Since August of this year there has been no update on the Danish dub of Dragon Ball Super, but it looks like that is about to change.
The dub, which began in October of last year has had 76 episodes so far, leaving Danmarks Radio (DR) with 55 episodes left to complete the entire series of Dragon Ball Super.
The first 27 episodes of Dragon Ball Super were uploaded to DR Ultra in one batch, and for episodes 28-76 they were released with 3 episodes weekly. Whether DR will take either approach to the rest of the series or if they will go in a new pattern remains to be seen, but nonetheless it is exciting for Dragon Ball fans in Denmark that this dub may be seen to its conclusion.
It is worth noting if this dub finishes Dragon Ball Super it will not only surpass the episode count of the Dragon Ball Z Danish dub (which stopped at episode 104) but it will be the first time a Dragon Ball TV anime has ever received a complete dub in the language.
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.
Unlike the Dragon Ball Z dub, which was fully dubbed in Russian the Super dub was partly lectored with at least 5 voices, similar to the Romanian versions.
Recently, a promo aired, which announced that Dragon Ball Z would be airing on the channel Teletica (Canal 7) in Costa Rica. At the time no date or timeslot was announced, but now both have been revealed.
According to an article on the channel’s own website fans will not have too long to wait. As a matter of fact Dragon Ball Z is scheduled to air tomorrow on August 23rd.
The channel will broadcast the iconic anime series in two double bills, one from 5:30pm-6:30pm, and then again from 11pm-0am after the sports programming.
As Costa Rica is a Hispanic region Teletica will most likely be airing the much beloved Latin American Spanish dub of Dragon Ball Z.
It has been announced that Dragon Ball Z will be dropping on Netflix in India on July 15th.
This is not going to be the first time a complete series of any of the Dragon Ball anime was streamed on the service in the region as Dragon Ball Daima was added to Netflix in October of last year.
This may be disappointing news for fans that grew up with the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs on Cartoon Network back in the early 2000s, but of course there are also fans of the Japanese version who may be happy with this news.
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.
As expected the timeslot is longer than normal to cover the extended first episode, but as the series goes on it is likely Toonami will dedicate half an hour to the remaining episodes like the other shows in their lineup.
Unlike in the late 90s and 2000s all Dragon Ball content aired on Toonami in the US has been uncut, so there will almost certainly be no time cuts or other edits.
This will mark the first time a traditional TV channel broadcasts the English dub of Dragon Ball Daima.
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.
