Re: Dragon Ball on American TV - A Concise History


I thought it would be a good idea to make a topic on this because the history of Dragon Ball in the US is so overwhelming, and there doesn't seem to be any place with all the broadcast dates, timeslots etc. I've put together what I could find and remember from my brief time living in the US in ...

Re: Dragon Ball on American TV - A Concise History



Funimation aired their test dub of OG Dragon Ball where Goku was named "Zero" in August 1995 at a 1pm timeslot on KtZZ.

I have never heard of the test dub actually airing. Do you have a source for this?

Cartoon Network aired the three episode version of Tree of Might on 29 January 1999 at ...

Re: Dragon Ball on American TV - A Concise History



Speaking of the "official" premiere episodes from the Z series that was on Syndication. Is there any particular reason why episodes premieres starting on September 13, 1996 a Friday but then on episode 16 debuts, February 1, 1997 that day is a Saturday and every episode later debut on Saturdays ...
