This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I wish Toonami could come back to the UK or set up in Canada so Ocean Kai would have a chance of getting on the air.

As great as it is for Dragon Ball to be on TV this is going to be a tough sell when it's on at 2:30am and will almost certainly be the Funimation dub with Kikuchi score.

On a more optimistic note maybe if it helps Toonami's ratings the block will expand to more countries though.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

A win for college students with free cable living in their dorms pulling an all nighter and overcaffeintated middle schoolers living with their grandparents for sure.

Not going to lie, when I was a college student I would have been all over Dragon Ball as a hangover cure. Doubt the people I partied with felt the same though. This was between 2011 and 2016 so it was on Kix at the time but only during the day and early evenings.

And for Toei's NEXT trick, putting DBZ on MeTV's upcoming spinoff channel for animation! It's coming! It's COMING!
