Netflix Japan has announced the recent Dragon Ball Super movies Broly and Super Hero will be dropping on September 15th and assured viewers more movies were coming.
Netflix added the entirety of original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z to their service for Japanese fans in December 2016, with the increased availability of both series leading to the media recommending them as a way for viewers to learn the language.
In the UK and Ireland the 2013 and 2015 movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F‘ were added the following year and two years after that the smash hit Broly and Netflix said at one point they were working on adding them in France along with One Piece.
The TV anime have not been brought to any other territories as far as we’re aware, but at one point it seemed as if they would be coming to the Netherlands as the first 3 seasons of Dragon Ball Z were rated by the native classification system Kijkwijzer (the local equivalent to the UK’s BBFC), along with the aforementioned Resurrection F and Battle of Gods soon after. That said, to this date no Dutch fans have reported on any Dragon Ball content being available to stream in their country.
With these additions to Netflix Japan, every Dragon Ball movie to date will have been on the service. The original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z movies were added when TOEI began to distribute their HD remaster.
As Netflix’s tweet suggests more Dragon Ball movies will be coming, it appears they left the platform in Japan but will be returning at some point.
