Kanzenshuu - The Original Dragon Ball Podcast

Episode #0392! VegettoEX and Kirbopher trek through a sea of Dragon Ball music composers in an attempt to answer the big question: what defines Dragon Ball music? Is it the instrumentation or the raw compositions? What aspects can be found in each different musical score? Join us for an in-depth look!

Episode #0391! VegettoEX and Julian reflect on ten years of the podcast. What were the big stories from ten years ago, what products had not even been released yet at that time, and what was going on in fandom? We also discuss what the podcast has meant to the website and to our own lives! Join us for a bit of self-indulgent reminiscence.

Episode #0390! VegettoEX and Hujio hold nothing back as they criticize fandom's response to a "Dragon Ball Super" English dub announcement for Asia. We also track the entire story behind a major news item mistranslation: there was no new movie announced for a trilogy of films during a convention in Spain, and the evidence is right there on the table for anyone to analyze.

VegettoEX joins Kirbopher to discuss the first arc of the "Dragon Ball Super" TV series. How does the story-telling, animation, musical score, etc. hold up to prior Dragon Ball productions, and what does the future hold for the series?

Episode #0389! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss the "Dragon Ball Super" manga by Toyotaro published in V-Jump each month. How does the series differ from the TV version in terms of pacing and content? What's the deal with Champa, and why has he still not been included in the TV series despite being fully integrated into the manga? Video game news and "Dragon Ball Super" updates round out our show!

Episode #0388! VegettoEX and Herms detail the Chinese name origins for many Dragon Ball characters, along with how to best represent their names with our English language alphabet. Who is this "Jiaozi" character and why would it be somewhat ridiculous to write the dragon's name as "Shenron"…? Tune in for a crash course in language adaptations!

Episode #0387! VegettoEX, Meri, and Hujio discuss FUNimation's English dub release of the 2015 theatrical film, "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'". Coming from their work on "Dragon Ball Z Kai" and "Battle of Gods", does the new movie's dub hold itself to the same level? A brief appearance from Chris Sabat also provides some insight on the voice casting and script!

Episode #0386! VegettoEX and Herms discuss the "Strength Checker", a forum thread dedicated to cataloging each and every manga statement relating to the strength or power of any given character. What purpose does such a reference serve, and what can we learn about our fandom from this?

Episode #0385! VegettoEX interviews Joey Weiser, professional illustrator and longtime fan responsible for the "Daily Dragon Ball" project. By forcing a daily project upon yourself, what can you learn about Akira Toriyama's art style and work ethic? Tune in for the interview, Bandai's latest video game news (including an innovative NFC card battle game), and more!

Episode #0384! VegettoEX, Hujio, and Herms discuss the first two episodes of the new "Dragon Ball Super" TV series!

Episode #0383! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss "Dragon Ball Super" as we sit less than a week out from its debut.

Tons of news and thoughts from you wrap up the show!

Episode #0382! VegettoEX and Herms discuss the reveal of "Champa" for "Dragon Ball Super" before diving in to early impressions of "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" for the Japanese Nintendo 3DS. While the new game invokes the old Super Famicom series, does it live up to the pedigree set by both the old games as well as 2011's "Ultimate Butoden" on the original Nintendo DS? Did Arc System Works deliver a technical masterpiece, or just phone it in on the portable space?

Episode #0381! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss "Dragon Ball Super" as we quickly approach its debut in July. After taking a look at the short preview trailer and official website updates, what is on the horizon for fans of the Dragon World, and is Toei truly taking advantage of the property they have?
