Our “weekly” podcast, then named Daizenshuu EX – The Podcast, began in November 2005 as a new way to reach out to our audience, extend that audience, and simply have fun with the franchise we love so much. Though we updated the name to Kanzenshuu – The Podcast in April 2012 with the launch of this website, we remain the best, most authoritative, entertaining, and only Dragon Ball podcast you will ever need!

Each episode, the Kanzenshuu staff discuss the latest news in the world of Dragon Ball from across the globe before heading into a core topic — whether it be an in-depth discussion of the way in which the story and franchise was produced, theories for in-universe scenarios and “What If?” scenes, interviews with those actually involved with the franchise, thorough reviews of video games or home video releases, we have you covered! We wrap things up with the month’s upcoming releases, questions from the listeners, and much more! We regularly have contests, broadcast live (watch our Twitter and Facebook!), and have a great time sharing our love of the Dragon Ball franchise with you all each and every week.

Podcast Episode #0247 — 07 February 2011

When you hear the phrase “TV Special” it is likely that you think of either Bardock or Trunks from the alternate future timeline (or perhaps even Goku Jr.). What about white tuxedos, though?

You may not know it, but DBZ Movie 7 had its own TV special in 1992 that recapped all of the movies up to that point. In addition to all of the news and other regular content with Julian this week, our buddy Hujio joined us to talk about (the confusingly-named) Dragon Ball Z: The Three Great Super Saiyans – Special. Download the show now, or head on over to the podcast page for more information or to subscribe.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0247! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian recap all the big financial news and other shenanigans, as well as answer an e-mail about which in-universe story lines we would like to see expanded with future reference guides. Hujio later joins us to talk about and review the oft-forgotten TV special for DBZ Movie 7, occasionally referred to as the “movie overview special”.

On 03 December 2010, Shueisha released a new magazine called Saikyô Jump. Included in it was the debut of a new spin-off called DragonBall SD, which we have been tracking for a few weeks, now.

We discussed DragonBall SD on this week’s podcast episode, so tune in to find out if it is truly a fresh take on the franchise, or just another example of “been there, done that”.
