  • Crunchyroll announce November 2024 solicitations, including new Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super Complete Series Blu-Ray collections for their store

    The leak has been confirmed to be true, as Crunchyroll have announced their November 2024 slate, which does indeed include a new Blu-Ray boxset for Dragon Ball Z.

    Dragon Ball Z

    The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Crunchyroll Exclusive


    Goku—the strongest fighter on the planet—is all that stands between humanity and villains from the darkest corners of space. Joined in battle by the Z-Fighters, Goku travels to distant realms in search of the magic powers of the seven Dragon Balls!

    Dragon Ball Super

    The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Crunchyroll Exclusive


    After 18 years, we have the newest Dragon Ball story from creator Akira Toriyama.

    With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as…a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?

    As Crunchyroll re-released Funimation’s 2013/2014 Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays replacing the company’s logo with their own, it is likely the Dragon Ball Super Blu-Rays will get similar treatment.

    Don’t expect these Blu-Rays to contain the 30th anniversary discs, as the cover art suggests it will be the heavily criticized cropped Blu-Rays. The only noticeable difference here is amended disc art to be more consistent with the new box, so nothing to write home about.

    Thankfully none of the Dragon Ball Super releases have had any issues, and fans can buy any copy from the US, UK or Australia and be satisfied with the picture and audio quality as from the 2010s onward TOEI began to standardize everything.

    Both boxsets are due for release on November 5, 2024 in North America. There has been no word, as-of-yet if these will be released in the UK or Australia where Manga UK and Madman Entertainment respectively used to release a lot of the same titles as what Funimation released in the US. So don’t be surprised if both come to Region B territories.

  • New Dragon Ball Z Complete Series Boxset coming from Crunchyroll?

    A new Complete Series Blu-Ray collection seems to be coming if the recent leak on Rightstuff is to be believed.

    If true, fans in North America can expect a new collection of all 291 episodes of Dragon Ball Z from November 5th this year with a price as low as $142.49.

    This is not the first time Crunchyroll has released all of Dragon Ball Z since the rebrand from Funimation, as an Amazon-exclusive set was released last year.

    It is unlikely the discs will be anything other than Funimation’s 2013/2014 16:9 cropped Blu-Rays, so if anyone has this release, either from its original print run, the rebranded Crunchyroll sets or even the 2007-2009 season sets this release is probably worth skipping.

  • Bardock : The Father of Goku expected to premier on Cartoon Network India around the same time as original Dragon Ball with five new dubs

    In a recent Instagram post second Hindi Vegeta voice actor Prasad Barve said “Young vegeta something new coming up soon”, leading his followers to believe the Bardock : The Father of Goku TV special was coming to Cartoon Network India.

    It has just been confirmed by Senpai Network that the special Toriyama famously loved but said he would never write himself will indeed be dubbed and airing on Cartoon Network India.

    In what has become the expected standard the much revered special will be broadcast in five native languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. No Indian dubs are known to exist or have aired.

    Often mislabelled as a movie, Bardock : The Father of Goku is a special that aired on Fuji TV alongside the Dragon Ball Z anime, and in India it is expected to air alongside original Dragon Ball, just as Cooler’s Revenge was shown the same day episodes 1-7 of Kai premiered back in 2023.

    It is always great to see older content being dubbed, Uttam Pal Singh, head of Cartoon Network India has said to fans privately the channel was looking into more Dragon Ball licenses, Dragon Ball GT was expected after Dragon Ball Kai, although One Piece was aired instead.

    It will be certainly interesting to see what else Cartoon Network India sets their eyes on, only time will tell when they will receive Dragon Ball Daima.
