Next Episode Previews?

Post by skatezeppelin » Sun Jul 01, 2012 4:22 am

Did the original run of Dragonball on television in Japan include next episode previews? As far as I recall, I remember that NEP's began in the beginning of Dragonball Z. If Dragonball and the first few episodes of Dragonball Z didn't include NEP's does anyone know what episode had the first NEP?
I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

Dragon Ball episodes did have next episode previews. The last episode of Dr. Slump even had a preview for the first DB episode, and the last DB episode had a preview for the first DBZ episode.

You might be thinking of the recaps of previous episodes. DBZ episodes started the tradition of consistent recaps with distinct music. But DB did have recaps too; they were just less consistent, and the music for them were various normal BGM pieces, rather than a unique and distinct piece like DBZ's.

Is there any way we can have every Dragonball NEP translated?

Yep, the NEPs are subbed (with the help of Sangofe and company).

Not sure I'm allowed to point out where so I'll send you the link.
