Re: Kai coming to Hulu on July 1, 2023

My guess is that when TOEI wrote up the contracts for Kai in 2009 they weren't so keen on having it streaming out of a misguided fear about it leading to a surge in piracy, which is not what they wanted for Z's 20th anniversary, so included a clause for it to not be available on any VOD platforms, ...

Re: Kai coming to Hulu on July 1, 2023

. Maybe they're really, truly starting to ease up on their reluctance to streaming... I dunno where this "Toei is reluctant to have their properties available on streaming" idea came from but it's never been a thing. Multiple Toei IPs have been readily available on pretty much every strea...

Interestingly, the dubs of the new reboots of Digimon Adventure and Dragon Quest are also coming to Hulu on exactly the same day. Seems Toei must've cut a deal. Maybe they're really, truly starting to ease up on their reluctance to streaming...

Re: Would Goku work in old CN bumper crossovers?

Though not quite the same thing, CN actually did do their own bump with Goku, as drawn by the late, great C. Martin Croker (the voice of Zorak and Moltar from Space Ghost Coast to Coast).

Re: List of dubs for some ''difficult to acquire'' Dragon Ball OVAs and Specials

There is also a Taiwanese dub of the Dream 9 Crossover Special (the full special, both Toriko ep 99 and One Piece ep 590).

As far as I know, that's it. But if there are others out there, please let me know so I can document it!! :)

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

One Piece episode 590 is streaming on Tubi now, making its North American debut (it'll probably show up on Crunchyroll soon, too, I'd imagine). Do you have a link? I wasn't able to find it. Hmm, odd. It was showing up here the other day (along with many other seasons of One Piece), but now there's ...

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

Slightly off topic, but this special never received a home release in Japan, correct? Kind of strange if so, because the other two Toriko X One Piece specials apparently did. To the best of my knowledge it has not. It was only a few years ago that One Piece Episode #590 was released digitally with ...

Nice another new dub!

I also recently learned that a Slovenian voiceover version might've aired at some point, but I have yet to find concrete details about it, so I'll be holding off posting about it.

Re: DBZ Movies 10-13 are getting a Catalan dub

Nice. How many European dubs have covered those movies now? As I recall several dubs based on the French dub stopped at Z movie 9. It's actually more than I realized upon tallying things up: France, Germany, Greece, Italy (dubbed twice), Poland (movies 10-11 were lectored-only), Portugal, and Casti...

Re: Dragon Ball Z on SubTV in Finland

My guess is the Danish dub probably received its materials from AB Groupe. AB would have gotten the Rock the Dragon intro from Saban or Funimation when they still distributed their English dub for the Netherlands and UK but, like with the Blue Water dub's production of DB and GT, AB supplied them w...

I also found a clip of the Funimation dub. I hope these clips have been helpful. They've been the only ones I've managed to find. It's unfortunate that there isn't much information available. It seems Finland was the only Nordic country that broadcasted English dubs of DBZ. I'd say the manga has mo...

Yes, this is kind of censorship is standard in every production that Studio Venus (the entity in question that dubs Dragon Ball, among many other popular anime such as My Hero Academia, Digimon, Hunter x Hunter) localizes.

Thanks for doing this research! Always nice to read more about less obscure broadcasts like this (and have it all conveniently translated, too :thumbup:). Too bad the Fins were never able to get more of the franchise.

Re: When will Toei take action against the Albanian dub?

I, too, have long been baffled by the whole thing. It's not just an isolated case with Dragon Ball; illegal dubs (particularly for anime) are practically an institution over there. And these productions are by no means fan-made operations. It's all done professionally at actual studios . I'm guessin...
