Tubi, the Fox Entertainment run free streaming service, has struck a deal with Toei Animation to bring some of the studio’s work to the platform. The deal includes shows such as Slam Dunk, One Piece and Dr. Slump.
Dr. Slump is an anime adaptation of a manga done by Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball (which the show sometimes crosses over with).
According to the press release, the version on Tubi will be the first time the show has been available to stream in the US with English subtitles.
Looking up the show online shows how hard it’s been to access, with fans talking about a not-well-done DVD release. Having it available to stream, especially for free, should make it easier for hardcore Dragon Ball fans to get a taste of some of its creator’s earlier work.
