Dragonball

Cartoon Network's
Toonami and Midnight Run air DBZ . The Cell saga is now underway.
CN ran the next 77 episodes beginning with the Android saga and
ending with the end of the Cell saga.
They have also
purchased the remaining episodes of the Dragonball Z series and
will air the 'Heaven's Tournament' and 'Buu saga' beginning in
September 2001. The original Dragon Ball series (Goku as a boy)
will begin airing alongside it and will likely run in a line-up
that also contains DBZ. Dragon Ball GT is rumored to begin airing
sometime in 2003 or sooner on Cartoon Network if Dragon Ball
maintains its popularity.
Cartoon Network
has released the schedule for Season Five of DBZ: It will begin
September 10, 2001. Also, the original Dragon Ball series (Goku
as a boy) will begin airing at 5:30pm EST on August 20, 2001.
Current time for DBZ is 6:00pm EST (Toonami) and 5:30pm EST until
schedule changes again. Original DB is NOT currently airing.

first three movies, a good portion of the first Dragonball series,

near future.Many of these videos can be found at Suncoast, Saturday

Dragonball
fansubs
- There are numerous
places and distributors for the Dragonball series fansubs. There
are two questions you need to ask yourself when picking a fansub
place to order:
- 1. Quality of
the fansubs?
- Some of the
places for fansubs have copies that are several generations down...meaning
they have been taped from copies that have been taped...you get
the idea.
- 2. Repute?
- You don't want
to pay for something you may not get. Read through a fansubbers
rules and if any, messageboard or guestbook. Check their shipping
methods, payment requirements, and turn around times. Also, you
may run into strange hidden troubles like I did with one distributor
where the packages just end up "lost" in the mail.
Luckily this distributor was willing to make and resend copies,
but one week turned into two months and a big headache for both
of us. I've added the link to one of the reliable fansub distros
I used in acquiring some of my fansubs below. . They also have
some of the best quality copies I've seen. Also, let them know
that you found them through my recommendation. Just say "saiyan_scholar"
told me about this place or something like that, but be sure
to mention my name so they can keep track. Click on the image

Burger King
promo
Burger
King did a Dragonball Big Kids Meal promotion that ran from May
29 to June 18, 2000. Featured were 7 different figures that had
a "pewter look" to them. Also with them was a card
from the recently released collectible card game and an offer
to receive a video from the Android saga. If you missed this
promo or are missing some characters, I suggest scanning the
Ebay and Yahoo auctions. I've seen several (including entire
sets) on Ebay recently.
Where to buy
stuff
Dragonball
merchandise is getting easier to find as it gains popularity.
Toys can be found in most large retail stores like Kmart and
Walmart, toystores like KB Toys and Toys R Us as well as video
stores like Blockbuster, Saturday Matinee, and Suncoast. I've
seen clothing at Kmart and Suncoast, though I'm sure if they
have them others like Walmart may also sell them.
Also, many Dragonball
items can be found at online auctions such as Ebay.
And online are
countless anime and general stores that sell Dragonball merchandise.
Two of the most "thorough" online stores are linked
below. You'll find just about every Dragonball type merchandise
that's available at either of these stores.
