It looks like we are finally going to get our Dragon Ball Z parody on “Robot Chicken”! In the commercials airing for this Thursday’s special holiday episode (Thursday/Friday at midnight), we clearly see Goku in both his orange and blue gi. Awesome.

Toei has revealed the covers for their next 3 DVDs of the Z Dragon Box individual disc release. Each of these discs will contain six episodes, covering episodes 37 through 54. These three DVDs are set to be released 11 January 2006.

Toei has unveiled what the actual “Dragon Box: The Movies” set will look like — it seems they will not be going with the image from DBZ movie 10 that they have been using for months as an advertisement. Though the image of Goku was used as promotional posters in Japan, most websites did not use it.

In addition to all this fun stuff, we got more information about the scouter transceivers. It seems that the Movie Dragon Box will come with two scouters for enjoyable conversations at great distances, as advertised on Toei’s site — it is pretty clear that these scouters are indeed simple walkie talkies.

As a reminder for those that still want to order the set, pre-orders end on 21 December 21 2005.

North American releases of the following games have been found on Gamestop.com:

It is about time that “Advance Adventure” finally sees a North American release! Most interesting is definitely the PSP game. Will it be a port of one of the previous “Budokai” games? Will it be a conversion of the arcade fighter “Super Dragon Ball Z? Who knows?!

As noted earlier, Banpresto’s upcoming arcade fighter “Super Dragon Ball Z” is created on the System 246 hardware, which is essentially an arcade version of the PlayStation 2.

In a post yesterday, IGN confirmed that “Super Dragon Ball Z” will indeed see a PS2 release! No set date has been given for the Japanese release (and nothing yet about an international release), but look for it in Spring 2006.

Big thanks to SplitNarcissist for the heads-up!

This week, Julian takes a much-needed break. In his place, Meri and our super-special-guest Scott Melzer tackle astonishingly interesting aspects of DBZ fandom. DBZ’s use in AMV and fan parodies is examined rather in-depth, and we drill Scott on just how big of a DB fan he really is…! The episode is slightly over an hour in length, so this one should keep you busy for a while! For more information (download link, other topics discussed, XML for subscription, etc.), visit our “Podcast” page.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0004! VegettoEX & Meri bring on Scott Melzer (This is Otakudom, S.T.E.A.M., This is DBZ Life) to talk about DragonBall’s place in other areas of anime fandom. From anime music videos to fan parodies, how is DBZ portrayed, how is it used, and what is it like to use it? What is it like to be a DBZ fan both on the creative and general-viewer end of things? We also drill Scott & Meri on all things favorite in DBZ!
