Date Named for New Episodes to Air
FUNimation is happy to announce that starting September 3 new episodes of Dragon Ball Z will begin airing on Cartoon Network. Until then, viewers can enjoy a double dose of their favorite TV series that is Cartoon Network's No. 1-rated show. DBZ is being aired in back-to-back episodes in the popular Toonami block. The extended Dragon Ball Z lineup began May 14 and airs weeknights from 6-7 p.m. EDT, then 12 to 1 a.m. EDT for Toonami's Midnight Run.
"This is a testament to just how well-loved the characters of Dragon Ball Z have become," said Gen Fukunaga, president of FUNimation, which introduced the Japanese TV series to America. "No other series has ever been allowed that amount of time during Toonami, so this obviously is a very exciting time - not only for FUNimation, but for all Dragon Ball Z fans."
In addition, the Cartoon Network has designated May 25 as Z Day, which means that the entire Toonami will be dedicated to airing Dragon Ball Z episodes. Viewers have been and can cast votes online for their top 2 DBZ episodes, which will be included in the May 25 broadcast.
And starting June 25th, be sure to tune into Cartoon Network to watch the Dragon Ball series that will begin airing in the time slot immediately following DBZ. Dragon Ball is the series that started it all.
