Stephanie Nadolny returns as Dragon Ball Daima English dub trailer drops

As the recently announced theatrical dubbed screenings for the first 3 episodes of Dragon Ball Daima in the US approach, a trailer has just been released to give fans a sample of what they can expect.

Geekdom101 teased fans on Twitter, the rumours caught on quickly amongst the fandom, but it is now official.

Stephanie Nadolny, the voice of kid Goku in Funimation’s inhouse dub of the original Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT as well as the movies Sleeping Princess in Devil’s Castle and Mystical Adventure will be reprising her role as the character for the first time in 15 years.

The trailer has been shared by IGN:

Dragon Ball Daima will receive its English language premier in the United States on November 10th for a 3-day theatrical run, courtesy of Fathom Events and Crunchyroll.

Expect further releases of Daima with the English dub down the road on other platforms like Crunchyroll’s streaming service, home video, possibly TV and more.

Dragon Ball Daima is coming to Germany on ADN

Dragon Ball fans around the world do not have much longer to wait for the new series, indeed many will have the fortune of seeing it the exact same date as Japan thanks to Crunchyroll’s near global simulcast.

Strangely though, while Crunchyroll streams Dragon Ball in a number of European territories that was the one continent not included in this simulcast.

Nonetheless it does seem slowly but surely announcements are being made for Europe.

Earlier this week it was revealed that Dragon Ball Daima will be receiving a simulcast in France on the streaming service ADN.

Now ADN has announced they will be streaming Akira Toriyama’s final work in Germany.

This is great news for German fans, who had to wait 6 years and 2 years for Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Super to be licensed out to them. That means this will be the quickest they have ever received a new Dragon Ball anime series.

Coincidentally RTL II began rerunning original Dragon Ball between March and August of last year, but it was removed a month after the rerun concluded. It was a great chance for new fans to become accustomed to kid Goku.

Should there be any updates on other European territories we will of course report on them.

“Dragon Ball Daima Special Panel” announced for New York Comic Con 2024
In addition to the recently announced dubbed screenings there is more Dragon Ball Daima-related news for the United States.

Kanzenshuu user Neo-Makaiōshin has reported on a panel for New York City Comic Con, as announced by the official Dragon Ball site.

The panel will be held on the Empire Stage at the following times:
- October 17th (Thu), 12:45 pm–2:15 pm (UTC-5/EDT)
- October 18th (Fri), 1:45 am–3:15 am (JST)
Voice actor Monica Rial and owner of Capsule Corp Tokyo Akio Iyoku are to be in attendance, and news on cards, games and behind-the-scenes stories of Dragon Ball Daima are promised.

And, as was the case with the Tokyo Big Sight there will be a screening at the event for the first episode of Dragon Ball Daima, although unlike the theatrical screenings it is not known if it will be dubbed or subbed.

A number of giveaways will also be available, and any guests attending the panel will receive a Dragon Ball Daima T-shirt and a special card from the “Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World”.

Part of the panel will also be scheduled for a livestream.

Dragon Ball Daima confirmed for France on ADN streaming service

French fans will not have much longer to wait, in fact it has just been announced they will be getting Dragon Ball Daima on the same day it premiers on Fuji TV in Japan – October 11th.

Kanzenshuu user Javaki noted that ADN also offers Dragon Ball Super with German subtitles, so while a German release is yet-to-be-announced it is possible this could also cover that market.

While Dragon Ball Super was simulcast for some European territories back in 2016 when it was being rolled out internationally, France was not one of them, despite TOEI Animation having operations in Paris.

As of last year all the Dragon Ball TV series from the original up to and including Super were available on ADN, so the platform has quickly established itself as the home for Dragon Ball in France.

While Dragon Ball has had a long history in France, this will be the fastest any of the series has been released, a sign of times changing for the better.

Crunchyroll recently began streaming the entire series in France, but it is always good to see releases come to competing streaming services.

New Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Z Blu-Ray boxsets confirmed for the UK and Ireland

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.

Dragon Ball Daima US screenings will feature the first 3 episodes and a special introduction by Masako Nozawa

The number of episodes for the recently announced theatrical screenings of Dragon Ball Daima has been revealed, in addition to another surprise.

While it was previously unclear how many episodes of Daima would be screened, it is now known – it will be the first 3 episodes of the series.

Moreover, Masako Nozawa, the legendary Japanese voice actor who has played Goku and the rest of the Son family in every iteration of the series since 1986 will give a special introduction.

Naturally, because these screenings will be dubbed there has been confusion amongst fans, as no subbed screenings have been announced, despite the fact they would serve the same audience who would want to hear comments from a Japanese voice actor.

This is not the first time a new Dragon Ball series has been legally licensed for the US with mixed messaging about who it was intended for, as the 2016 Dragon Ball Super simulcast strangely featured dub terminology despite being subbed streams.

While a move towards standardizing spellings and terms has been noted, an introduction from a voice actor who will not be heard in the product on-screen is an even more curious move.

Whether or not there will be subbed screenings remains to be seen, it would certainly make a lot more sense if this message was simply intended for all screenings and theatres have leaked the information about dubbed screenings first to generate more interest in buying tickets, as Dragon Ball’s English dubs remain popular.

Dragon Ball Daima US theatrical dubbed screenings announced

Recently theatrical listings have been spotted for the upcoming TV anime Dragon Ball Daima, suggesting the first 2 or 3 episodes will be coming to the United States on November 10, 2024.

Additionally listings spotted at Minnesota-based St Michael Cinema those screenings will be dubbed.

These screenings are the first known release date for the English dub of Dragon Ball Daima, and the first time since the 2018 theatrical release of Bardock : The Father of Goku the TV anime has been shown in US theatres.

Indeed this will be the first time any of the episodes of the series have been screened at US cinemas since Bardock : The Father of Goku is a TV special that is not part of the 291-episode anime (Dragon Ball Z) it aired with on Fuji TV. The special has been mismarketed as a movie, but it is effectively a special extended episode of the series.

As the first 4 episodes of Dragon Ball Kai were recently shown theatrically in Spain and 2 episodes of Dragon Ball Super got screenings in Portugal a precedent has been set.

Nonetheless the Dragon Ball Daima screenings are the first of its kind for the US, which has never had any of the standard TV episodes shown in theatres.

It certainly demonstrates confidence. Expect an Akira Toriyama memorial, as Dragon Ball Daima is his last known work.

Should there be any international screenings we will be sure to report on them.

In its native Japan, Dragon Ball Daima will premier October 11th at 11:40pm as part of a new anime block on Fuji TV.

Dragon Ball Kai artificial humans and original Dragon Ball 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arcs coming to Anime Box in Spain

As of writing this article episode 56 of Dragon Ball Kai has been uploaded to Selecta Vision’s streaming platform in Spain known as Anime Box.

With a new episode released every weekday, tomorrow will see the release of episode 57 (titled Welcome Back Son Goku! The Confession of the Mysterious Young Boy Trunks) with the new Castilian Spanish dub.

Additionally the VOD platform has more catalogue content with further episodes of original Dragon Ball being released every Friday. Today’s update was a reminder for viewers the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai will be released in 4 days.

This Friday 20/09 we will see the 21st Martial Arts Tournament, don’t miss it! 🤖”

Dragon Ball Z : Battle of Gods finally coming to India on Cartoon Network

Toons Anime India has just shared a promo from Cartoon Network India, which confirms that in less than a month, the first Dragon Ball movie of the revival era – Battle of Gods (or The Battle of Gods as it will seemingly be referred to natively) will be coming.

The last Dragon Ball movie to premier on the channel was Wrath of the Dragon, which premiered on September 3rd last year and was rerun two weeks later.

The channel has however broadcast additional features (albeit not movies) with the recent airings of Bardock : The Father of Goku and History of Trunks.

As was the case with the TV specials Battle of Gods will be marketed as a “blockbuster” to generate hype.

The channel is currently airing original Dragon Ball at 2pm on Sundays. Episodes 13-18 aired yesterday and episodes 19-24 are set to air this week just after the premier of History of Trunks.

As is now standard with all Dragon Ball content aired on Cartoon Network India, Battle of Gods will receive five dubs in different languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Uttam Pal Singh, the head of the kids cluster in South Asia for Warner Brothers Discovery (the owner of Cartoon Network India) said he wishes for the channel to be the place for the movies of the season, so it is possible after Battle of Gods the channel will dub the other revival era movies Resurrection ‘F’, Broly and Super Hero.

In any case watch this space for further updates on all things Dragon Ball in India and elsewhere.
