Dragon Ball Z on UK Netflix?

Post by dbboxkaifan » Sun Dec 16, 2012 11:27 am

Anyone know when UK Netflix will be getting DBZ or a way to contact them via email? For stuff like this I think it's unnecesary to call them, since it's something which can be perfectly answered via email.

They're also missing The Simpsons, Phineas and Ferb, and later seasons (4-7) of Dexter (A Godsend). And others, but overall this is what I'd be most interested watching (especially Dexter S7 all over again).

This blog has a bunch of Netflix emails but it's from 2005. :?

DBZ isn't on Netflix in any country, near as I can tell. I'm sure Toei has very specific stipulations about that particular property -- more likely, something like that was never built in to the original contract, which is why their general online streaming initiative with the property is so slow moving, requiring endless contract negotiations and baby-steps.

(And Netflix isn't going to be your one-stop-shop for every single bit of programming ever. You can say, "They're missing such-and-such", but that's always going to be the case, unless they somehow manage to sneakily become the One Single Streaming Monopoly™ that everyone wishes they could become but IP owners will never allow.)

Title is a little bit misleading.
I agree with Vegetto. It would be nice to have any DB series on Netflix in any country, but it's somewhat unlikely that it'll happen. Still, you never know.

DBZ is actually up on Hulu+ if you've got that. I watch it sometimes to have something on in the background.

You mean streaming...? 'Cause Netflix is how I first got to watch through all of Dragon Ball.

It was basically a question so I don't see how it could be misleading.

That's cool but Hulu's still US-only, I think.

Netflix streams shows/films but I was more interested on getting to watch DB(Z) but it isn't possible.

Thanks for all responses. =)

Funi has put a good amount of their titles on Netflix before. It would be nice if they put all of the DBZ movies for streaming, but they are likely going to be dub only.
