Dragon Ball Magic, the highly anticipated web anime, has caused a stir among fans ever since rumors of its production surfaced online. The Dragon Ball Exhibit at New York Comic Con 2023, scheduled for October 2023, was expected to be the platform for announcing a new anime series. Fans had been eagerly hoping for the continuation of the Dragon Ball Super series.
While there hasn't been any official confirmation yet, the leaked information appears to hold weight. According to the leaks, Dragon Ball Magic is slated for release in the first half of 2024. The series is set to have ten to fifteen episodes, helmed by renowned directors, and boasting top-notch visuals. However, it should be noted that this web anime will exclusively stream on Crunchyroll.
Dragon Ball Magic, the highly anticipated new series, has stirred up a storm of disappointment among fans. The leaks suggest that Goku and Supreme Kai will be center stage, leading to an outpouring of frustration on various social media platforms.

The Dragon Ball Magic series has faced intense criticism from the anime community, who have eagerly anticipated a new season after the conclusion of the epic Universal Tournament Saga in 2018. In the interim, fans had only the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film, which gained global acclaim and demonstrated the immense love and support for a compelling Dragon Ball narrative.
Facing criticism for its repetitive approach, centered around Goku and Vegeta constantly attaining new power-ups to rescue the world, the manga also garnered praise when it redirected its focus to the exploits of Trunks and Goten. Fans were eagerly anticipating confirmation, at the Dragon Ball Exhibit during New York Comic Con 2023, that the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and other manga material would be adapted into anime. Consequently, the announcement of Dragon Ball Magic left numerous enthusiasts feeling let down.
Fans' reaction to this web anime may have been more positive if the premise had been altered. According to leaks, the upcoming series will revolve around Goku and Shin, who are transformed into children by a villain. This storyline bears a striking resemblance to Dragon Ball GT, where Goku was also reverted to a child by Emperor Pilaf and Ultimate Shenron.
Unless the storytelling and production are top-notch, Dragon Ball Magic appears to be heading towards a similar outcome. Currently, platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are overflowing with fans who are voicing their discontentment with the mere concept of this new series.

Fans' outrage is justified when it comes to Dragon Ball Magic, as they have been eagerly anticipating a new anime series that incorporates the recent advancements in the manga. However, discovering that the franchise not only disregards the anime but also embraces a format that has previously proven unsuccessful can lead fans to lose their trust.
Regardless, numerous fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the new web anime. However, it would be premature to completely disregard the series, as it has the potential to pleasantly surprise and captivate audiences.
