20 years into the formats history and just in time for the 30th anniversary of the series it has just been announced that Dragon Ball GT will be receiving a Blu-Ray release.
This upcoming release will be in Spain from distributor Selecta Vision, who have released a lot of Dragon Ball content on home video in the country, including recent Blu-Rays of not just the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z but also Dragon Ball Kai and the movies.
No release date is yet known but Selecta Vision distributed posters at the Manga Barcelona 2025 event announcing this release.
These posters were leaked by a user named Vercery on forums and a fan contacted Selecta Vision to verify the information.
Furthermore a user named Bicho_86 supplied the image below, which went unnoticed by the Spanish fanbase for a few days following the announcement.
Suffice to say Selecta Vision did confirm the news, so soon Spanish fans can look forward to completing their classic anime trilogies on a HD format.
The Japanese version is reportedly not available on the platform, unsurprising since the only musical score available for that version is the Akihito Tokunaga score.
Whether the series was removed for work to be done on this HD upscale remains to be seen.
Other Dragon Ball series available on Hulu include Dragon Ball Kai, Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT are no longer available.
Dragon Ball Super’s 6-year run on UK TV should be coming to an end soon, as it has been announced Narrative Entertainment will be shutting down their linear channels and app next month.
Narrative Entertainment MD Paul Dunthorne commented:
“With commercial value across the UK kids’ TV market now just 4% of what it was 10 years ago, we’ve taken the decision to close our linear Pop channel at the end of the year. We understand the importance of offering high-quality kids’ TV, and we’ve done everything that we can to maintain Pop. But free-to-air channels for this audience are simply not commercially viable without public service broadcaster-style funding.
“We will retain our Pop presence on FAST channels in the UK on Freeview, Samsung, LG and other platforms, and internationally, as these continue to offer commercial opportunities.”
Sister channel Pop Max (which also aired Dragon Ball Super) left Freeview and Sky in December of last year, and January this year respectively. Their content was moved to Pop and Pop Player.
As it stands Dragon Ball Super remains on Pop from 7pm-8pm and 1:50am-2:38am every night. Whether it will be run until Pop’s last day broadcasting remains to be seen.
As Dragon Ball Super has lasted 6 years on Pop (although the channel removed it from their schedule at times) it is the instalment of the franchise which has been on UK TV for the longest.
Dragon Ball Z aired between 2000 and 2002 on Cartoon Network, 2002-2003 on CNX and 2003-2005 on Toonami, Dragon Ball GT ran on CNX and Toonami for the same years while original Dragon Ball only aired on Toonami and Dragon Ball Kai was shown on Kix between 2012 and 2015.
While the future of Dragon Ball on linear TV remains uncertain, although the series is still available on Crunchyroll, BBC iPlayer and home video releases from Manga UKand Crunchyroll.
Dragon Ball Daima is listed as arriving on Hulu dubbed, and it will almost certainly be the Crunchyroll dub since that is the only known English dub of the series.
There are no listings for further in the week, but Dragon Ball Daima (titled natively as Sferat e dragoit Daima) is currently set to air at 9pm on Monday with no reruns as of yet.
Selecta Vision, the Spanish distributor of Dragon Ball on home video and their streaming service Anime Box have partnered up with FR Tech Gaming to give fans the chance to win some great prizes.
In a recent post the company unveiled a complete collection of the classic anime trilogy Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT on DVD as well as a silicone case for the PlayStation 5: by FR Tech Gaming.
On Monday of this week (February 3, 2025) AnimeBox, Selecta Vision’s streaming service was to bring the third anime of the original Dragon Ball trilogy – Dragon Ball GT to Spanish audiences.
It appears that the series has arrived early, as Spanish Dragon Ball enthusiast Antonio Kaytos reported it became available on January 24th.
Additionally the Dragon Ball Z midquel Dragon Ball Super will become available on February 28th, at which point all the series will be available to stream on the platform.
The “Nuevos Episodios de lunes a viernes” above can be translated as “New Episodes from Monday to Friday”, which makes sense as AnimeBox has been adding new episodes on a daily basis like a traditional broadcaster.
It was previously announced Dragon Ball Daima would be dropping on Netflix in Asia on October 14th followed by international territories on October 18th.
