Our forum buddy SHINOBI-03 let us know that the Arabic dub of Dragon Ball Z is set to continue this month, apparently picking up where it left off with episode 54. It is set to air on the channel “SpacePower”, an Arabic cartoon channel aimed at teenagers and young adults. Two trailers have made their …
Following up on the news from last August of the first DVD set, our buddy sangofe let us know that France is set to receive the second part of the first TV series 19 May 2010.

Earlier this week FUNimation announced a “multi-year, national licensing” partnership with New Jersey-based “Shocker Toys” to produce “Mallows” based on various franchises, including Dragon Ball.

With an official announcement of its licensing (and Jeff sick with family coming to town), it made sense to dedicate another podcast episode to the “refreshed” version of the DBZ TV …
Happinet’s official release website has been updated confirming that at least 99 episodes of Dragon Ball Kai have been planned. We are assuming this episode count is nothing concrete, just an estimation from Toei based on how much material they think they will be cutting. It was also announced on their website that these 99 …
Several birdies have been talking to us about the release schedule for a while now, and it seems like Wal-Mart wants in on the conversation, too.

During this morning’s Q3 Fiscal 2010 earnings conference call, Navarre Chief Executive Officer Cary Deacon announced the official license of Dragon Ball Kai to FUNimation, which is scheduled for release in the “latter part” of the upcoming fiscal year (which could run through this summer if intended as Fiscal 2010, or later if intended as …
