This is a Toonami Faithful Exclusive.
We have recently heard from our contact at Turner Asia Pacific that Cartoon Network Taiwan will launch a new kid-centric Toonami block for action and anime this Saturday. Among the new series joining CN Taiwan as part of the Toonami block are Xiaolin Chronicles, Kaitou Joker and the South East Asia premiere of Dragon Ball Super.
This will be the first time Dragon Ball Super has aired outside of Japan and Korea. It will only broadcast in Mandarin for now. There have been no updates on when an English version will become available for the rest of the region.
Here’s the promo Dragon Ball Super’s premiere.
