It seems that even the hard times are hitting Toei Animation, the company responsible for animating the Dragon Ball franchise, as Anime News Network (via animeanime.jp) is reporting that during a board meeting on Monday, Toei Animation has decided to change the positions of some of its top executives. Chairperson Tsutomu Tomari will effectively step …
Episode #0176 of the podcast is available for download! We apologize for the day-late-posting on it, but it’s a long holiday weekend for us… so that’s our excuse. This week we brought on Herms (and eventually Hujio showed up) from Kanzentai to discuss and totally dissect the two recent “Super Exciting Guide” books from Japan. …
In addition to the new Nintendo Wii game, Namco-Bandai will be bringing the latest Nintendo DS game to Europe, faithfully translated as (but dropping the “Kai” element), Attack of the Saiyans.

Dragon Ball Evolution, the American-made live action movie for the franchise released to theaters this past April, seems to be coming home 28 July 2009. Amazon’s listings for both the DVD and Blu-ray have this date, so it seems like a pretty safe call. Our buddy Marc over at The Fanboy Review also notes that …
Our forum buddy (and Sparking! METEOR non-apologist connoisseur) Innagadadavida is certainly keeping up on the other new game coming our way for the PS3 and 360, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast.

Now that a couple days have passed, a little more information has slipped out about the two new games on the DB-horizon. First up is the new game for the Nintendo Wii, titled 天下一大冒険 (Tenka’ichi Dai-Bōken), or The World’s Greatest Adventure. Our Korean forum buddy DongHyun even has some new images over at their website …
