The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast Episode 7 Jun 06, 2012

Show notes

In their longest episode yet, Donovan and Jesse take on the lead up to the Ginyu Force arc by covering Zarbon vs. Vegeta, round 2, the convenience of palm-to-head power ups, and the greatest freakout in the history of freakouts EVER!...but that's not what you wanna hear about. You wanna hear the boys cover Bardock: The Father of Goku! And that's what's you're gonna get! For two solid hours, the guys go over the background of the special, the mysteries of Goku's mother, the weird absence of Raditz, the youthful rebellious nature of Vegeta, and of course...Bardock himself! But that's not all! Further topics include the video games, the preliminary Ginyu Force impressions, and the recent animated special Episode of Bardock! It's the largest episode to date for a reason, so sit back and enjoy!

The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast Episode #5 Apr 21, 2012

Show notes

In the wake of the Saiyan battle, many friends were lost without any hope of ever returning back to life.

Join Donovan and Jesse as they discuss on of the most seminal sagas in DBZ history! Among the discussion is the ever-changing fashion trends of the characters, the inconsistencies of intergalactic traveling, and a total shift in the dramatic narrative of DBZ thus far.

The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast Movie Special #1 Mar 15, 2012

Show notes

Putting the series on hold for the time being, Donovan and Jesse discuss the first two Dragon Ball Z movies, Deadzone and The World's Strongest! What follows is over two hours of Japanese children/women singing, bad guys getting away with using the Dragonballs, MAD SCIENCE, and the characters being more awesome than they generally are in the actual show. Further discussed is Goku's morality, Don's prejudice of the Funi Dub in preference for the Ocean Dub (a reversal of the usual opinion), where if at all the movies fit into continuity, and the greatest opening shot to a movie ever. Sit down with some popcorn, grab a seat next to the talking pig or the talking turtle, and get to downloading!

Show notes

The boys are back to tackle the finale to the Saiyan Saga, and what a finale it is! From the iconic Goku/Vegeta fight to the battle of the Great Apes, Donovan and Jesse finish it off with discussions on the backgrounds of both the Ocean Dub and the Funimation dub, the awesomeness of Vegeta, and the ending which divides the hosts. Also in this episode are comparisons to Transformers, SAIYAN SCIENCE, and a special surprise at the end of the review! The Saiyan Saga may be at an end, but the real fight and the podcast's coverage of it has only just begun...

The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast Episode #3 Feb 09, 2012

Show notes

The battle with the Saiyans is finally here, and Donovan and Jesse cover it all from top to bottom! From the many deaths of the Z-Fighters, to the awesome return of Goku, the guys go over initial first impressions of the fight, favorite moments of the series thus far, and as always...more wacky censor notes. All that plus discussion on the production of the Dragon Ball Z manga, the infamous "OVER 9000!!!" quote, and which version sells the drama of the Saiyan fight the most. Before any of that commences however, the guys respond to listener feedback and answer your questions!

The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast-Episode 2 Jan 13, 2012

Show notes

You know a series is good when someone who's familiar with the show gets tongue tied trying to describe it! That's what happens to Donovan, as he and Jesse cover the tumlutuous year of training that Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and the rest of the Z-Fighters undergo in preparation for the Saiyans! Among the oddities of this episode include an impromptu trip to Hell, anthrpomorphic and non-anthropomorphic animals alike, and a random game of Russian Roulette. All that plus more hijinks with the censors, talk about the fickle fanbase of DBZ, and the nuanced character development of a former enemy.
