  • Dragon Ball Super set to begin airing in Denmark

    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.

    The debut of Dragon Ball Super on Danish TV will also mark the first time any Dragon Ball series has aired in the country since DR Ultra’s rerun of Dragon Ball Z concluded on January 31, 2014, and the first time any Dragon Ball content was released in Denmark since the most recent movie Super Hero was screened theatrically in September 2022.

  • Dragon Ball’s 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc concludes on Cartoon Network India

    Earlier this month Cartoon Network promoted the first tournament story arc (the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai) with terms such as “New Challenges”, “New Adventures” and “New Battles”.

    Today the first major action-packed story arc wrapped up with the broadcast of episode 28.

    Dragon Ball airs every Sunday from 1:30-3:45pm, and from this Tuesday it will receive a new weekday timeslot from 9-10pm.

    The episodes recently aired have been labelled as “Season 2”, likely to emphasize being a part of the second major story arc. Whether this will be a continued trend for the coming arcs remains to be seen.

    In any case viewers should expect to see the Red Ribbon Army arc premier next Sunday, and the week after that Battle of Gods will make its long awaited Indian debut.

    Every Dragon Ball series, TV special and movie aired on Cartoon Network India will receive five regional dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

    The Hiroki Takahashi insert song Mezase Tenkaichi was removed in all of these dubs.

    Exciting times for India Dragon Ball fans are ahead.

  • First international TV deal announced for Dragon Ball Daima – French-channel Mangas on October 15th

    It is official, Dragon Ball Daima, the latest instalment in the long running Dragon Ball anime series, and the last work of late creator Akira Toriyama is coming to TV.

    Mediawan Thematics-owned channel Mangas has just announced the new anime series will be coming to their channel October 15th at 10:50pm.

    Mangas has a long history with the franchise. The original Dragon Ball aired on a previous incarnation of the channel named AB Cartoons in 1996, Mangas itself featured the French premier of Dragon Ball GT (the previous series would debut on TF1’s Club Dorothée block) and the channel still broadcasts the older series from time to time.

    France was also notably the second international territory to receive the anime after Hong Kong in 1989 and as such generations of fans have grown up with Dragon Ball and still love it to this day.

    Thanks goes to my buddy sangofe for noticing this, and for his continued work in bringing all kinds of great Dragon Ball news to all of us.
