E111 – Dragon Ball Z Part 17



In which Cell learns Instant Transmission through osmosis.

The Cell Games reach their finale (well, if you can still call them the Cell Games), as Gohan ascends beyond the power of even a Super Saiyan. Meanwhile, Michael voices some frustration with the naming conventions of Dragon Ball Z arcs, Peter enjoys an episode-long beam struggle, and both hosts try to separate the Cell Games Saga from the rest of the arc.

Also included: disbelief at Vegeta’s claim that he’ll never fight again, Cell’s extended vomiting scene, a rare reference to mascot characters of a non-Burger King fast food restaurant.

Hamtaro Grab Bag will release on February 26th


E110 – Dragon Ball Z Part 16



Has Goku LOST HIS MIND!? Why sending Gohan in to fight Cell was the WORST decision in Dragon Ball Z!

The Cell Games begin, but not before Mr. Satan and his bootlickers get to show off how useless they are. Meanwhile, Michael appreciates the father/son dynamics between Goku and Gohan, Peter quickly loses patience for Mr. Satan’s nonsense, and both hosts are surprised at the quality of the last episode of the block.

Also included: Another argument for Hercule Satan actually being quite strong for a normal person, robo-gore, and Peter’s superhero origin story.

MS29 – Toriyama Anime Theater



It’s a grab-bag of Toriyama adaptations!

This week, we cover a variety of animated one-shots adapted from old, generally little-known Toriyama manga. Wonder why it’s little-known…

E85 – Dragon Ball Z Part 13



A new villain threatens our heroes, and also slurps up a bunch of random civilians. Welcome… to Cell!

Is Goku still sick? You better believe it! Meanwhile, Michael realizes why he liked certain villains in Dragon Ball Z more than others, Peter shares his affinity with Android 16, and both hosts consider that Trunks really isn’t all that interesting a character.

Also included: editing filler, Cell’s DNA donors, Krillin and Goku’s relationship.

E84 – Dragon Ball Z Part 12



The androids are unleashed, and they’re too powerful for even Vegeta to handle. Fortunately, they mostly seem interested in taking a road trip.

Dr. Gero’s creations wreak havoc on the roadways, with a little help from Vegeta. Meanwhile, Michael hopes that the relationship between Chi-Chi and Krillin is strained at best, Peter celebrates the departure of Marin, and both hosts dissect a particularly dire episode.

Also included: a consideration of the standards of old TV writing, the convenience of Dragon Ball Z, android road trip.

MS27 – Dragon Ball Super: Broly



GO, BROLY, BROLY, GO!

In the first Dragon Ball movie under the “Super” subheading, Akira Toriyama gives the fans what they want: the canonization of Broly, everybody’s favorite super saiyan, and a nearly hour-long fight sequence. What’s not to love?
