Dragon Ball episodes and movie original release dates.

Post by Snail » Fri Feb 10, 2006 2:13 am

Hello there, I was wondering if anybody knows of the exact, or approximate original release dates of the Dragon Ball Z movies and episodes.

I just felt like watching the entire series in order, that is all.

Thanks in advance!

Well, there's always the single Japanese DVD releases. They have the dates the episodes aired on the back of their covers for each specific episode. Since I only have the first DVD, here's the airdates for the first six episodes:

Episode 1 - April 26, 1989
Episode 2 - May 03, 1989
Episode 3 - May 10, 1989
Episode 4 - May 17, 1989
Episode 5 - May 24, 1989
Episode 6 - June 07, 1989

Does anybody know when the episode guides for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z will be up?

I've been looking forward to those.

As you saw with Dragon Ball GT's episode guide, Dragon Ball Z took several breaks as well as making filler episodes to avoid being caught up with the manga.

Also found some relating to Dragon Ball.

Episode 01 - February 26, 1986
Episode 28 - September 03, 1986
Episode 29 - September 10, 1986
Episode 68 - July 01, 1987
Episode 69 - July 08, 1987
Episode 101 - February 17, 1988
Episode 102 - February 24, 1988
Episode 132 - November 02, 1988
Episode 133 - November 09, 1988
Episode 153 - April 19, 1989

Same applies to Dragon Ball with breaks and filler episodes. As you can see, as each series ended, the next series started up the following week.

Thank CDJapan for posting scans of the back of the DVD covers. :x I pretty much went through all the currently released DVDs for Z in Japan and then looked around some other sites to find some accurate airdates for other random episodes.
