Hulu for US and STAR+ for outside US.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Maybe I missed something but was wondering if I'm the only one who doesn't get a sub option for this show on hulu? I don't understand Japanese so I'd at least like to be able to read what there saying.

I'm watching Sand Land now. It's really good! There's suspense but also humor and unpredictable events. You can really sense the Toriyama flair! I will for sure buy it if it comes out on Blu-Ray. An excellent news is that the full color manga has been announced to be released in France this fall!

Hopefully it gets a blu-ray release since companies seem so anti-physical media these days.

Does Disney have international rights? Because if they do the chance we'll see a physical release is pretty damn slim

I wish the subtitles would be properly translated from Japanese... The French subs are horrible (seems translated from the english dub) and the english subs could be better.

I've béen watching the show dubbed in English and will most likely give it a rewatch immediately after I'm gone thru all the initial 6 episodes. It is usually a slow burn for me if I were to binge thru a series like that but this show, I breezed through fairly quick.

Peak Toriyama was and will always be with Dragon Ball.

Watched first 6 episodes, it was pretty enjoyable and charming, it has that Toriyama simplicity that one loves. Looking forward to that new story he supervised.

I love the show, first time since the manga in the short live American V-jump days (Is that what it was called?) that I've thought about this series.

Only thing I really don't like about this series though just might be Beelzebub himself. He just feels very shonen protagonist arch type to me, and little more. But every other character more than makes up for him though. Especially loved Rao, and the Swimmers as characters.

This is great so far! I'm loving the world and characters. The opening slaps and I love the ending, too.

I hope we get more adaptations of Toriyama's non DB stories. I've been waiting for an anime of the Jaco manga for ages now (even though that's technically a DB story, but I didn't know that when I first started reading it). fingers crossed we get that some day.

Binged the first seven episodes today and had a blast. I'm not quite sure how to feel about this new story arc so far, but the interactions between Beelzebub and Muniel are a lot of fun.

I'm thinking I'll do a write-up about the show at some point after it's over.
