Is there a Country that shows or has shown DB and DBZ in chronological order on TV?

Post by Dragon Sponge » Tue Jun 20, 2017 2:11 pm

I wonder if there is a Country that shows or has shown all 444 Episodes of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z in chronological order, instead of showing them seperated on tv, aside from the original broadcast of Japan or other Countrys when they got the show first. Was the complete Anime adaptation of the Manga ever rerun in one or more Countrys the way its supposed to be?

I mean, if you exclude countries that got the original Dragon Ball first because they got in on the action while it was still a relatively fresh series... you cut out a significant portion of your requested list!

I know it's not the first TV series, but the International Channel played all 291 episodes of Dragon Ball Z and went directly into all 64 episodes of Dragon Ball GT. There were no reruns, and the series did not come back on the channel after that.

Romania did it. Aired the whole of Dragon Ball on TVR1, then with Z it changed on TVR2 and got the equivalent of a PG rating. However it stopped airing somewhere during the Cell arc. Years later, on Animax, they aired GT subbed without reairing the other shows, so if you stretch it a little, it does fit.

Portugal. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT were aired between 1995-1999 on SIC and Super was premiered in 2016 on the same channel. the four series have / had reruns on SIC's sister channels (SIC Radical and SIC K). Kai 1.0 was also aired there and it premiered in 2012 on SIC Radical but it wasn't dubbed, it was shown in Japanese with Portuguese subtitles instead.

Do you mean those late Sunday night airings? Holy hell, that was my intro to the Cell saga a good long time before it was aired on Toonami. I don't think Goku had finished Frieza at that point, as far as where we were with Toonami's airing. I watched it pretty religiously, over the course of years since they seemed to only air one episode a week... and I don't recall them airing the otherworld tournament. They skipped from Cell right into the Great Saiyaman Arc.

Most of non-English Europe showed everything in order.
