Now that the Kanzenshuu staff have recovered from their food-induced comas over the holiday weekend, we thought we would bring you one more special gift: the other seven “Dragon Ball Children” essays. Like the first ten, they were included in special “Dragon Ball Information” pamphlets with odd-numbered volumes of the Kanzenban manga’s initial release, but …
For our American visitors, as well as the staff here at Kanzenshuu, yesterday was Thanksgiving: a day when we give thanks for what we have. We at Kanzenshuu are thankful for our family, friends, and site visitors, as well as the international continuation of Dragon Ball Kai, the upcoming film “Battle of Gods“, and the …
Mere days after Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo)’s cryptic tweets about finishing up a mysterious recording session, Mayumi Tanaka (Kuririn) has let slip via her blog just what exactly it was: a continuation of Dragon Ball Kai… with a hitch. 日本ではオンエアされないけど、 海外で続いてるドラゴンボール改 今、天下一武道会、悟天とトランクスが肩車で、 大人の部に混ざる辺りを収録しています。 やはり前より画像が綺麗です。 日本でもオンエアして欲しいなあ～～～と話しました。 真弓より It won’t be aired in Japan, but overseas, Dragon Ball …
Hot on the heels of our last update on the subject (less than half an hour in fact), Yūsuke Watanabe, scriptwriter of next year’s new Dragon Ball Z film, took to his Twitter account to clarify the timeframe, as pointed out to us by kei17 on the forums: @komori_mayo ありがとう！厳密にいうと原作漫画の「最終話」と「その直前回」の間です。ＧＴは原作にないからね～。[rest omitted] @komori_mayo Thanks! Strictly speaking, …
Since the official announcement this past weekend, fan speculation regarding the Dragon Ball Z film slated for next March has reached fever-pitch. Adding further fuel to the fire in the English-language fandom has been a follow-up post on Anime News Network the day of the announcement, claiming that the film will be set specifically during …
Well, it may be a week later than intended, but all video game songs from the 1990s (for the Super Famicom through the PlayStation and Sega Saturn) have been added to the “Lyrics” section. It may seem strange that even a 16-bit system would have had vocal music, but the majority of these (except for …
Here in Japan, it is already May 5th. And what better way to celebrate Children’s Day than with a video game-themed content update? All Dragon Ball video game songs from 2004’s Dragon Ball Z 2 onward have been added to the “Lyrics” section. While we had initially planned on bringing you this content earlier, we …
It is our pleasure to announce that the “Lyrics” section now contains all songs used in the Dragon Ball Z theatrical films, as well as all insert songs from the Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Kai TV series.

As noted by original lyricist Yuriko Mori on her Twitter account, a new commercial for Toyota’s “Sienta” model has begun airing in Japan.

The commercial …
Meri and Mike are off at Otakon, which means I am holding down the fort when I should really be asleep. However, a series of e-mails flooded my inbox, all from Mike. He is excited, and I am at least awake enough now to tell you that FUNimation is going to put out Dragon Ball …
