Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Anime Announced, Premieres October 11
The new series retells Goku and Beerus's first meeting and marks the franchise's first new anime installment in more than four years.
A new anime series, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, has been announced and is set to premiere on Sunday, October 11. The series returns to the first meeting of Goku and Beerus, the story originally depicted in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, according to Collider.
The announcement marks the franchise's first new anime installment in over four years. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will re-tell the events of that initial encounter rather than continue from where previous animated entries left off.
The story of Goku and Beerus's first meeting was told in 2013 in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. In 2015, Dragon Ball Super premiered and reworked the same Battle of Gods story into its first arc.
The Dragon Ball Super anime ran for 131 episodes. Franchise creator Akira Toriyama passed away, leading to a long hiatus for the series.
