), with the teaser giving fans a glimpse at what to expect from a story "never before told" in the franchise.

The trailer first takes a look back at Dragon Ball over the last 40 years, before showing a montage of clips from Daima, including Goku and others de-aged into children.

The clip ends by confirming that the series will premiere in fall 2024, which will mark four decades of Dragon Ball.

Daima is also being drawn by original creator Akira Toriyama, with the legendary manga artist involved "beyond his usual capacity" (via IGN).

The show is the first major release in the franchise since Dragon Ball Super, which came to an end in 2018, and the 2022 movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

Speaking last year to Digital Spy, voice actors Christopher Sabat (Piccolo and Vegeta) and Kyle Hebert (Gohan) reflected on Dragon Ball's lasting impact.

"There's something about the generation of the people – they were literally the last generation of people that had to run home to watch anything," Sabat said. "Because right after that, the DVR came out, and after that, streaming media came out. People who watched Dragon Ball had to earn the right to watch that show.

"And in many ways, it was the Marvel movies before the Marvel movies existed. It was our Marvel."

Dragon Ball Daima is set to be released in fall 2024.
