[UPDATED: Jadwal Tayang Diumumkan] Why is Dragon Ball Super: Broly not showing in Indonesia?

Dragon Ball Z is an anime that is very familiar to everyone, especially Indonesians. For us, DBZ is an unforgettable childhood friend. Even when the anime continued to Dragon Ball Super, many fans in Indonesia still watched it.

Yep, the intergalactic turmanent is over but Toei Animation and his colleagues have made a movie for Goku, Vegeta, and Broly who are legendary Saiyan people. But unfortunately, DBZ lovers in Indonesia cannot watch the film. From the news we got, the film was only released in 5 Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. There is no Indonesian name on it.

Therefore, Dafunda Otaku wants to reveal why Dragon Ball Super: Broly does not air in Indonesia. Hopefully this will be a lesson for us and those who claim to be otaku in Indonesia.

Indonesia is blacklisted by studios or licensors

The most plausible reason why Dragon Ball Super: Broly was not released in Indonesia is because it was blacklisted. Why was it blacklisted? Do you still remember the stupid people who live IG in theaters with the excuse of just wanting to share? Even CGV Blitz made an open letter about the hijacking.

What we want to say here is that there are still many otaku who think pirated anime is okay. This is perhaps what made the makers of DBS Broly not want to release the film in Indonesia.

There will definitely be Indonesian Otaku who say, “They can’t possibly lose, the film is released everywhere.” Yes, DBS Broly has indeed been released in almost 40 countries. Talking about the disadvantages, we also cannot reveal it because this film has only been broadcast for two days.

But what is clear, the studio has thought carefully. It is not only a matter of loss, they must take into account which countries can make a profit. And of course Indonesia is not included in it, because in fact it prefers pirated goods.

The anime distributor in Indonesia has yet to set a release date

Let us look forward to this second. The second reason why Dragon Ball Broly doesn’t air in Indonesia is because the distributor hasn’t set a release date yet. From the information we got from one of the Indonesian anime distributors, they can’t be sure. It’s still ambiguous, but we think positively and think that DBS Broly will have a chance in Indonesia.

We say this because, until the beginning of December, there are still anime movies showing on Indonesian cinema networks. Call it Natsume Yujincho: Utsusemi ni Musubu which airs November 26 and Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai which is likely to air at the end of December to be precise on the 26th.

But looking at the average release schedule at the end of December for Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia is unlikely to be that far behind. Just pray, Dragon Ball Super: Broly airs in Indonesia.

Check out the image below! Which film lover will not be hurt if a film with a rating of 9.9 on IMDb does not air in Indonesia. This article does not say we are holy you are full of sin. But we hope to at least support anime (which is said to be loved by Indonesian otaku) by watching anime movies that are released in theaters.

We know that there are still many anime lovers who hope and are willing to sacrifice a little to be able to watch the anime they love. Thank you!

UPDATE! Dragon Ball Super: Broly has got an official broadcast schedule in Indonesian theaters!
