How to watch Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball GT legally for free?

FUNimation allows to watch a few episodes of Z or something don't they?

Also, I remember reading about an Australian streaming service with Dragon Ball stuff, how's that?

Wasn't there evidence recently the Netherlands Netflix picked up Dragon Ball Z? Has there been any updates on that? Are they also going to stream original DB and GT? Maybe if you are already paying for Netflix check that out or get free trial if you haven't signed up.

Not sure if there's any other ways though.
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 :thumbup:

FUNimation.com and Yahoo View (thanks to Hulu) has the Japanese version of Dragonball Subbed for free legally. It has ads though, so that’s something...

That's the one! They won't let me download it via the Play Store so I just downloaded the APK externally from APK, installed, made an account and started watching. It's pretty awesome how they have so much content to watch and the ads aren't abusive at all, in my opinion.

Sources they're using:

• Dragon Ball: Blue Bricks
• Dragon Ball Z: Season Blu-rays
• Dragon Ball GT: Green Bricks

Despite that the English dub is kept as a premium feature, the original Japanese version (with subs, of course) is free. In a way this makes pirating the series kind of redundant 'cause if I just casually wanna watch, I'll just use this app (and use my VPN to switch to Australia).

Screenshots (more like print screens, to be honest) of Dragon Ball GT's stream:


'Free with ads' streaming apps work for me and if I don't want the ads, I'll just block them and not see them (but I typically don't activate it so I'll support them).

Weirdly enough we did have Battle of the Gods and Resurrection of F on there a couple of months ago, because my partner and I watched the former, and when we we to watch the latter a month ago it was gone. (So was the former, but we'd already seen that.)
