Dragon Ball Z is the second anime adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Produced by Toei Animation and picking up where the original Dragon Ball anime series left off, Dragon Ball Z is adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the manga. It premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its predecessor's time slot, and ran for 291 episodes until its conclusion on January 31, 1996.
Following the canceled dub of Dragon Ball, Funimation Entertainment licensed Dragon Ball Z for an English language release in North America. For the dubbing of the series, The Ocean Group was contracted to produce an English dub track at Ocean Studios. Like the original dub of Dragon Ball, the Ocean Group's dub of Dragon Ball Z was heavily edited for content, reducing the first 67 episodes into 53. The dubbed episodes premiered in the United States on The WB in September 1996, though it was eventually canceled in May 1998. During the fall of the same year, the dub began airing on Cartoon Network as part of the channel's new Toonami programming block. Soon after, Funimation Entertainment continued dubbing the series from where the syndicated dub left off, now using their own in-house voice actors at Funimation Studios, a new musical score, and less editing. The new dub of Dragon Ball Z ran on Cartoon Network from September 1999 to April 2003.
In August 2004, Geneon Entertainment lost its licensing rights to the old Ocean Studios dubbed episodes of Dragon Ball Z, allowing Funimation to re-dub the first 67 episodes, restore the removed content and replace the old dubbing with the Funimation Studios voice cast. These re-dubbed episodes aired on Cartoon Network throughout the summer of 2005. The episodes dubbed by Funimation Studios also aired in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland. In 2006, Funimation Entertainment canceled the Ultimate Uncut DVD releases, remastered the episodes, then began re-releasing it across nine individual season boxsets. The first set was released on February 6, 2007; the final season on May 19, 2009. In June 2009, Funimation announced that they would be re-releasing Dragon Ball Z and the films in a new seven volume set called the "Dragon Boxes". Based on the original series masters with frame-by-frame restoration, the first set is due to be released November 10, 2009.
