Kanzenshuu – The Podcast

Your one and only Dragon Ball podcast!

Our “weekly” podcast, then named Daizenshuu EX – The Podcast, began in November 2005 as a new way to reach out to our audience, extend that audience, and simply have fun with the franchise we love so much. Though we updated the name to Kanzenshuu – The Podcast in April 2012 with the launch of this website, we remain the best, most authoritative, entertaining, and only Dragon Ball podcast you will ever need!

Each episode, the Kanzenshuu staff discuss the latest news in the world of Dragon Ball from across the globe before heading into a core topic — whether it be an in-depth discussion of the way in which the story and franchise was produced, theories for in-universe scenarios and “What If?” scenes, interviews with those actually involved with the franchise, thorough reviews of video games or home video releases, we have you covered! We wrap things up with the month’s upcoming releases, questions from the listeners, and much more! We regularly have contests, broadcast live (watch our Twitter and Facebook!), and have a great time sharing our love of the Dragon Ball franchise with you all each and every week.

Podcast Episode #0167 — 08 March 2009

Episode #0167 of the podcast is available for download! Since the “Rule” CD single didn’t come in until recording day (which actually lets us do an all-Evolution episode next week), we decided to bring on prior guests Hujio and Corey to talk some more DragonBall Kai with us. We have all seen the new commercial and its selective re-framing on the cropping, and it’s safe to say that everyone has an opinion on the situation. Tune in to hear what’s going on and what the current situation is. Beyond that, we’ve got your regular news, releases, e-mails, and a ton more. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0167! VegettoEX and Meri bring on Hujio (Kanzentai) and Corey to discuss the most recent information and commercial for “DragonBall Kai” and all of its implications. There appears to be re-framed cropping going on, so how does this compare and contrast with FUNimation’s faux-“remastered” release? Random bits of news, March’s releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Podcast Episode #0166 — 01 March 2009

Episode #0166 of the podcast is available for download! This week we’re up to volume 25 in our “Manga Review of Awesomeness”. This was definitely a strange volume to analyze, but I think we ended up with some interesting points. In addition to that, we’ve got all the news you’ve come to enjoy (though nothing from today, as we recorded the show on Friday). DBZ ABCs, March’s releases, and even Meri’s Top 5 makes a brief return… all good stuff. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0166! VegettoEX, Meri, Julian and Jeff go through volume 25 in our “Manga Review of Awesomeness”. This one seemed like an awkward volume to go through, as the action just doesn’t stop and Goku is incapacitated right after (finally) arriving back on the scene. Does this hurt the volume’s enjoyment, though? DBZ ABCs, Meri’s Top 5, March’s releases, the obligatory “DragonBall Kai” news, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Podcast Episode #0165 — 22 February 2009

Episode #0165 of the podcast is available for download! This week we gave a little recap of all the huge news going on (in fact, I had to do a little break-away during the show’s editing to record a little extra based on today’s stuff). Sure, there’s no “topic” like our normal episodes, but that didn’t stop us from delving pretty in-depth with stuff. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0165! VegettoEX and Jeff end up doing another episode on their own, completely buried in news. What we thought were just a few tidbits about “DragonBall Kai” end up being an avalanche. Some other news like VizBig delays, a new French DVD boxset, and a few other items of interest keep things moving along. We happened to be streaming this episode live while we recorded, so we took some questions from the live audience to round out the episode!

Podcast Episode #0164 — 15 February 2009

Episode #0164 of the podcast is available for download! This week Meri and I discussed those few hints at “love” we see in the series, and the relationships that form this love. Trust me, you have to dig pretty deep to find this stuff in a shônen like DB, but there are some bits here and there. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0164! VegettoEX and Meri go it alone this week to discuss the (few) hints at love we have in the DB series. The various couples, the courting, the marriage… oh, it’s so romantic! Except it’s really not, so we have to dig pretty deep to find these hints. Little bits of news, February’s releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Episode #0163 of the podcast is available for download! This week we brought on our buddies Hujio and Herms from Kanzentai to discuss the biggest news of the last decade, which you’ve no doubt read below.

Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0162! VegettoEX and Jeff wind up doing a show by themselves to discuss volume 24 in our “Manga Review of Awesomeness”. Goku has finally returned to take center stage, and we keep getting hints about some kind of legend. The Freeza arc is full swing now, so is it holding its own or starting to drag on a little bit? Some brief news, February’s releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

DBZ ABCs, February’s releases, and your great e-mails round out the episode.
