Yesterday (June 19th) LostTimeLord reported on the Kanzenshuu forums that the episodes of Dragon Ball Kai previously omitted from Disney+ in the UK have been added to the platform.
The two Dragon Ball Super movies, titled Broly and Super Hero were also added on the same day.
The Dragon Ball Super TV series was also added to Disney+ soon after Kai, so there is a lot of Dragon Ball content on the service for fans to enjoy.
It has been announced that Tatsuya Nagamine, the director of the first Dragon Ball Super movie Broly as well as Dragon Ball Super episodes 77-131 has passed away at the age of 53.
Nagamine’s family revealed that he died on August 20th and described him as “kind, warm, and caring, and was the best father and husband in the world”.
Nagamine worked on not just other TOEI anime like One Piece, Digimon and Precure, but also the short film Dr. Slump: Dr. Mashirito Abale-chan adapted from a one-shot by Akira Toriyama in 2007.
Dragon Ball Super Broly has received at least 19 dubs worldwide and was released in at least 111 countries, making it the second most widely released Dragon Ball movie only behind the most recent movie Super Hero.
Over a month ago a listing was spotted on Crunchyroll’s site for a new Dragon Ball Super Broly Blu-Ray steelbook to be released in North America.
Now listings have been spotted on Amazon UK, Anime-On-Line and Rarewaves for what appears to be a regional repackaging of this release.
Crunchyroll in the UK was formerly known as Funimation, and Manga UK before that. The latter released a steelbook for this movie back in 2019.
It remains to be seen whether this release will contain the US Funimation disc or the Manga UK disc, which doesn’t have the green tint, although considering the fact the Dragon Ball Z Complete Series set last year used the US discs rather than the UK ones that seems to be becoming the new precedent for these releases.
A listing for a Dragon Ball Super : Broly Blu-Ray steelbook has appeared on Crunchyroll’s store.
This new edition of the movie is set to be released on November 4th of this year, and is available for the pre-order price of $31.98.
This is not the first time the movie has had a steelbook release, as Manga UK previously released such a variant for region B.
This will be the first steelbook release of the movie in North America.
It is however likely that this will be a repackage of the North American Blu-Ray, as such the green tint (which Funimation denied being there) that was absent from the UK release will remain present.
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.
