Having finished off the Cell Game in our regular “Manga Review of Awesomeness” monthly podcast segment, we decided that it was an appropriate time to review the second, self-contained filler arc in the Dragon Ball Z TV series: the Ano-yo’ichi Budōkai. The afterlife tournament takes place exclusively in the TV series, and provided some extra buffer time for the manga to trudge on forward. It has been many years since Meri and I saw these episodes, and like with the manga, Jeff was jumping in completely fresh. How did this five-episode story arc hold up for us?

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0233! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff dive into the Ano-yo’ichi Budōkai for a “Filler Review of Awesomeness”. The TV series was getting a little too close to the manga, so the second self-contained filler arc for the “Dragon Ball Z” TV series was given the green light. How does it hold up? All sorts of bizarre news from around the world, September’s releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.
