Show notes

Episode #0399! VegettoEX and Herms break down "Majin" and the various ways it has been translated into English for the Dragon Ball franchise over the last several decades.

Why is that, and if we were to operate in a bubble with a new translation, where might we take it?

Show notes

Episode #0396! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss the new background lore recently introduced in "Dragon Ball Super" before turning their attention to criticism of the show. After coming off two movie re-tellings, and only having just gotten five episodes into a new story arc, how fair is it at this point to even be critical of the new arc at all? Which aspects warrant further discussion, and at what point do you have to give everyone the benefit of the doubt?

Episode #0394! VegettoEX discusses the process of adapting a name from "Dragon Ball" in Japanese to our alphabet and have it still make sense, sound the same, and do something to acknowledge or bring out its pun source.

Tune in for a bit of a behind-the-scenes lesson and learn a bit about some of the most difficult name spellings to adapt!
