This was the news 20 years ago! DB movie 2 was finally getting an uncut/bilingual DVD release from FUNimation (otherwise just dub-only VHS since 1998) as part of a box set… and Dragon Box: The Movies was also coming in Japan!

Exact same hardware that I was playing this game on 20 years ago. I don’t know why I later bought an American copy of the game — it’s not like I ever played that one!

Listening back to nearly 20 years ago and only slightly dying of embarrassment. It’s both better and worse than I remembered in every way. Julian is fully formed from moment zero.

Reposting from the Kanzenshuu archives: Handwritten notes for our first podcast episode back in November 2005 reviewing the first "Dragon Ball Z: Sparking!" ("Budokai Tenkaichi") video game on PS2.
