Episode #0504! Mike and Ken journey through the biggest hoaxes in modern Dragon Ball history. From fanart that escaped the clutches of its original artists, to purposeful (and sometimes long-term) bits of misinformation, we’ve seen it all! How well do some of these hoaxes hold up, and what will it take in the future to live up to their legacy?

Episode #0503! We start a brand new interview series talking with the staff members of Kanzenshuu itself! Julian is up first, so strap in for a trip back to 2002 as we prep the Daizenshuu EX relaunch and start honing those translation skills. We apparently recorded this episode five years ago, but it seems the more things change, the more they stay the same!

Show Description

Episode #0501! Mike, Ajay, and Tyson look back at the 2013 theatrical film “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods” with (somehow!) both a retrospective critical eye and a fresh perspective. Ten years removed and with multiple adaptations behind us, how does the original film version of the story hold up? What precedents did it set for the next decade, and what has the rest of the franchise still failed to recapture in all that time?
