Well, it has been an interesting month, to say the least. In the last month we've had 3 family funerals, our daughter has been suspended twice from riding the bus due to unbuckling and fighting, my boss has been on maternity leave with our department left in chaos, and our country is just...

It's that time of year again! The annual viewing of the best Christmas Special ever made.

Congratulations to @kanzenshuu.com on 20 amazing years of Kanzenshuu the Podcast!! Truly the most engrossing source of Dragon Ball information and entertainment around. Our podcast wouldn't exist without it as inspiration, and as such, we talk about it a LOT. 👇 youtu.be/PEJB7eS-CDc

Hey! I made a new AMV! It was in the Otakon 2025 AMV contest! 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=303a... Also: here's a whole bunch of words about it if you want to read! 📖 www.vegettoex.com/2025/08/12/n...

Just an hour to go…!

ONE WEEK COUNTDOWN! 7️⃣📅 We will see you at Otakon on Friday, August 8th, at 7:15 pm in the AMV Theater to present... *drumroll* Akira Toriyama - The World: A Multimedia Tour (of His Lesser Known Works) Chippo is excited to see you.

I haven't watch South Park in years, but damn did they go hard last night!

Reorganized the display case to make room for Daima figures!

What a depressing day to be an American...

Hahaha this is exactly how studying is going 🤣

Shueisha is collecting all 42 pieces from the 40th Anniversary Tribute "Dragon Ball Super Gallery" (originally used as Saikyō Jump back covers) for a (previously announced) tankōbon box set. Latest details: pre-orders run through August & it's out in February. 📖 🔗 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/05/09/n...

We respect your choice of worship on this, the most holiest of Dragon Ball days, simultaneously both Piccolo Day (kanzenshuu.com/manga/chp-153/) and Goku Day (kanzenshuu.com/2015/05/09/m...). Just watch out for the robots in three days, OK? Stay safe out there. (For real.)

He is risen! What? No, no. FREEZA. It's the 10th anniversary of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' so @vegettoex.bsky.social and @animeajay.bsky.social take one for the team as they revisit 2015's theatrical film. Podcast episode 520 is here! 👂🎙️📻👇 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/04/20/p...

I was informed today that it's only Tuesday, and I don't like that.

I feel like lately my goal has been to have as many on-going website projects at the same time as possible. Although it's really more that I'm trying to wrap up projects I started working on like 15 years ago, and they've just been sitting there... waiting.

As quickly as it started, Daima is over. Join us for our opinions of the final episode, our revelations from binge-watching it, and our final say on the series as a whole. 👇 Watch or listen below! 👇 📺 YouTube: youtu.be/oSw_FZzlzEk 🎙️ Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7zbm...

Looks like @vegettoex.bsky.social has @roccobotte.bsky.social on the latest @kanzenshuu.com podcast episode to talk about DBZ In 5 Minutes, figures, music, and a whole lot more. Anyone know if real? 👂🎙️🔗👇 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/03/23/p...

Our "Cast Guide" has been overhauled! Info on cast credit structures, more organized profiles, + our giant database of cast credits (now updated to include original video game characters, cast credits from the Super Dragon Ball Heroes promotional anime, and now also current up through Daima). Nice!

I stumbled across this, because I'm a huge Cory Wong fan, and now my worlds have forever collided. If you're a #Daima fan, be sure to stick around for the last song! youtu.be/3XENIq1qGFg?...

Man, look at those nice numbers... 😍

Here we go...! Complete "Dragon Ball Daima" series review podcast with @vegettoex.bsky.social, @detectivex.bsky.social, and @animeajay.bsky.social. 👂🎙️🔗👇 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/03/12/p...

Missing you a lot today. 1 year since Toriyama passed.

"Dragon Ball Daima" Japanese Home Video Release Coming July 2025 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/02/28/d...

Time for another spotlight from our new FAQs section: Super Saiyan 2's name and translation history! From the early "Grade V" blurb, to additional manga citations, to inconsistent video game spellings... we cover it all! www.kanzenshuu.com/faqs/super-s...

It only took 21 days into 2025 for us to meet the out-of-pocket maximum for our high deductible health insurance. I'm getting the impression that medical expenses really aren't that cheap in America... 🤪🫣

I know some aren't too into Daima, but honestly (as I lay in bed watching this week's episode), it's exactly what I need right now with everything else going on. I really don't know how I'm going to feel when it ends. 😥

Was just talking to a close friend, who has worked for the federal government since college, when they received an email from the current administration encouraging said individual to move from their "lower productivity job" in the public sector to a "higher productivity job" in the private sector.

Man, there is just not enough time in the day to get things done. Let me tell you.

Time for another spotlight from our new FAQs section: the "J" in "SSJ"! From early English-language fandom usage (including text summaries and VHS fansubs), to other international dubs using "Saiyajin" intact, we explain it all! www.kanzenshuu.com/faqs/ssj/

We spent an hour and a half sitting in our running car last night out in the driveway as the fire department went through our house. The carbon monoxide detectors woke us up around 11pm from a gas leak in the basement. Fun times.

Routine site maintenance is fun. 🫣

I'm just avoiding any news today like it's the plague. Please only send me silly Dragon Ball things. Thank you.

Updating the animation database, since I'm two episodes behind, and enjoying a nice sip of whiskey. This is my Zen.

swing and a miss

@meritot.bsky.social Happy Birthday Meri! I know at our age we don't get too crazy anymore, but do try to enjoy yourself today. 😜

I did not have working on GT episode pages on my bingo card for things I'd do today. But here we are...

N'cha!

Bsky buddies! Trouble tracking down a specific interview quote? Things to try: 🧵 1️⃣ Make sure you're on our actual website in the Translations section (kanzenshuu.com/translations/), not our forum. We love our forum, but it's not the site! 2️⃣ Filters! Sort by release type, year, title, format, etc.

By the end of #Daima it will turn out that Pilaf has been the rightful ruler of the Demon Realm from the very beginning. I'm calling it now! 😜😁

November 20th is Dragon Ball's anniversary! 40 years ago today, the first chapter debuted in the 1984 No. 51 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. These days, everyone seems to know that November 20th is the date, but that wasn't always the case. Let's chat about release dates!

As a father of a special needs child and husband of a teacher, this just makes me sick to my stomach. And on top of that, I can't wait until my health insurance no longer covers my daughter's pre-existing conditions. Thanks guys! Much appreciated... 😢 x.com/DavidShuster...

mood today

When your own website is mocking you. 🙄

I cannot express how gratifying it is when your first attempt at scripting something works the very first time. It's especially rewarding when you've had other scripts take hours to troubleshoot just to figure out you randomly miss-placed a single period or semicolon somewhere in 500 lines of code.

Podcast Alert! 🎙️🚨 Episode 514 is here with @vegettoex.bsky.social and @hujio.bsky.social checking in now that Daima has launched. The loss of Toriyama still feels so raw. It’s a bittersweet time for sure! www.kanzenshuu.com/2024/10/27/p...
