  • Dragon Ball Super: Beerus simulcast comes to Mangas in France

    French fans will soon be able to experience Dragon Ball Super: Beerus not long after the episodes premier in Japan.

    Starting October 13th a new episode will be simulcast every Tuesday at 11pm on the Mediawan Thematics-owned channel Mangas, just two days after the Fuji TV debuts.

    This is not the only exciting news for Dragon Ball fans in France, as it has been just announced that Dragon Ball Daima will air on the channel Gulli, likely with a French dub.

    A French dub of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is not known to be in production, but it could very well happen at some point as all the Dragon Ball TV series up to Daima (which again is likely to follow suit) have been dubbed in the language.

    A subbed airing is not unexpected however, as Dragon Ball Daima received a simulcast on Mangas, the channel also regularly airs Dragon Ball content with the most recent being a rerun of Dragon Ball GT.

    Mediawan Thematics is the owner of AB Groupe, which have a long history with the Dragon Ball franchise in France dating back to March 2, 1988 when the original series first aired on TF1’s Club Dorothée block.

    A French dub of Dragon Ball Daima and local simulcast of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will no doubt be the start of an exciting new chapter in the history of Dragon Ball in France.

     

  • Dragon Ball GT returns to Mangas in France

    A few days ago a promo was aired, which confirms the return of Dragon Ball GT to the French TV channel Mangas.

    Mangas, which first broadcast Dragon Ball GT in 1997 has aired Dragon Ball content regularly in France for many years but has not aired Dragon Ball GT in 15 years.

    Mangas confirmed to a fan that it will be a complete remaster of the French dub with a video source will not be the same as what was seen on ADN or Crunchyroll.

    This will be great news for fans as there were episode previews dubbed in French that are considered to be lost as no recordings have survived, but this will be another chance for fans to catch them live.

    It has been said that in 2010-2011 the complete uncensored French dub of GT was aired with the next episode previews dubbed in French and the openings and endings left in Japanese.

    No start date has been confirmed to our knowledge, but we will keep an eye on such information to be revealed.

  • 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.
