On August 27th I became aware of this, as my sources at UK Anime News received emails from Crunchyroll.
Now it is official as UK retailer Anime-On-Line has announced Crunchyroll’s upcoming Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Z Blu-Ray boxsets will be making their way to Britain and Ireland.
These box sets had previously been announced for North America, but Dragon Ball fans in the British Isles will only have an extra month to wait, although unlike the US and Canada it will not be a Crunchyroll Store exclusive.
With a pre-order prices of £97.49 (Dragon Ball Super) and £127.49 (Dragon Ball Z) both box sets will be available from December 2nd.
The Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays noticeably share the cover art of Funimation’s 2013/2014 season sets, which were repackaged by Crunchyroll, but never came to the UK, and for a time were not going to be released, as advised by Ajay back when the company was known as Manga UK.
The 9 Dragon Ball Z “season” sets and 10 parts for Super will all come in two collectable boxes each displaying promotional art of Goku and friends and Shenron on the side.
Both collections are also available from Amazon UK and likely more retailers to follow.
