Fans has been speculating that Super might take a different approach the way they tell the story and there's a chance that it might not be similar like they did on previous series.

1. With the huge success of Broly movie, some fans think that Toei and Tori are planning to continue the series by releasing an arc by movie method. This way it will save them a lot of money with a huge pay off and wouldn't not have to repeat the same mistake they did when they rushed the series immediately after the release of RoF which caused a lot of bad animation and retelling the previous movies. So maybe we might get a Moro movie soon?

2. Seasonal Arc: Another speculation is that Toei are waiting for Toyotaro to complete the Moro arc so they can adapt it on anime. This way they don't have to come up a different way to tell the story can just follow the manga scene to scene with an extra filler to fill up the episodes like they did on the original series.

Thoughts?

I doubt Toei will make Super seasonal or into movies. They are businessman first and animators of integrity second, with the best strategy for merchandising for them having always been to milk an ongoing work as much as possible, which would be hindered by a change to the weekly episode formula. Things will likely return to the status-quo once the Moro Arc concludes, given this is entirely Toyotaro's work rather than being something Toriyama can give notes to the animators for.

I definitely don't think they'd continue the movie format for future arcs, especially the Moro Arc which could never fit into the typical 2 hour runtime without becoming a heavily abridged version of the original manga. Despite some improvements to visuals and animation, FnF and DBS Broly's plots were so rushed through being condensed down to fit the screentime that continuing this trend would be a big mistake. Condensed movies for a story arc tend to just amount to rushed cashgrabs, the only real exceptions being 1995 Ghost in the Shell and the Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy; the former of which was an alternate take on the manga's concepts and the latter still needed 3 movies to tell its story arc, so movies as a way to continue the franchise is definitely a bad move.

If DB comes back Broly gets a saga (which I'm all for bc I didn't watch the movie) and they further degrade the series with poor comedy and inconsistencies. Unless a reboot happens I have no hope for DB.
