The first Dragon Ball Super Japanese DVD and Blu-ray box sets landed early in December this month and the next set is scheduled for a March 2nd, 2016 release. We recently got a bit of an updated on the third set as it was scheduled to arrive on June 2nd, 2016. Now we’ve got the rare instance coming out of Japan in that this set is being delayed. It’s not much, but considering how unusual it is overall for releases to be delayed, it’s worth noting. The third installment is now scheduled for a July 2nd, 2016 release. This set will contain episodes twenty-five through thirty-six of the new series. The series is planned for 52 episodes.
The DVD sets are priced at 11,200 yen each while the Blu-ray sets are priced at 15,200 yen each. The only on-disc extras included are the clean opening and closing sequences and both sets will include a booklet.
Toei Animation announced the series at the end of April, which is coming from a story concept from Akira Toriyama. The debut of the series marks the first new series for the property in eighteen years.
The cast includes Masako Nozawa as Son Goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten, Ryo Horikawa as Vegeta, Hiromi Tsuru as Bulma, Takeshi Kusao as Trunks, Mayumi Tanaka as Krillin, Masaharu Satou as Kame-Sen’nin, Toshio Furukawa as Piccolo, Naoko Watanabe as Chi-Chi, Yuko Minaguchi as Videl, Unshou Ishizuka as Mr. Satan, Kôzô Shioya as Majin Buu, Kouichi Yamadera as God of Destruction Beerus and Masakazu Morita as Whis.
Plot concept: Reuniting the franchise’s iconic characters, Dragon Ball Super will follow the aftermath of Goku’s fierce battle with Majin Buu, as he attempts to maintain earth’s fragile peace. Overseen by Dragon Ball’s original creator, Akira Toriyama and produced with Fuji Television, Dragon Ball Super will draw on its historic past to create a bold, new universe welcoming to fans and endearing to new viewers.
