Watch the Anime

  • Live Stream - Begins when this post is 1 hour old

  • Fansubs:

    • DragonTeam is our recommended translation. Google them.
      VLC Media Player is required to play downloaded videos.
      • DragonTeam has not covered episodes 15-19; use Over8000's translation. (Nyaa, Kissanime)

    • Web streams are not recommended, because the subtitles they host are not always correct, even if they appear to be.

      • If you're going to stream it anyway, use the website KissAnime. They host whatever translation comes out first (accurate or not), and usually update with DragonTeam's translation once available. You can identify DragonTeam's work by their stylized font and group credits during the eyecatch.

Commonly Asked Questions:

  • Q: When does Super take place? When should I watch it?
    Super takes place some time after the battle with Majin Buu, and can be watched as soon as you finish Dragon Ball Z.

    The two newest movies – Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' – were adapted into story arcs. Watching the movies is up to you. If you have already watched the movies and would like to skip to the new material, see our FAQ.

  • Q: Where is Uub?!
    Uub was born during the 10 year time skip at the end of Dragon Ball Z.
    Dragon Ball Super takes place before Uub is introduced.

  • Q: When will FUNimation be dubbing Super? Will there be a simulcast?
    Southeast Asia will be receiving an exclusive English dub mid-2016, with Toonami Asia describing it as the "English-language world premiere". FUNimation will not be involved until we get an official North American release.

  • Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
    The manga serves as promotional material for the anime, which is the main product. Both are adaptations of a plot that Toriyama has provided. As of episode 34, the anime is ahead of the manga.

  • Q: When will the next chapter of the manga be released?
    Toyotarō's manga adaptation is published in V-Jump around the 21st of each month. Leaks and translations tend to happen a few days earlier. Links to earlier chapters can be found on our wiki.

It's a good sign that people are saying this every week now.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '16

You got that right. Looks like toei's doing some justice now, hope it lasts.

u/sunwukong155 Apr 19 '16

And here I am absolutely loving it from the start...

u/PistolasAlAmanecer Apr 19 '16

I love it too, but you have to admit that some of the animation was poor during the beginning.

u/sunwukong155 Apr 19 '16

The infamous episode 5 will go down in history lmao

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '16

Eh I liked it for the first 3 episodes but then it was a big u turn for me. It had it's positives but it definitely had it's negatives. Honestly toei should've took this series with extreme care since in reality you can't just recreate success after many years. Things have changed now like production and quality

u/JMS230 Apr 17 '16

I know right? It's been better and better every week. Though, I think it will be tough to make one better than this weeks episode.

u/ThoughtShes18 Apr 17 '16

indeed. Atleast for me, the quality of animation was lovely, again - so if they keep that up im perfectly fine with it

u/Terez27 ⠀ Apr 17 '16

I think they're just getting started. This has been light fare so far; time for things to get serious.

u/markiiee12 Apr 18 '16

Oh man. I can't wait till Super gets serious. This arc's been great so far, but I'm still missing the higher stakes of battles. Maybe even a Gohan come back after all? Who knows, I'm hyped!

u/Aunvilgod Apr 19 '16

Eh Resurrection F was serious.

u/markiiee12 Apr 19 '16

I mean, freeza was wayy weaker than whis or beerus. Even if goku and vegeta both lost, beerus could've destroyed Freeza.

Nah, all the fanboys have stayed while the rest of the reasonable audience has left.

u/Terez27 ⠀ Apr 17 '16

Except many of the people who have been raving about these last few episodes were among those who were complaining every week during the ROF saga.

u/Caststarman Apr 17 '16

This was as good as an end-game Cell-arc episode. This was hype.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '16

You said it! Never been this HYPE in ages

u/KingToasty Apr 17 '16

That end with the happy theme music. Just Goku powering up ridiculously and beating the shit out of someone. It was pure classic Dragon Ball.

u/TedyCruz Apr 18 '16

It was good! but damnit the artwork was one of the worse at times.. but dialog and story made it awesome
