Episode #0198! VegettoEX, Hujio, and Corey review FUNimation's first Dragon Box! Nearly three years after the first faux-"remastered" debacle of a release, do we finally have reason to change our tune with regard to a home release from FUNimation? Were our wishes truly granted? Meri pops in to cruise through the news, releases, and contest information, and that rounds out a show!

Episode #0197! VegettoEX and Meri review the new PS3 and 360 game, "DragonBall: Raging Blast". Does Spike's first high-definition offering live up to and exceed the prior series, or should fans looking for the best "DBZ-simulator" on the market just stick with "METEOR"...? No news, but November's releases, your e-mails, and contests to give away "Raging Blast" and a Dragon Box round out the episode!

Episode #0196! VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and Jeff dive in to Volume 31 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". Cell has made his presence known, and our heroes have become outclassed just as fast as they became the strongest. Do we finally have an interesting villain for the story arc, or is everything just a little too convenient and confusing? Dragon Boxes are arriving, other news catching-up, November's continued releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Episode #0195! VegettoEX and Meri review "Revenge of King Piccolo" for the Nintendo Wii. We finally get a console release that is something other than a fighting game, but does it cure the itch we have all been cursed with? A little bit of news, November's cram-packed releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Episode #0193! VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and Jeff all dive into Volume 30 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". It's another volume full of exposition, but is Toriyama pulling it all together in a coherent fashion, or are there too many characters doing too many things? Lengthy commentary on FUNimation's final details for their own Dragon Box audio tracks and the manga being pulled from a Maryland school library round out the rest of the episode, with a little bit of releases and e-mails to finish it off.

Episode #0192! VegettoEX and Meri cram out a short episode to catch up on some music release news and cover October's releases. A couple quick thoughts on some other current items and a short lesson about redbook audio round out the episode!

Episode #0191! VegettoEX and Julian review the "POWER OF DREAMER" CD single and the "DragonBall Kai" Original Soundtrack. Have we gotten the best b-side in years, and despite our feelings on "DragonBall Kai", does its soundtrack somehow manage to stand on its own? Tons of news (including several delays) and your great e-mails round out the episode!

Episode #0190! VegettoEX and Meri bring on Jeff and Scott to talk about ethics in fandom. Things have changed a great deal since the days of VHS fansubs, but with the franchise finally slipping into the modern distribution era with "Kai", questions on how to conduct yourself as a fan have never been more relevant. September's releases, your great e-mails, and a full catch-up on donation item namings round out the episode!

Episode #0189! VegettoEX and Meri discuss the first arc of "DragonBall Kai" with Heath and Corey. After such a huge lead-up to this "refreshed" version of the DBZ TV series, was it all really worth it in the end? How do we feel about it now, and what are we looking forward to, if anything? Julian joins in for the rest of the episode to run through the news, September's releases, and some fantastic e-mails.

Episode #0188! VegettoEX and Meri bring on Herms from Kanzentai to discuss the concept of "sento ryoku" in the DragonBall series. Battle powers, power levels, combat strength... whatever it is you want to call them, they have become an important part of fandom and its culture. Are they really that significant in the grand scheme of the series, though? And where did this concept even come from, in the first place? "Raging Blast" news (including SSJ3 Broli), the rest of August's releases, your questions, and much more rounds out the episode!

Episode #0187! VegettoEX and Meri split up the episode's recording and bring on all sorts of guests to discuss things. Hujio stops by to recap the week's news, while KaiserNeko pops in to give us an update regarding the Toei and YouTube mass-takedown. Finally, Jeff joins us to finally review the Bardock DBZ TV special after seeing it for the first time. Does it hold up nearly 20 years later, and particularly to someone mostly familiar with only the manga? August's releases, your e-mails, and other great stuff rounds out the episode.

Episode #0186! VegettoEX and Meri finally get around to reviewing "DragonBall Evolution" for the PSP.

Episode #0185! VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and Jeff dive into volume 29 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". Toriyama has genuinely kicked-off a new story arc... but not without some input from his previous editor. Are we being kept on our toes, or is Toriyama writing himself into a hole? More FUNimation Dragon Box reactions, August's releases, tons of great e-mails, and more round out the episode!

Episode #0184! VegettoEX and Meri bring on Heath (Kanzentai) and Marc (The Fanboy Review) to discuss FUNimation's announcement of "Dragon Ball Z" Dragon Box sets for North America.

It's a special episode dedicated entirely to the most comprehensive history lesson and speculation you can imagine!
