FUNimation's first stab at an English dub of the Dragon Ball television series aired in 1995 spanning 13 edited, English-dub-only episodes airing over the course of a single syndicated television broadcast season on local network affiliates. This was accompanied by a widely-distributed home video release of the franchise's first theatrical film — released under the title "Curse of the Blood Rubies" — the following year, alongside VHS releases of the same 13 television episodes.
The series debuted in September 1995, and ran through to completion by that December. The single season was rebroadcast in repeats into the next calendar year, and continued to air in fall 1996 even as the company's English dub of the Dragon Ball Z television series supplanted their work on the original television series.
This era is often referred to as the "Ocean dub" or "Kidmark dub", confusing various partners of the time and obfuscating the ultimate ownership and production by FUNimation themselves.

History
Following the company's founding in 1994, FUNimation produced an English dub of the first theatrical Dragon Ball film under the title "Curse of the Blood Rubie" [sic]. Though this version did not see wide release[note 1], it set the basis for their future production of the franchise, including the usage of the Vancouver cast and Peter Berring for the replacement musical score.
The Lionsgate Films sub-license appears to have concluded sometime around 2009[note 2], which provided FUNimation with the opportunity to begin re-releasing the Dragon Ball television series on home video, including their own in-house re-dub of the first thirteen episodes.[1]
This was followed by a re-release of the first Dragon Ball theatrical film — still under the title Curse of the Blood Rubies — but now featuring a new, uncut, English dub alongside the original Japanese version of the film for the first time in North America.[2]

Notes
- ↑ The VHS produced here was likely sent out to distributors and other potential partners in order to gauge and build interest in FUNimation's forthcoming production of the Dragon Ball series.
- ↑ We at Kanzenshuu (then still Daizenshuu EX) coincidentally contacted Lionsgate Films early in 2009 to inquire about the status of their sub-license for home video distribution of the original Dragon Ball series. We were referred to their legal department, who declined to share any information, stating such things could not be used for our website. Oh well. We found out anyway.
