    Hi @decadentrebel this is nothing important but you might help me clear this trivial thing out.

    I’m on a Dragon Ball groove recently, and tried looking up online when it first aired on GMA7. Two of your YT uploads (this and this) indicate 2000, which is the year I remember. Pero based sa isang uploader (vid) as of Dec 7 1999 may DBZ na sa GMA.

    I’m around 90% sure that Dragon Ball (not Z) episode 01 first aired on GMA back in Jan 3 2000 based on memory, pero no hard evidence online backs it up. I want to ask 2 one question:

    1. Do the VHS sources for your 2 uploads indicate the exact dates of recording? I just read the description for this, mid-2000s pala
    2. Is it likely that I’m misremembering the first air date, and the other uploader is correct after all?

      That video got the date wrong because Lupin and Flame of Recca aired in 2000, same as DBZ.

      Dragon Ball apparently aired twice in GMA. They originally re-aired the RPN dub (na English with Filipino dubbers) and then later (ito yung familiar ako) a brand new tagalog dub in 99.

        Actually that particular fandom wiki article also confused me earlier nung binasa ko, and actually led me to the vid upload with the questionable date 😁 Di ko namention sa original comment na isa rin yun sa reasons of posting ko.

        I guess I’ll have to concede with the wiki’s info (for now…)

        But thanks for taking the time to respond!

          That wiki is accurate albeit a little confusing and poorly-written lol. I’m not super duper familiar with dubbing lore myself so I usually consult with another guy (who I pass some of my recordings too so he can re-encode it using HD footage) and he confirmed that the dates are indeed correct.
