Crunchyroll no DBS Dubbed?

Post by SaiyanLives » Sun Oct 16, 2022 8:49 am

Does anyone kno why crunchyroll doesnt have dragon ball super dubbed?
I heard something like only funimation has it?
I'm from The Netherlands,Europe and funimation is not available for me only crunchyroll...
So if i want the english dub i have to buy the blu rays it seems but having it on streaming services is nice too guess i cant...

The migration from FunimationNow to Crunchyroll has been slow. It took them forever to get the Japanese episodes of Z. Eventually everything FunimationNow has will be on Crunchyroll and the former will be shut down.

I feel like Dragon Ball--especially Super in this day and age--would be the strong selling point to migrate over to Crunchyroll. I feel like I've seen them advertising themselves specifically using Dragon Ball (Z or Super or whatever) as a selling point.

So, the idea that they're so slow with uploading this series, of all things, is mind-boggling. It makes me wonder: if they haven't fully brought over the Dragon Ball series, what have they fully brought over? Is there really something more pressing than Dragon Ball? One Piece, maybe? One Punch Man? I get those, but I'd think Dragon Ball would be in their top 5 list of priorities.

Maybe I'm just so out-of-touch and don't realize how many anime series have overtaken Dragon Ball in popularity lol

Super ended four years ago. People were watching it subtitled as it came out on Crunchyroll, including people who otherwise wouldn't touch Japanese Dragon Ball with a 50 foot power pole. I doubt adding the dub is that big of a priority for CR. People who were that adamant about seeing Super in dubbed format either made a point to watch it as air aired on Adult Swim or watched it on Hulu. If the Super dub was recent I could see Crunchyroll making a point to include it asap

Yeah, but they've been slow on getting the whole thing in general (the subbed DBZ, for example). Even with all of that being true, wouldn't it still be a priority to get the series on there as quickly as possible?

Anyway, it's not like I have a dog in the hunt--I just find out kinda off.
