Re: The final Dragon Ball marathon on Toonami UK in 2005

Pretty sure newspapers gonna call it animated adventures in their listing it was just Dragonball z on the sky epg but I don’t know if they used the episode titles in the information box or the generic blurb for the show that had been used in the CNX days for the 1hr blocks.
