Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0295 Apr 15, 2012

Show notes

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?

Kanzenshuu - The Podcast: Episode #0294 Apr 08, 2012

Show notes

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?

Kanzenshuu - Special Kickoff Diary Episode Apr 01, 2012

Show notes

The ultimate fusion has arrived! Daizenshuu EX and Kanzentai have become "Kanzenshuu"...! Hear how it all got started, what you can look forward to, and what the evil webmasters have been plotting this entire time.

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0293 Mar 25, 2012

Show notes

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?

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0292 Mar 11, 2012

Show notes

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!

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0291 Mar 04, 2012

Show notes

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?

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0290 Feb 26, 2012

Show notes

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.

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0289 Feb 19, 2012

Show notes

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?

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0288 Feb 05, 2012

Show notes

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?

Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast: Episode #0287 Jan 29, 2012

Show notes

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!
