1. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0299 http://www.kanzenshuu.com/gene... download (audio/mpeg, 48.54Mb) Description: Episode #0299! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss a non-video game of omega proportions before digging into a history and profile of Katsuyoshi Nakatusuru. Perhaps best known for emulating Akira Toriyama’s art style to an uncanny degree, Nakatusuru was also solely responsible for the design of Super Saiyan 4 in "Dragon Ball GT", along with a wealth of other both subtle and significant contributions over the history of the franchise. Who was this man, how did he get started with the franchise, and how did he rise to such heights? |

2. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0298 http://www.kanzenshuu.com/gene... download (audio/mpeg, 34.72Mb) Description: Episode #0298! VegettoEX and Meri discuss whether the TV adaptation of "Dragon Ball" needs or benefits from a narrator. What does Jōji Yanami add to the collective package of an episode, and how does it affect the overall structure and perception of said episode? Could the recap be taken away and everything else still work? Two weeks worth of international news, releases, and your home video questions round out the episode! |

3. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0297 http://www.kanzenshuu.com/gene... download (audio/mpeg, 33.77Mb) Description: Episode #0297! VegettoEX and Hujio catch up on listener questions this week. What is the best movie (and can that question even be answered)? Do the fight scenes dramatically drop in quality over the course of the movies? What is our favorite Toriyama art style? How has the franchise affected our (and other folks') lives for the better? Would a potential Toonami return even matter to us at all? This week's news, a new cover song from TheDelRe, and more wraps up the episode! |

4. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0296 http://www.kanzenshuu.com/gene... download (audio/mpeg, 41.51Mb) Description: Episode #0296! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss a little bit of international news before taking it over to an interview with Jerome Mazandarani, Manga Entertainment's Head of Marketing and Acquisitions. The "Dragon Ball Z" TV series is finally seeing a home release in the UK, but what took it so long to come out, and where can the series go from here? |
||
|
5. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0295 http://www.kanzenshuu.com/gene... download (audio/mpeg, 32.56Mb) Description: Episode #0295! Hujio and Corey discuss Akira Toriyama's creative process, from how he drew the "Dragon Ball" manga series during its serialization to his current drawing methods. Many fans attribute the changes in Toriyama's artistic style to the differences in his drawing methods, such as the addition of a computer to digitize his manga, but are these methods really all that different from one another? Can the addition of a computer really make that much of a difference? |

6. Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0294 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/K... download (audio/mpeg, 24.64Mb) Description: Episode #0294! VegettoEX and Meri discuss what it was like to be a fan of the "Dragon Ball" franchise in 1997 when "Final Bout" for the PlayStation hit store shelves. While we technically had one game for the franchise released a decade prior, to most American fans, we were playing a DBZ video game for the first time. How did fans actually view the game? Did anyone from any country ever have a chance to experience a "Dragon Ball" game in the same way ever again? |

||
|
8. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0293 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 65.36Mb) Description: Episode #0293! VegettoEX, Meri, and man of many Internet names, Lance (or Gaffer Tape or MistareFusion) deconstruct the character of Vegeta. From his initial introduction through the end of the series, and despite being just another villain in a long line of them, he is always written completely differently than any other character in the series. What makes this guy tick? Did he serve his purpose in its entirety by the end of the Freeza arc, and did Toriyama successfully reinvent him well enough to last the rest of the series? |
||
|
9. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0292 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 27.28Mb) Description: Episode #0292! VegettoEX, Julian, and Hujio join the cast of The Unofficial One Piece Podcast for a special Anime Fans Give Back fundraising session. Catch up with the two groups, current watchings and readings, favorite characters, and how last year's disaster (along with Kenji Yamamoto) so heavily affected the franchise in Japan. Meri joins in to also announce the winner of our "Saikyo Jump" (and bonus DVD) contest! |
||
|
10. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0291 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 37.30Mb) Description: Episode #0291! VegettoEX, Hujio, and Herms discuss a pretty full week of news before moving into a biography and in-depth discussion of Minoru Maeda. The first name that comes to mind with our favorite franchise is obviously Akira Toriyama, but most fans (especially those of the anime) do not seem to realize that more often than not they are viewing something that Maeda touched or supervised in at least some capacity. Just who is this man, and what are some of his most important works? |
||
|
11. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0290 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 45.90Mb) Description: Episode #0290! VegettoEX, Meri, and Hujio dive into some more crazy Kinect news before covering the March 2012 "Saikyo Jump" bonus DVD. Especially at such a cheap price, just how does this package fare? We then turn it over to an extravaganza of your listener questions! Everything from favorite story arcs, to the spark that defines Toriyama's writing, to abandoned characters is covered, along with less important items such as the Official Daizenshuu EX Band. |
||
|
12. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0289 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 40.92Mb) Description: Episode #0289! VegettoEX and Julian cover two weeks worth of fascinating news (FUNimation Dragon Box survey, upcoming "Episode of Bardock" reprint, and more!) before diving in to the "Dragon Ball Online" timeline. Thanks to Herms' new translation, we have a pretty detailed back-history for the game in English. Does it tell a compelling story, and does it make us want to hunker down and actually play the darn thing? |
||
|
13. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0288 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 60.80Mb) Description: Episode #0288! VegettoEX and Julian catch up on a thankful lack of news before Herms pops in for a Dr. Slump primer. Who are the characters that show up during the Red Ribbon arc crossover, and is it possible to reconcile some of the plot holes and continuity errors introduced to put Dr. Slump and DragonBall in the same universe? |
||
|
14. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0287 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 33.15Mb) Description: Episode #0287! VegettoEX, Meri, and Hujio discuss the unexpected suspension of FUNimation's HD restoration work on the DBZ TV series. Within a six month period the project was announced, heavily hyped, saw two releases, and was unceremoniously killed off. What exactly just happened...? Our in-depth analysis and your thoughts take us through the episode! |
||
|
15. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0286 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 16.48Mb) Description: Episode #0286! VegettoEX and Julian check in on the two major cover songs from 2011 (a version of "We Gotta Power!" by Tokyo Future Boys and a version of "Boku-tachi wa Tenshi Datta" by Sasaki Sayaka with a little help from Hironobu Kageyama). Do either of them stand up to some of the other great cover songs we have had in recent years, or are they both just a little too safe? A little bit of DBGT follow-up and the mass delusional cover-ups of the Dragon World human race round out the episode. |
||
|
16. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0285 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 27.85Mb) Description: Episode #0285! VegettoEX, Meri, and Hujio discuss a short scene from DragonBall TV episode 56 that essentially paints General Blue as a pedophile. Was this just a poor attempt at humor that fell flat, or is it worthy of additional analysis and condemnation? New merchandise in Brazil, the launch of DBGT on Nicktoons (the kids will be OK, we promise), and more rounds out the episode. |
||
|
17. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0284 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 42.43Mb) Description: Episode #0284! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff dive into our second "DragonBall GT Review of Awesomeness" with episodes 6-10. After some brief battling, we are back to exploration and adventure with a little bit of dancing thrown in for good measure. Are the whimsical episodes enough to propel us through some early foreshadowing, or has the writing already taken a dive? News about the upcoming Saikyo Jump bonus DVD, the winter release season, and a whole lot more rounds out the episode. |
||
|
18. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0283 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 36.02Mb) Description: Episode #0283! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian ring in the new year with a look back at the past twelve months. None of us could have predicted what 2011 would bring us: a music fiasco with "DragonBall Kai", a new Blu-ray transfer from FUNimation, an all-out Bardock media assault, and so much more. How did our predictions from last year turn out in light of all these major stories, and what do we (and you!) think is on tap for 2012? Here's to 14 years of Daizenshuu EX, and another gazillion more with our favorite franchise! |

VegettoEX, Meri, and Hujio review the anime adaptation of "Episode of Bardock" from Jump Festa 2011.

"Ultimate Blast" Japanese launch details, new cover songs, and your thoughts on "Episode of Bardock" round out the episode! |

VegettoEX and Hujio cover a tiny bit of hilarious-yet-confusing Korean political forecast news (yes, all based around DragonBall) before diving into an endless ocean of listener questions.

VegettoEX, Meri, Jeff, and Kaboom dive in to our first DragonBall GT Review of Awesomeness! With the manga review complete, it is time to take a grand tour into a manga-less story. Just how involved was original author Akira Toriyama, does Toei set the stage well with how he left the characters, and just how interested are we to see where this story is heading? Big news about online streaming and the upcoming "Episode of Bardock" anime adaptation, the announcement of our Blu-ray contest winner, and your thoughts on DBGT round out the episode! |
||
|

VegettoEX and Hujio dive in to "Level 1.1", the first Blu-ray release of the non-Kai-ified DBZ TV series from FUNimation. Does the timing of this release make any sense, and is it a worthwhile purchase, especially for fans of a series with so many sequential "definitive" versions? Listener thoughts on "Ultimate Tenkaichi", and a reminder about our Anime USA plans wrap up the episode! |
||

VegettoEX, Dustin, and Joe dive in to "Ultimate Tenkaichi", the latest fighting game for the franchise. Spike is back for a third round on the PS3 and 360, but they are switching things up more than ever before. Is this a fighting game, or is it actually just a glorified guessing game? Hujio pops in for the news and loaded November and December releases period, and that is a show! |
||

VegettoEX and Herms break down everything demonic in the Dragon World! From demons to Dracula, from ghouls to ghosts, from phantasms to fantastic puns, anything and everything having to do with opposing the progress of humanity in the series is broken down. Where do these words and classifications come from in the first place, and how does Toriyama play with them to create such an interesting world and extended universe in our favorite franchise? |
||

VegettoEX, Julian, Meri, and Jeff dive into the 42nd and final "Manga Review of Awesomeness". After more than four years, we have made our way to the final volume of the series.

Our own thoughts on the recurring segment, tons of thoughts from the audience, and our grand plans for post-manga reviews wrap up the episode! |
||

VegettoEX and Meri, in light of what appears to be a fantastic opening to "Ultimate Blast" due out this month, take a look back at all of the major video game openings the franchise has received over the years. From the 32-bit generation up through today, there have been a lot of highs and lows. Are the classic ones still the best of all time? A surprise return of the Top 5 list reveals what Meri considers the lousiest video game openings! |
||
|

From the manga to the TV series to the guide books to the various other adaptations and reference materials, what is said about where the come from and how they evolved? What types of plot holes are created, fixed, and then broken all over again by the increased amount of information tossed out there? Does any "fact" stay consistent throughout the entire series at all? |
||
|
30. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0271 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 35.44Mb) Description: Episode #0271! VegettoEX and Julian review "Episode of Bardock", the three-chapter spin-off manga by Naho Ooishi published in V-Jump this summer. Penned as a sequel to the Bardock TV special, Ooishi gets a little more of a chance to shine with a quasi-original story as opposed to her usual retreads. Is this the true legend of the Super Saiyan that we have all been curious about for so many decades, or is it just another fluff piece of media that we can all casually pass over without missing much? |

VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and Jeff all dive in to Volume 41 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". With just two volumes left to go in the series, these chapters are jam-packed with all sorts of transformations, hero swap-outs, and even still a bit of character development! Is Toriyama's whimsy still at its best, or are we about ready to close the book on this series? |
||
|
33. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0268 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 19.95Mb) Description: Episode #0268!

VegettoEX and Hujio discuss FUNimation's recent announcement that the DBZ TV series is coming to Blu-ray this year. Will this be another fiasco using 2007's orange brick masters, or does FUNimation have something else up its sleeve? How will these products compare to everything else that is out there, including other versions of these same episodes sitting alongside them on store shelves? Also, who exactly will these new sets be aimed at, especially with Dragon Box releases coming to a close? |
||
|
36. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0265 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 54.82Mb) Description: Episode #0265! VegettoEX and Herms break down mistakes that appear in the most well-known guide books for the franchise (and our namesake!), the daizenshuu. Are they truly mistakes, though? What is actually wrong contradictory in the text, what is new information, and what have fans made up as false mistakes over time? Meri joins to banter about with what non-news there is, along with the rest of July's releases! |

A good week's worth of news and great e-mails round out the show. |
||
|
42. Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0259 http://daizex.db-destiny.net/D... download (audio/mpeg, 44.27Mb) Description: Episode #0259! VegettoEX and Meri discuss ye' olden fansub VHS days. How did non-Japanese fans watch the series prior to any domestic release, what were the experiences like, and how did everything change once a legitimate and proper release came on the scene? Whether names like S. Baldric, E. Monsoon, Anime Labs, Ctenosaur, Project-X, NGN, or Pearl do or do not mean anything to you, this is the episode that explains it all! |
||

VegettoEX, Hujio, and Julian recap all the big news over the last two weeks. A new video game is coming later this year (despite the franchise continuing down the financial hole for Namco-Bandai), the 98th episode of "DragonBall Kai" will make its way to the home release as a bonus... the list goes on and on.

||
|

VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and Hujio discuss the second chapter of "DragonBall SD".

Herms joins us for part two of our discussion about Toriyama's intended endings to the series, this time from the Cell arc through the end of the Majin Buu arc. Did the author ever actually say he wanted to end the series during any point within these two story arcs? |
||

VegettoEX and Meri discuss a few news tidbits (such as the end of the "DragonBall Kai" TV broadcast in Japan) before turning it over to Herms for part one of our look at the "intended endings" to the series. Fans often claim that the author absolutely intended to end the manga with the Freeza story arc, but is this actually true? What evidence exists pointing to specific story arcs that could have served as the ending? |
||

VegettoEX, Meri, Hujio, and Corey are all in-house to discuss what the Hell just happened to "DragonBall Kai".
