The holidays have come early for Dragon Ball Fans! Today, Funimation has revealed not one, but TWO pieces of news about the franchise!
The first?
The English dub of Dragon Ball Super will premiere on Adult Swim’s Toonami block of the network on January 7, 2017 at 8 pm and 11:30 pm ET. New episodes will air every week on Saturdays.
Fans of the franchise have been waiting to here this news for months, as Dragon Ball Super premiered in Japan last year. Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait too long, as the series is finally coming to North America for its English dub. To see who will be lending their voices for the dub, click here.
