As you may already be aware, we’re getting close to the last of the individual DVD releases of Dragon Ball Z in Japan. So happily, if not surprisingly, there is more where that came from. Courtesy of forum-goer Payne222, there is an ad in “Weekly Jump” #6-7 that announces the individual DVD relase of the …
We have some late-breaking news for you this evening, hot off the pages of the “Weekly Shōnen Jump” hitting newsstands this coming Monday. On the title page for “One Piece”, it was announced that OP author Eiichiro Oda will be doing a joint manga with his (and our) idol, Akira Toriyama. This manga will be …
If you have been keeping track, you might have noticed that the release date for the Japanese Dragon Ball GT “Dragon Box” DVD box set is fast approaching, without so much as a “GT DVD set release coming up real soon” update. Actually, there is good reason for this — it has been delayed. As …

Remember how it kept getting pushed back repeatedly at CDJapan, to the point where some of us were beginning to suspect they were just making it up? Ever wonder what happened?
