Another January has arrived, which means @kanzenshuu.com is another year older when you trace it aaaaall the way back to the technically-correct (the best kind of correct!) beginnings. 28 isn't necessarily a notable milestone number... but we're still here, and we think it'll be a pretty good year.

A new year brings a new compilation of nonsense: Here's all of the 2025 streaming highlights with the extended @kanzenshuu.com family strung together for two and a half hours of entertainment. New sounds were boarded, nearests were grabbed, and so much more. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kRr...

Well it's not a new TSAU episode, but if you're just missing hearing me talk about space, check out the latest Kanzenshuu episode and listen to me try to answer increasingly implausible Dragon Ball related questions about space!

One more podcast for 2025! Closing out the year, @vegettoex.bsky.social brings back JP from @thespaceabove.us for another round of space chat! Goku fixing a spaceship (?!), surviving on Namek, other suits & ships... it's another jam-packed space episode! 👂🎙️📻👇 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/12/28/p...

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.
