What if the Dragon Ball anime took the Sailor Moon and FMA (2003) route by deviating from the original story?

[DBZAOTA482]

The anime adaptations I mentioned earlier are vastly different from their manga source material in terms of storytelling, characterization, and certain themes but the former is regarded as a classic in a similar regard to Dragon Ball (and it's also made by Toei Animation) and the latter is one of the most acclaimed anime in recent memory. Dragon Ball is different as the anime kept faithful to it's source material but at a cost.

In order to keep the manga ahead it had to stretch roughly 1 14-paged (at average) chapter out to a whole episode making marathoning the series rather taxing. Z is notably drawn out to the point where it became infamous for how extreme the padding would got. This is honestly something GT benefitted from because it had no source material to wait on (it is the source material) and thus suffered none of these pacing issues.

However, what would happen if Toei went a different direction with the story altogether instead of doing what they did like mentioned above? Would the anime be even more loved or would it fail like GT?

Fail like GT, I assume. Toei has almost no compotent, or at-least writer compatible with the DragonBall series. They might be good with other series, but most of their writers have shown they can't write a decent DragonBall Z or whatever story to save their lives.

We must remember that Goku Black was a creation of Toei.

It wasn't. AT was involved in the making of that arc.

Garlic Jr. is a Toei creation though and you know how many people love that arc.

Akira Toriyama was so vague with Goku Black that the anime and manga both have two completely different characters. The Goku Black that we got was essentially a product of Toei.

No, they aren't. Zamasu is more of the character anyway and he isn't that different in either one.

Note: I haven't read the recent chapters of DragonBall Super, so maybe I'm talking non-sense for all I know.

I'm too lazy to argue, can you watch the video?

Toei are good in terms of developing a character and really improved their filler stuffs that felt that we can make it canon as well. But DB will suffer without the GOAT Toriyama and his successor Toyotaro.
