As reported yesterday on Kanzenshuu after well over a decade Dragon Ball Kai has finally been released in the Netherlands on the streaming service GoAnime.
Unfortunately there is a cache, as my source has asked a fan in the Netherlands, and despite GoAnime previously stating their contract included Dutch audio there is no Dutch dub.
As the company also confirmed no English dub that means Dragon Ball Kai is only available in the Netherlands in Japanese with Dutch subs.
Whether a Dutch dub will be released or one of the English dubs of Kai will be added at a later stage remains to be seen.
The Iraq channel, which has been broadcasting Kurdish dubs of the franchise since Dragon Ball Z premiered on their channel in 2019 is once again teasing Dragon Ball Daima.
While a dub is not confirmed there is no precedent for 4Anime airing subtitled content, so it would stand to reason Dragon Ball Daima would be no different.
“Akira Toriyama left us his last gift before he died,, in just 30 minutes … the great world of Dragon Ball expanded 10 times this year’s amazing surprise of the anime world of Dragon Ball Daima. Dragon Ball – Dragon Ball – 2013 – 2014 – 2015 – 2016 – 2017 – 2018 – New season✨ coming soon …wait 😍 #4animetvhd”
The last anime in this franchise Dragon Ball Super was rerun on 4Anime earlier this year and concluded on July 7th, so expect Dragon Ball Daima to be aired more than once, especially if the ratings are good.
As the series was also released on Viu TV, Macau is the last remaining special administrative region to not be streaming Dragon Ball Daima on a local platform and mainland China has not been confirmed.
In terms of where Cartoon Network India is at with original Dragon Ball, Episodes 34-38 aired today.
It is not known why the Indian premier of Battle of Gods was unexpectedly cancelled, or when it will now be released, although we will report on it when and if there is further updates on the matter.
In the past few days World Dubbing News reported Dragon Ball Daima would be coming to yet another streaming service in Latin America, this time a local platform.
The latest TOEI anime and the final work of Akira Toriyama is being streamed on Claro Video.
The show is only available to Hong Kong viewers with Chinese subs, but as all Dragon Ball series since the original received dubs in Hong Kong and Taiwan (and the original Dragon Ball got a dub in mainland China) it is likely that a Cantonese and Mandarin dub will follow at some point.
This will also mark the second time a Danish company has licensed any of the TV anime, as Dragon Ball Z was the only series to be shown prior to Super.
Luckily sangofe was also told if numbers were good for Dragon Ball Super, Danmarks Radio would buy more Dragon Ball content.
As such this could be a great opportunity for a revival of the franchise in the Scandinavian territory.
For fans on the west coast of North America it will be 10am, 12pm for central time viewers and 1pm on the east coast, whereas for UK and Irish viewers it will be 6pm.
A release on a streaming platform would certainly be a great way of testing the waters for a home release, especially in the Netherlands case where traditionally they have had English dubs of Dragon Ball, and have thusly been served since 2015 when Manga UK released Dragon Ball Kai on home media for Dutch fans that want the Funimation dub, and even the Yamamoto score for episodes 1-39 (which a separate Dutch release would almost certainly not have).
In any case we will be keeping a close eye on any updates on this mythical Dutch dub and streaming release.
Earlier this year, following the death of series creator Akira Toriyama it was announced that the Danish public service broadcaster Danmarks Radio was going to air Dragon Ball Super in the fall.
At the time it was not known whether the series would be airing subtitled or dubbed, however shortly after enquiries were made and the channel confirmed they would indeed be dubbing Dragon Ball Super in Danish.
This will not be the first time Dragon Ball Super was legally available in Denmark, as it was simulcast on Daisuki in 2016, but this will mark the debut of the Danish dub.
For months there was no word on when exactly the anime would be making its return to Denmark, that all changed as just today it has been revealed Dragon Ball Super will begin airing this week.
