Kanzenshuu Reflections in Light of Giant Bomb’s Upcoming Transitional Period
I’ve always been a pretty casual “fan” of Giant Bomb: primarily a Bombcast (and later Beastcast) listener, and rarely a viewer of any video content. That… probably sounds bizarre considering what their primary output is, but I guess I’ve just always been a text-and-audio person, even when it comes to commentary on a visual medium.…

The Great Canonical Debate
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This blog post was written in late 2011, about a year before Battle of Gods and about three years before Dragon Ball Super. It’s a little rough around the edges in terms of writing, but in particular I’m rather proud of how SPOT-ON PROPHETIC it is… not in terms of calling us getting…

Why “Episode Of Bardock” Makes So Much Sense
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This blog post was written in 2011, two years before Battle of Gods and four years before Dragon Ball Super. It’s a little rough around the edges in terms of writing, but I’m still happy with the overall approach and general points being made here! You heard the hesitancy as we started discussing…

Daizenshuu EX Plagiarism Redux
(I initially wrote much of this article back in March 2010, but held off on publishing it due to never receiving permission to re-publish an e-mail. I have decided to just go ahead with it. It helps set things in context, and is a great lead-in to some extra commentary based on some recent forum…

The Joke Lives On: VegettoEX is Appule
Many of you predicted it. With the release of Episode 17 of DBZ Abridged, the cat is completely out of the bag: I voiced Appule. I don’t even remember when it was that KaiserNeko and I first started talking about it — it was that long ago. It was something I was looking forward to…

Internet Persona (And Personal) Growth
I recently archived some of my earliest online endeavors. Some of them are filed away under lock so none of you will ever have a chance to see them. Some, like what I am about to share, are too cute to hold back. It is occasionally a good thing to look back at where you…

Otakon 2010’s Yūji Mitsuya Panel of Awesomeness
There are plenty of stories to share about this year’s Otakon, and rest assured that many more will make their way to either this blog or our podcast over on Daizenshuu EX. One story in particular is a combination of news and hilarity (and has pictures to go along with it!) so you can imagine…

Say It This Way ‘Cuz I Said So
I won’t lie. I sometimes lurk around other forums. There are only a couple I regularly keep up with (my own, the FUNimation DB forum section)… but there are a couple others I have bookmarked that I check in on every couple of weeks. I feel somewhat of a responsibility to keep up with what…

Prized Possessions: Nakao’s Autograph
We somehow lost our digital camera’s battery charger a while back. Since we buckled down and purchased a replacement one, I have been looking around for random things to take photos of. It is one of those cases where you do not know what you have until you have lost it… then you get it…

Behind The Joke: Appule
Regular fans of Daizenshuu EX no doubt have heard us drop Appule’s name in semi-sarcastic and humorous ways. It has grown into something of an “in-joke” over the years — it is funny enough on its own (“lolz random character”), but the way in which the joke continued to build upon itself adds a little…
