Norihito Sumitomo (the composer for the new Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods) recently stated that the new Dragon ball Z movie is planned to be released in over 40 countries worldwide. This was stated via his official website nearly a month ago, I have no clue how we missed this. This would also explain why it is nearly impossible to find a leak of this movie online, Toei Animation is being very tight when it comes to bootlegs of this movie. But this is good news everyone! This means we will most likely see Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods in theaters around the world such as North America and Europe very soon!
[quote]At last, it’s the opening of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. The content has plenty to enjoy for children of course, but even adults, as well. It is truly a global-scale work, which (is/will be) shown in 40-plus countries around the world. By all means, please get yourselves out to the theater. You definitely won’t regret it. Please [check out] the soundtrack, too!

In a recent interview with FUNimation’s Sean Schemmel (Goku), it was confirmed that they are indeed currently working on the continuation of Dragon Ball Z Kai. Kyle Hebert (Adult Gohan) has also confirmed this via his Facebook account. Here’s the portion of the interview with Sean Schemmel confirming FUNimation’s involvement in Dragon Ball Kai : Buu Saga.
[quote]Tell us about some of the projects you have been involved in. What is your favourite project to date?
“Well of course, the Dragonball series has a special place for me in my heart, but there are other projects that were more “fun” for a number of reasons. Kappa Mikey comes to mind, which was a parody about anime. Recording both the audiobooks “Shit My Dad Says” and “I Suck At Girls” was a total blast to work on because those books are hilarious. But most recently getting to play [b]Batman/Bruce Wayne in the iPad game Batman The Dark Knight Rises[/b] by Gameloft was really really thrilling. I consider it a major career highlight. I’m currently working Yugioh Zexal and I am about to finish the Buu saga for DBZ Kai.”[/quote]

It's also worth noting that Kai won't be done in Japanese.

[b]WOOOOOOOOO![/B]

WAIT WAIT SEAN SCHEMMEL HAS BEEN IN A BATMAN GAME. WHY WASN'T THIS HIGHLIGHTED!

So is there an ETA for the North American screening?

DBZ Kai sucks so I'm not really interested in that. I just want to see an English version of the movie.
-
Cool. I'll probably go see it if it comes to a theater near me.

[quote]North America.[/quote] Please also have FUN doing the dub. I can't stand Ocean Dub's voices. They are the 3rd worse dub I have heard so far.
