We are kicking off 2011 with a pretty laid-back episode that has possibly too much laughing for our own good. Amongst the shenanigans you will also find a good deal of in-depth discussion regarding the recent announcement from Toei and FUNimation that the Dragon Ball franchise will soon be streaming online, and we review (in …
It seems as if these are only just starting to make the rounds to retailer listings! Amazon Japan currently has pages for two new Dragon Ball Kai CDs, both due out the same day in Japan on 23 February 2011, and both of which have heavy implications for the fate of the “refreshed” version of …

As a minor aside and follow-up to our previous podcast episode examining Dragon Ball SD, while nothing official has been confirmed, there does not seem to be any indication that it will be anything more than the single chapter in this month’s debut issue of Saikyō Jump. The quarterly magazine’s plans for March do not …
Sadly, another veteran voice actor has also passed away, unfortunately joining greats such as Hirotaka Suzuoki and Daisuke Gōri. Takeshi Watabe passed away this month at age 74. While certainly a big name in the field, his contributions to the Dragon Ball franchise were limited. Perhaps his most well-known role was that of Panbukin in …
