Manga Entertainment UK have today announced, through their social media channels, that they will be releasing Dragon Ball Z Kai on both DVD and Blu-ray later this year; with the first instalment being released on the 3rd August 2015.
For those unaware Dragon Ball Z Kai is the ‘directors cut’ version of the popular anime series; whereby not only was the footage re-mastered by the original Japanese Animation Studio but filler content, such as the Garlic Jnr Saga, was removed. Other tweaks included new audio being re-recorded, both in English and Japanese, as well as some scenes being re-drawn with new character artwork. Read more of this post

It has not been ‘actively’ confirmed from CSC Media, but from the 6th January 2013 Dragon Ball Z Kai will be shown daily on the Kid’s TV Channel, Kix TV, which is available to view (for FREE) on Sky & Freesat.
Earlier in the month we revealed that Dragon Ball Z Kai will be shown as a special ‘Preview Event’ from boxing day for three days straight, well since then Kix TV released a new TV Advert showcasing that Dragon Ball Z Kai, along with Digimon: Data Squad and Power Rangers, would be shown as the early morning line-up, however a timeslot for each shown wasn’t revealed.
After some digging on the Kix TV Website, under the What’s On Section, it turns out that 4 episodes of Dragon Ball Z Kai will be shown per day.
Starting at 8am, as part of the early morning line-up, an episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai will be shown, then another episode will be shown at 6pm. At 9pm both episodes will be repeated in an hour long timelot, thus offering viewers a ‘catch-up’ in preperation for the next day’s episodes.
Looking through the site suggests that, for now, this is the line-up that Dragon Ball Z Kai will follow until someone at Kix TV decides to change it, either way – having it this way means that a lot of people will be able to watch the show at different times during the day.
