Re: "Dragon Ball Daima" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread


I'm actually surprised Japanese home releases don't come with more subtitle tracks, as they don't take up much space and would result in more international sales.


Yeah, it would definitely boost their sales and I'm honestly thinking, there's a possibility of it happening. Akio Iyoku was the one ...

Re: Where will the franchise go after Super?


Hopefully it will end with Super. The ending of DBZ was a perfect conclusion to the Dragon Ball world and there shouldn't be a story set after it.

Also, Goku is the heart and soul of Dragon Ball and I have absolutely NO interest in a series where Goku is sidelined for these so-called "new gen ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Daima" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread

The sad thing is that even before this delay and Crunchyroll's piss poor home release selections/schedule, I had problems with their last big Dragon Ball complete series release - the Dragon Ball Super steelbook gift set back in 2022. I preordered from Crunchyroll's site MONTHS IN ADVANCE and for ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Daima" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread


Can confirm that, while my pre-order hasn't been cancelled, the standard edition of Daima has been completely delisted from Amazon Canada. Deluxe edition is still available with a projected release date of 2099. I vaguely remember something like this happening once before when one of the One Piece ...

Re: Where will the franchise go after Super?


It will probably be something unexpected as Dragon Ball always surprises me. I didn't expect to see another series where Goku and his friends turned into kids, nor a Kai-ified Super for example. So I guess if Age 1000 is well received maybe they will finally explore Dragon Ball with brand new ...

Re: Where will the franchise go after Super?


I could see Iyoku having them do a remake of the original DB for the 50th anniversary with a completely new voice cast-- something like the remade Yaiba that came out last year (the remake was prettier, but the original is a better listen--it has Ryo Horikawa hamming it up as the main villain and ...

Where will the franchise go after Super?

So, right now, Super is obviously the poster child of the Dragon Ball franchise (between the remake/remaster and beyond). And understandably so, considering there's still two arcs (Moro and Granolah) including beyond (Black Freeza or whatever) to be adapted into the anime. And then, there's the ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Daima" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread

Uh-oh. Looks like, as of this posting, Daima's physical releases are no longer listed for next week anymore. I really hope this doesn't mean they're cancelling the release. I imagine that probably won't happen since it took so much effort to work on the release and pre-orders have already been made ...

Did Super use concepts from fan works?

For example, the idea of an evil Supreme Kai originally came from Dragon Ball AF before becoming official with Zamasu. The whole Evil Goku thing had been a trope from the fans for a while before Goku Black. And even Gohan Blanco apparently inspired Gohan Beast, possibly? Then, there's the Tournament ...

Definitely good idea to get those items signed while you can. Geekdom said Schemmel wants to retire when he can afford to so only time will tell how much longer he'll be voicing Goku. That said he will probably stick around for Super Kai and probably a couple more years of Dragon Ball projects ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


You should really do some research to make sure your information's right. Toyotaro indeed suggested Vegetto be added to the Future Trunks arc, but there's no proof that he wasn't in Toriyama's outline when it was given to Toyotaro or Toei to use. I assume Toyotaro made the suggestion when looking ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


So, in checking to see if the Super anime actually says how Vegeta got SS God, I watched a few of the episodes that take place between the first & second arcs &, Jesus, this recut can't happen fast enough.


Yeah, unlike most fans whining about this recut, I think Super desperately needs a "Kai ...

The sad thing is that knowing Crunchyroll, I wouldn't be surprised if the Walmart release is a limited thing like the Kai Part double bundle DVD releases and that we eventually do get an official season set release from them.

I just realized that with Super returning with the remake/remaster and the Moro arc (and beyond, I'm sure), the Super home release thread I started will be relevant again. I just wonder if it makes sense to make a new Super home release thread to differentiate the remake/remaster from OG Super or ...

Man, this is so sweet to read. Nicktoons was so underrated. To this day I think Buu Kai only happened because DBZKai was such a huge hit for Nicktoons.


Oh, I guarantee Kai's international success is what led to the Boo arc even happening (which I wished aired on Nicktoons at the time). As far ...

Glad you had that experience growing up with Kai on Nicktoons. I love that the Z portion of the story had a second golden age on US TV with Nicktoons, especially considering that time in the early 2010s marked the end of traditional TV's glory days. As you say, it was like Toonami for a new ...

It's a great idea, and some streaming services
like Orange TV in Spain have started experimenting with using the Toonami and Adult Swim brand names for add-on packages, although I don't know if they created banners.

I definitely think Crunchyroll should take note though, especially if they ...
