Kanzenshuu – The Podcast

Your one and only Dragon Ball podcast!

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 #0187 — 16 August 2009

This week we had a semi-“all-star” cast come together to record different sections with me. Hujio from Kanzentai pops in to recap this week’s ridiculous amount of news, and KaiserNeko from TeamFourStar even stops by to give us an update from their end with regards to Toei’s mass-takedown situation with YouTube. Jeff then joins us to finally review the first DBZ TV special now that he has passed that point in our regular “Manga Review of Awesomeness” monthly topic. Similar to said topic format, we were able to get Jeff’s perspective as a total newbie who’s never seen the TV special before, which both compared and contrasted amazingly with Meri and myself. Your regular releases and e-mails finish off the gigantic episode! Download the show now, or head on over to the podcast page for more information or to subscribe.
