On the topic of Toei's production. Toei operates on a revolving staff that floats in and out of projects. Certain directors and key animators pick the projects they want to do. You'll hear a lot of key animators that did dragonball stuff, and you'll find they are also very prominent on one piece both before and after super. The big names that come to mind are Naoki Tate, Naotoshi Shida, Ryo Onishi, Yuya Takahashi, and a few others. Those names are all still around and still jump in and out of productions. One piece cleaned up its act due to a top to bottom comprehensive rethinking of how they approach the shows production. In the past they kept it all to their own staff. But with Wano, they've begun taking in freelance talent from all over the world. Web gen animators post their stuff onto social media, and toei directorial staff will see it and hit them up. This has breathed life into the production. If one piece were to go onto a massive hiatus after wano to let super 2 run, it would result in some of the big dudes putting more work into dragonball but it wouldn't help if the scedule of production is still shit. That was supers main problem. The main problem that most newer toei productions don't have.
