Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Welp... The announcement was a bunch of classic anime movies on BD... Sigh. And Pokémon Indigo League on BD/DVD.
Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
I'm disappointed they haven't announced Super but must admit I'm pretty happy about Pokemon on Blu-ray.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Me too, I'm glad now that I bought Manga's Blu-Ray of the first 5 movies so the series will be a great addition to my collection. Also I get its off-topic but unless I'm mistaken isn't this the serie's debut on the format?90sDBZ wrote:I'm disappointed they haven't announced Super but must admit I'm pretty happy about Pokemon on Blu-ray.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Yeah first time any main Pokémon series is on BD... But I wouldn't get too excited yet this is TPCi and they already released HD version of Indigo Lge on Amazon, Google play etc and apparently the transfer is shite, which is not surprising considering TPCi are upscaling from the cut dub and not uncut JPN masters. If like Viz's Bleach BDs and these somehow look worse on BD than their DVD counterparts, I'll stick with the DVDs for this.Dragon Ball Ireland wrote:Me too, I'm glad now that I bought Manga's Blu-Ray of the first 5 movies so the series will be a great addition to my collection.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Manga they just tweeted they are gonna announce something long awaited for release on October soon they also said it feels like forever since they've been holding on... This has to be DBS otherwise I officially give the hell up.
Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Maybe it's Kai's Buu arc. Funimation's done with it and they only had it be region A so something kept them from having it be B as well.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Manga they just tweeted they are gonna announce something long awaited for release on October soon they also said it feels like forever since they've been holding on...

July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

YES!!! Finally! Also I seem to remember Jerome mentioning that they may revisit Buu Kai in the future so there might still be hope for that. And finally the movies too!Baggie_Saiyan wrote:It is DBS and old Z movies. FINALLY!

I guess if these sell well then they got nothing to lose releasing Buu Kai.90sDBZ wrote:YES!!! Finally!

I'm really excited about the Z movie BDs! About damn time. Hopefully they release the second DBS set by December. They'd be caught up by then if they do since FUNi's Part 3 is coming January.
Edit- Nevermind they said ..."with the following episodes set for release on January 29, 2018.".

According to this part 2 comes out January 29th. Still it isn't too far away I guess.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Wow, that was unexpected but fair play to Manga .
This gives me hope they have taken on criticisms of them putting out Dragon Ball releases too late (think Kai would have sold better if they released it when it was hot).
Both Super and the movies should be decent sellers for them since they were so highly requested, who knows maybe sales will help them fund that UK version of Rock the Dragon.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Those issues are/were less Manga's fault and more Toei Europe's. Manga license the show direct from them as opposed to sub licensing hence why no FUNi logo's ever appear on their releases. Toei USA deal with the other three big English speaking countries (USA AUS NZ) so it is no surprise they are always more or less always in sync.Dragon Ball Ireland wrote:Wow, that was unexpected but fair play to Manga .

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Better late than never. Already purchased and received the first 2 Funimation releases.
Hopefully Funimation will Simuldub it soon, and then Toei Europe may let them stream it (assuming this means they've given up on the TV deal) though I doubt it.
If I were them, I'd sell the rights to Netflix and Funimation to stream.
Netflix is in more UK homes than Sky and Amazon (last time I checked) nothing is "above" streaming.
I truly believe it's the direction we're going in, there's big money involved.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Part 1 & 2 on sale on Amazon now. £24.99 each. Not bad:

Also Manga will release the two Z specials too!! The most vital old release!

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Got my Super Blu-ray pre-ordered! After avoiding the show since its original 2015 announcement in hopes of an eventual UK release I was starting to think I'd never see the day. Fingers crossed for Buu Kai someday too.

Re: Factors that make UK Broadcasters pass on Dragon Ball Super.
Tbh I've never used them before but I do seem them vouched by anime companies (for ex this tweet by Anime Ltd https://twitter.com/AllTheAnime/status/ ... 7280874496)90sDBZ wrote:Are AoL safe/reliable to use?

The immediate payment is what makes it iffy for me so I may wait until a few days before release if Amazon haven't dropped by then.
