DB Dub

Post by Alice » Wed Feb 06, 2008 4:00 pm

When did the Dragon Ball, not DBZ, dub air in North America?

I have memories of going over to my best friend's house and watching it with her sometimes as a little kid, but can't quite place when that was.

A really really old dub was aired (not sure where) back in 89'? Then, there was a newer dub done by the Ocean group I believe, and it aired in North America in 1994, 1995 ish. Also, it's important to note that they only dubbed the first 13 episodes of Dragonball, and nothing else further; until they picked up Dragonball Z. Sorry, My memory is a little fuzzy, but yeah it's somewhere along those lines. :)

Okay, thanks. The first 13 episodes in 1995 makes sense, the ones I saw were all at the beginning of the series and I would have been a kid then. Wow, that's a long time now that I think about it. I feel kind of hardcore now. :P
