Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Officially Gets Its First Streaming Home
Netflix Anime has officially announced that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, an upcoming anime remake of the acclaimed Dragon Ball Super series, will be available on Netflix in select international regions. The anime will debut in Japan on October 11, airing on Fuji TV with simultaneous availability on Prime Video Japan 30 minutes after each broadcast.
The announcement raises questions about the series’ broader global distribution strategy. Crunchyroll, which previously broadcast the original Dragon Ball Super anime, has not yet issued official statements regarding the remake’s availability on its platform, suggesting potential licensing complications or exclusive streaming arrangements that could fragment international access.
While Netflix has confirmed it will carry Dragon Ball Super: Beerus in certain territories, the company has not provided specific international release dates or a comprehensive list of regions where the anime will be available. This creates uncertainty for global fans awaiting the remake’s launch.
The streaming deal reflects the competitive landscape for anime content, with major streaming platforms vying for exclusive distribution rights to popular franchises. Netflix’s commitment to acquiring new anime productions underscores the growing strategic importance of anime content to major streaming services and the expanding global anime audience.
