Dragon Ball Super to Simulcast on Crunchyroll, Daisuki, AnimeLab

[Deathbringer]

Very happy about this, even though I don't live in America I'm glad to hear that the series is getting a proper official release. That news about Toei doing the subs themselves is slightly worrying, I mean of course it stands to reason that if there are English speakers that are good at translating Japanese to English there must be Japanese speakers just as capable of doing it to the same degree but from what I've heard about their One Piece subtitles I'm really hoping that by some miracle Steve Simmons was able to be brought on to do this or someone as good as him of course.

So people in Europe can use Daisuki to watch it for free? Interesting I'll check it out.

Not sure if this is off topic or not... but I find it kind of amusing how most of the big announcements for Super in America were complete surprises. Nobody was expecting Viz to get the rights to the manga, or the toyline occuring, or the simulcast. Unfortunately, not all of the surprises were good, like the Toonami Asia dub going AWOL.

I'm so happy with this. I have a premium membership for years. Nowadays, I was going just with Digimon and Naruto. I was about to cancel my subscription because Digimon comes once in a while and Naruto is nearing its end. They sure saved their trump card for the right time.

Not all countries yet, some will be left out. Pfff. But they will announce that very soon.

Still sucks for people in europe. How is it free?^

It's free if you watch it on Daisuki.

Thanks!
NOT because i don't want to pay..(i'd LOVE to support them!) but because i CAN'T. It's physically impossible from where i live. My only available payment method is something they call "ideal" and they don't have that in other countries. Only where i live. So i couldn't support them even if i wanted to.

Crunchyroll accepts paypal which is available in 202 countries and 25 currencies https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/country-worldwide

You can even add money to a paypayl account with iDEAL https://www.paypal-opwaarderen.nl/nl/opwaarderen

Love this news. The timing of this is perfect too, since I really wanna see the upcoming episode of Super this week.

[dbgtFO]

The interesting part will be what kind of terminology they will use. Right now I'm most interested in finding out, if they will translate ningen as human.
While Herms argued why it was convenient to just translate it as mortals, so people wouldn't constantly be getting the wrong idea, the downside is people now thinking "mortals" is the actual translation of that word and so call it out, when they see the proper translation used elsewhere.

All in all, I hope we'll be witness to some proper quality subs.

EDIT: IT IS COMING TO DENMARK TOO??!!
Daisuki, I really do love you

Maybe ningen isn't translated into "mortal" most of the time, but context matters in translation. If it's being used like it is in Dragon Ball to mean all non-god sentient beings, then I think using mortal is more correct for the context, since it conveys that meaning without confusing those who think "human = Earthlings". It's basically a synonym to human in this case, so I don't see why people would say it's not a "proper" translation; if it helps people to understand things clearer than the more literal word choice, then it's certainly not wrong (though I've been ingrained into Dragon Ball and been aware that they use "human" to include aliens for so long that I was frankly baffled that so many people were--and, in some cases, still are!--confused about non-Earthlings being lumped together as humans).

But yes, I also am curious about what types of choices they'll make, and how the quality will turn out. I don't really remember details about how the Toei translated JSAT special turned out (I don't remember it being bad, at least...but it's been so long since I watched it, I can't really judge it at this point). I would laugh and shake my head if they chose to use romanizations commonly found on merchandise instead of what we're used to (Gokou! Klilyn!)

Glad to see it available in Norway. Not surprised it won't be available in France since rights are a mess there.

"Mortals" indicates all life, though, so the problem of people misunderstanding isn't really solved. It just switches the focus of Zamasu's ire from homo sapiens to literally everything. Given the way the whole Planet Babari incident played out, I think we can assume that his disdain doesn't cover quite that much.

Also holy cardgames on motorcycles Norway is actually getting this?! That is a pleasant surprise. Hope the CR-version will be available to us too though, so I won't have to subscribe to another service now that I'm also thinking of re-subscribing to Crunchyroll.

[GodVegetto91]

Yes! The Netherlands confirmed by Daisuki!!
I can rest in peace now.

[SilverPlaqueVII]

Canadian resident here. I had Crunchyroll on my iOS device, but can y'all explain the difference between free and paid services?

It's about time Crunchyroll gets DBS. I'm nearly tired of watching Dragon Ball on KeyHoleTV and other streams in the past.

[Puto]

So hold on a second. The show will be available with English, Russian, and Spanish subtitles throughout Europe. However, Spain will specifically not have access to the Spanish subtitles.

...WHAT?!

[medama_oyaji]

Surprised the main Kanzenshuu site hasn't posted this yet.
Crunchyroll hasn't made a post yet either.

I also find this interesting. ANN is often on the ball, but has been known to report misinformation, so maybe they're waiting for more details from other sources?

I will say, I had retweeted something from Crunchyroll that I was going to point to as more direct info from the source, but that tweet has disappeared for some reason! Very strange....... Either way, ANN seems pretty confident. They've already hired a writer for weekly reviews. Guess we'll find out this weekend!

Also, I will comment that the wording about Free vs. Paid users is a little vague:

The simulcast will begin with episode 63 on October 22 at 9:00 p.m. EDT. The streaming platforms will also offer the full Future Trunks arc (beginning with episode 47). Starting on October 30, the platforms will offer 10 of the earlier episodes per week.

The stream will be available on Crunchyroll in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand for both free users and subscription members. Crunchyroll subscription members in Latin America and South Africa will also be able to watch the stream.

The way CR tends to work is that the stream of all old episodes are available for free, while the newest episode is behind a paywall for 1 week. It's not COMPLETELY clear if they are referring to this chunk of Future Trunks episodes + past episodes being free, or if even the newest episode will be free as well. I know One Piece is an exception where even the newest episodes are free, hopefully DB will as well. I pay for CR already, so I'm happy, but I know folks who don't subscribe to CR and the paywall may be enough to make them continue following pirate streams

[medama_oyaji]

Ahhh, here is the post that the deleted CR tweet linked to http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-9 ... =community

So this is still around, seems pretty solid. They say the simulcast is available for free users as well!
