According to Tokyo-based Weekly Toyo Keizai, a Japanese finance and business magazine, the rights to who owns Dragon Ball are somewhat murky at the moment, following the untimely demise of franchise creator Akira Toriyama.
The conflict is centered around Akio Iyoki, the former head of Shuiesha (Dragon Ball's publisher) Dragon Ball Room- which was a group Shuiesha formed in 2016 to make decisions regarding all-things Dragon Ball.
However, Iyoki recently decided to go independent and established a new company, called Capsule Corporation, obviously taking inspiration from the company owned by Bulma and Dr. Brief in the Dragon Ball franchise.
According to the report, Shuiesha was unhappy with some of the actions that Iyoki made during his tenure as head of the Dragon Ball Room- specifically, that Iyoki frequently made decisions based on Toriyama's wishes, not necessarily what the top executives at Shuiesha wanted.
This ultimately led to Iyoki being reassigned to another department,...

The Dragon Ball franchise is divided into multiple series. Dragon Ball was the first, while Dragon Ball Daima is the upcoming one. Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus is considered to be the Godfather of the Big Three of anime. But there are moments when fans were unsatisfied with the franchise. One such instance was with Dragon Ball Gt. On top of that, it was not done by the late Akira Toriyama.
Dragon Ball Gt has a weird plot, and the fans often complain about it. Late Toriyama sensei sent a heartfelt message to the anime’s fans, but the ending left them bamboozled. Even after almost three decades of its release, no one seems to have found the reason behind it. The anime remains the only one not to live up to the expectations.

The festival opens with Mladen Kovačević’s “Another Spring,” about the 1972 smallpox epidemic in Yugoslavia, and will close with a film about Serbian rapper Dalibor Andonov Gru, “Gru Is Here.”

Captain Ryan gets ready to rise to a crappy occasion as Avenue 5 plunges new battles in episode 4.

This Avenue 5 review contains spoilers.
Avenue 5 Episode 4
In the opening montage of Avenue 5, episode 4, " Wait a Minute, Then Who Was That on the Ladder?," we see astronaut Spike Martin (Ethan Phillips), kibitzing on the bridge. He's trying to look at the dials and sensor readers which the crew are expertly fingering, especially the hand model who was born for the job. Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) is doing his best to keep the astronaut away for the faux equipment because he's the only one on board who might be able to actually read what they say.
The irony is this skill could find a solution to clean up the captain's mess, except the astronaut is also ill-equipped to do it. Spike Martin was the first Canadian to land on Mars.
