Episode #0107 of the podcast is available for download! We took it back to a character-specific topic, and again focused on the changing voices of that character. Unlike Cell, for example (where Norio Wakamoto remained through all transformations), this character doesn’t really have voice changes due to transformations… rather, the original seiyuu passed away in 1995, and several others have stepped up to take over the role. Who are we talking about…?!?

That’s right! Kame-Sen’nin has been played by Kouhei Miyauchi, Hiroshi Masuoka, Masahara Satou, and Kinya Aikawa. Check out the episode for examples and our thoughts on all voices, as well as a recap of the ridiculous amount of news from the week. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0107! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian discuss the mainy voices of Kame-Sen’nin! After Kouhei Miyauchi passed away in 1995, Hiroshi Masuoka took over as the official replacement. Why did Masahara Satou and Kinya Aikawa also randomly step in to play the character, though? More live action movie and Atari news than you can shake a stick at, a trip around the world for even more news, and your e-mails round out the episode.
