An Irrefutable Episode Guide?

Post by DaemonCorps » Thu Mar 27, 2008 12:58 am

I know kanzentai.com's working on a pretty awesome episode guide for Dragon Ball, and even daizex.com has its own little episode guide for GT, but is there some kind of central guide that people can go to to refer to episodes from all three series? Yes, I'm aware of wikipedia's entries, but with all the heat people (mainly my teachers) give wikipedia, I'm kinda hesitant about their information.

I'm curious about all this mainly because I've tried my hand at cleaning up the DBZ guide on tv.com and noticed that their notes for the Japanese Air Date for the episodes differ with Wikipedia's after the jump into year 1990.

Wiki's got the episode ("Gohan, Defeat Your Dad!") listed at Jan 16, 1990, while TV.com has it at Jan 9, 1990. I'm kinda leaning toward TV.com being wrong (I mean, that's why I'm cleaning it up, after all), but I just want to make sure which source (if either) is right before I make any changes that I might regret.

Daizenshuu 3 lists that episode (73, right?) as airing Jan 9, 1990, just like TV.com says. Jan 16 was the air date for episode 74.

I don't know of any Dragon Ball/Z/GT episode guide that is both good and complete. Daimao's one famously stops mid-way through Z, while as you said, Daizenshuu EX only has one for GT.

Right now I'm pretty close to done with translating Daizenshuu 2 for Kanzentai, so the next one up is 3, the first Animation Guide. This has a complete episode guide for Dragon Ball and has one for the first 74 episodes of Dragon Ball Z. It includes air dates, key staff members, and about a paragraph in way of a summary for each episode.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

In the Complete Anime Guide for DBZ (the book with this cover), it is listed as being January 9th also. This book is the most recently printed material with Japanese airdates, I think. For what it's worth there you go.
