  • 20 years ago today Dragon Ball Z returned to Finland for the last time

    September 18th was the day that SubTV announced the final batch of Dragon Ball Z episodes (the first three were episodes 1-57, 58-100 and 101-123) back in 2005.

    This was exciting news for fans at the time as the channel had stopped airing any episodes of the show, including reruns since Christmas eve the year before.

    With the exception of Battle of Gods earlier this year this was the last time any piece of content with the “Dragon Ball Z” branding was released in Finland, and when it comes to the TV series it was the last time to date.

    Indeed when we asked on Reddit if any fans would like to see Dragon Ball Z return to Finland one expressed doubt that there would be any excitement for such happening, while another user wished for recordings of the show on SubTV to turn up.

    While the aforementioned press release is no longer on SubTV (now MTVSub)’s website fans luckily quoted it on a local forum:

    The above can be translated as:

    “DRAGONBALL Z RETURNS TO SUB!

    The super-popular anime series Dragonball Z continues on Subtv on Sun 18.9.PRESS

    RELEASE 31.8.05

    Subtv will make the wish of anime fans come true in September! The Japanese anime series Dragonball Z continues on Subtv on Sunday 18 September at 10:00. The series is always seen on Sundays at the same time.

    Subtv has acquired 168 new episodes for the series. The episodes are spoken in English and subtitled in Finnish. Dragonball Z went on hiatus on Sub last Christmas Eve and the series now continues straight from there: it’s time for season 4 episode 124 (Unwelcome Discovery). The central role of Dragonball Z is played by Goku, who fights against the evil forces of space with his friends. What will Bulma, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin and co. come up with to tame the androids while Goku is still in bad shape?”

  • Season 2 of Dragon Ball Super Danish dub finally available on DRTV

    New episodes of the Dragon Ball Super Danish dub are now available on the DRTV app.

    While this may be exciting news to fans it appears that despite the previous announcement of 49 new episodes only the first 3 episodes of the Universe 6 arc can be streamed now.

    Further episodes are scheduled to be released on April 18th, but it is not known how many episodes will drop on this date.

    This is the first time a Danish dub has been released since the rebroadcast of Dragon Ball Z in 2011.

  • DR negotiating for further episodes of Dragon Ball Super in Denmark

    The admin of the Dragon Ball – DK Facebook group has reported Danmarks Radio (DR) is negotiating for more episodes of Dragon Ball Super.

    Dragon Ball Super was initially announced as being licensed by DR following the death of series creator Akira Toriyama.

    The first 27 episodes made their debut on the DR Ultra streaming app last October with the new Danish dub.

    DR Ultra aired a rerun of Dragon Ball Z over a decade prior when they were a linear channel, which was also shown in Danish.

    As such the premier of this dub of Dragon Ball Super marks a generational shift in how content is consumed since Dragon Ball Z initially aired in Denmark before the big streaming boom we are currently living in.

    If Dragon Ball Super completes it’s run it should be possible in theory more Dragon Ball content will be licensed for Danish dubbing in future.
