Vancouver-based studio The Ocean Group provided Funimation's English dub for the first 53 edited episodes of Dragon Ball Z, and continued to dub episodes for release outside of the United States. The studio also planned an English dub for Dragon Ball Z Kai, but it was never released.
Funimation later redubbed the early episodes with its in-house cast and released them uncut.
Dragon Ball Super premiered in Japan in July 2015 on Fuji TV and other channels. Funimation's English dub of the anime premiered on Adult Swim's Toonami block on January 7.
