Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero receiving a Hall H panel is a major statement by Crunchyroll and Toei Animation. It shows that both companies have both a lot of faith and big expectations for the film. It’s due to receive a major, theatrical-wide release in August, and they are definitely putting some marketing muscle behind it.
