Dragon Ball Super (often abbreviated as Super) is a Japanese animated television series produced by Toei Animation. The series' initial story concept and character designs were developed by original author Akira Toriyama. The series was announced to, "...follow the aftermath of Goku's fierce battle with Majin Boo, as he attempts to maintain earth's fragile peace."[1] The series is set slightly after the showdown with Majin Boo and retells the franchise's most recent movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F'[2], before proceeding into new story lines created by Akira Toriyama.
Plot
Peace has once again returned to the Earth, where its heroes are enjoying a quiet life. However Beerus, the God of Destruction, has awoken after a 39 year slumber. Having had a dream about "Super Saiyan God", he sets out in search of this mysterious Saiyan. After visiting Kaiō, and eventually ending up on Earth, Son Goku must find a way to summon the power of "Super Saiyan God" and battle the irritable god before he destroys the Earth!
History
Japan
On 28 April 2015, Toei Animation officially announced that production was underway on the first all-new TV series for the Dragon Ball franchise in 18 years. The series was later announced for a 05 July 2015 debut on Fuji TV, taking over the Dragon Ball Kai time slot. The series' story and characters were developed by original manga author Akira Toriyama. Veteran director Kimitoshi Chioka, known for his exquisite storyboard layouts, was brought on-board to direct and Tadayoshi Yamamuro returned as character designer. The majority of the main cast from Dragon Ball Kai and the recent films returned, including Yūko Minaguchi (Videl), Kōichi Yamadera (Beerus), Masakazu Morita (Whis), and Jōji Yanami as the series' narrator.
Simulcast
On 19 October 2016, Toei Animation announced a Dragon Ball Super simulcast to be hosted on Crunchyroll, Daisuki, Funimation's streaming service (US only), and AnimeLab (Australia/New Zealand).[3][4][5] to begin with episode 63, which was broadcast just a few days later on 23 October 2016. The entire Future Trunks arc was made available on the same day as episode 63, beginning with episode 47. The first 46 episodes were made available in ten-episode batches: Episodes 1-10 were made available on 30 October 2016, concurrent with the simulcast of episode 64; episodes 11-20 on 06 November 2016 with episode 65; episodes 21-30 on 13 November 2016 with episode 66; episodes 31-40 on 20 November 2016 with 67; and episodes 41-46 on 27 November 2016 with 68. Beginning with episode 90 on 14 May 2017, the simulcast was also available on Crunchyroll affiliate VRV.[6]
Crunchyroll initially announced coverage for a limited area; the simulcast was available to paid and free users in United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and to paid users in South Africa and Latin America (with Spanish subtitles). On 30 May 2017, Crunchyroll announced an expansion of their coverage to include the United Kingdom and much of the rest of Europe, with various foreign-language subtitles.[7]
While the series was ongoing, the Daisuki streaming service, in partnership with Bandai Namco, covered large parts of the world not covered by Crunchyroll.[8] Episodes typically appeared first on Daisuki, minutes later on Crunchyroll, and hours later on Funimation.[note 1] Daisuki's 1080p video was available to free users, while Crunchyroll only offered 720p to free users, and Daisuki's ads were relatively limited and focused on Bandai's content. AnimeLab typically released between Daisuki and Crunchyroll, but it was only available in Australia and New Zealand. Funimation's simulcast episodes went up late enough to be suggestive of a contractual obligation, perhaps through Funimation's contemporaneous partnership with Crunchyroll.[9] The partnership ended on 09 November 2018, well after the series ended.[10]
When Daisuki closed after being acquired by Bandai, they kept Dragon Ball Super as their only available title for some time while the service passed to Bandai's Dragon Ball Super Card Game website.[11][12] The episodes were removed from Bandai's website as they became widely available in physical format, but they remained on Funimation, Crunchyroll, VRV, and AnimeLab's streaming services.
