  • Latin American dub of Dragon Ball Daima coming

    Latin American fans waiting for a local dub of Dragon Ball Daima may not have much longer to wait.

    A Paraguayan Youtuber has broke the news and Richard Brust revealed in a podcast that a dub is coming.

    News about a release date has yet to be confirmed, although Adult Swim Latin America has teased that the series may be coming so don’t be surprised if that’s where the series will drop.

    With Warner Channel’s Wanimé block coming to an end its looking like Adult Swim is going to become the home for Dragon Ball on traditional TV in Latin America, just as it has in North America for the last 10 years.

  • Warner Channel’s block Wanimé to cease airing from January 1, 2025 with their final broadcast of Dragon Ball Z

    It has been reported that from January 1, 2025 with one final airing of Dragon Ball Z episodes 197 and 198 Warner Channel’s block Wanimé will close down.

    This comes 8 months after the block was removed in Brazil, but now it appears the remainder of Latin America will follow.

    Various reasons have been cited for the clock’s closure, such as Warner Channel’s parent company WBD already having a definitive home for broadcasting anime with Adult Swim and the third party anime catalog on HBO Max not expanding much this year.

    Wanimé, which began on April 11, 2022 replaced the Toonami Powered by Crunchyroll block on the regional Cartoon Network, and has aired not just Dragon Ball Z and its films, but also Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Super.

    It is not known when the new TV anime Dragon Ball Daima will begin broadcasting in Latin America, although Adult Swim has teased it recently, so it may be coming soon.
