Hey, everybody. I wanted to check in because it's January now, and, since new videos don't just spring out of the ground the second I decide to start working again, it can look like a lot of time is passing without anything to show for it. Honestly, I have to remind myself of that when I come bac...

Dragon Ball Dissection begins its look proper at Dragon Ball Super. The first piece of media to officially come out of the pipeline was the manga retelling of Battle of Gods. It's a lean, streamlined version meant to promote the animated series, but is it so streamlined it no longer functions? Or...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! I'm not sure if we've ever had early access DBD December begin on Thanksgiving, but here we are! Dragon Ball Dissection December is here with the start of our look at Dragon Ball Super, that anime series that ended in 2018... or is it that manga series that went on ...

I'm hard at work with Dragon Ball Dissection December right now, but I didn't want to leave any loose ends for the year. Long after everyone has stopped caring, I finally release my initial thoughts on the last two episodes of Dragon Ball Daima! Buried due to crushing video release deadlines and ...

Dragon Ball Dissection has reached Resurrection 'F', a movie that is now, somehow, ten years old! It's always been my cheap shot joke, but is it really as bad as I remember? Does it still make me as mad? Is it really the gold standard of disappointment? What does Resurrection 'F' bring to the tab...

Just wanted to share with you that I'm putting the finishing touches on the Resurrection 'F' episode of Dragon Ball Dissection. This has been my white whale for ten years. I can't believe I'm finally here. It's a 27-minute-long video, and I still had to cut out a bunch that I hope to return to wh...

Oh, Zeo takes a look at two pairs of episodes that have EVERYTHING in common! When both shows have a monster who hacks everything, and both shows feature a baby who can destroy the city, how do I pick a winner? Does Power Rangers do it better by introducing a computer guru friend into the mix? Or...

Dragon Ball Dissection's look at Jaco the Galactic Patrolman comes to a close. After it develops its own idol-worshipping, rocket-chasing, time-manipulating story, it must justify its close connection to Dragon Ball. Why does Jaco fail to catch Goku? Who is Tights's famous family? What does this ...

Thank you so much for your patience. It's finally here, and I hope it's worth the wait! Over a decade after Donkey Kong 64, the Donkey Kong Country lineage returns.

So like I said in my post on Saturday, this video is not fully ready to release to you yet. I'm strapping in to get it done and polished this week. But here is 20 minutes of the video, which, hey, is about the length of a normal video from me anyway! Keep in mind that even this segment is not ful...

Hi, everyone! As you may or may not know, my next video is the Donkey Kong Dissection episode on Donkey Kong Country Returns. I've been working on it for a while. I was collecting gameplay footage for it several months ago. Over the summer I enlisted a friend to help me get multiplayer footage. A...

What do Goku's parents, Resurrection F, the Broli movie, and The Moro Arc all have in common? They all spring from ideas created in Toriyama Akira's series Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. This may not be Dragon Ball, per se, but it's required reading to understand ANYTHING going forward. More import...

Oh, Zeo continues with that time Kimberly breaks up with Tommy via letter so that the show can have an excuse to go on a ski vacation. What's that? Ohranger footage? Ehhhh, just throw it in wherever. Also throw in a VR Trooper, why not. It's time for the Power Rangers three-parter cobbled togethe...

It's surreal to think I'm actually here. Battle of Gods didn't even exist when I started making Dragon Ball Dissection videos. And now I'm finally here, in "modern" Dragon Ball. It's the beginning of Beerus, the beginning of new hair colors, and the beginning of what will become Dragon Ball Super...

Oh, Zeo continues our summer of movies with a look at the Ohranger movie that got turned into a regular old Power Rangers episode. Being light on story but heavy on action, does this prove to be the perfect thing for America to adapt? All that and Rocky sending the girl of his dreams running away...

Not to be outdone by Taiwan and Korea, the good old U.S. of A decided to try their hand at a Dragon Ball movie. How did it turn out? Well, um... hey, all of you angry commenters finally get a video where I say "Bulma." Aren't you excited? No, but for real, there's a lot to break down about this m...

It's actually been a really weird year, and I've struggled to keep up with my release schedule. I like to be pretty far ahead, but I'm barely making my release dates. I guess I gotta stop making the videos quite so long!<...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is turning 30, so this seemed like the perfect time to resurrect Mighty Morphin Zyurangers once more. We take a look at how the movie adapted Power Rangers to the silver screen, and also how it in turn was adapted back into the series that spawned it. What ...

It's the Dragon Ball Dissection I never knew I needed. Now that I've seen these movies, I don't know if my poor psyche can forget them. A cowboy Yamcha and a Kamehameha-firing Oolong are just the tips of the iceberg when creative forces unrelated to Dragon Ball try to make a Dragon Ball. But amid...

Oh, Zeo finally gets to the Zords! Everybody loves the zords. Guess which show builds up to this monumental event with a two-parter and which show crams it into a completely unrelated episode?

Oh, Zeo returns to talk about plants. And people turning into plants. And film technique. And Sailor Mars. And brothers who hate each other but actually love each other.

Dragon Ball Dissection returns to the late '90s and early 2000s, Japan's dead era of Dragon Ball. Perhaps it's not as dead as people thought, because while there wasn't a running Dragon Ball series, it did see Neko Majin, an irreverent Toriyama comedy that constantly wants to remind you that Drag...

Oh, Zeo presents a literal cliffhanger as its third match-up, and it's another combination that doesn't seem to mesh well. Billy struggles to get home from outer space, and a cop turns into The Borg from Star Trek. However, might these episodes have more in common than we think? It's an early vid...

We begin our look at Dragon Ball's dead era of the late '90s and early 2000s, and it brings us to an unexpected place. This time period saw a revival of Dr. Slump, and the inhabitants of Penguin Village are more than happy to give Goku a place to stay (and a story arc) while he's between series. ...

Hey, look at that. An early video is on time! Yay! I made it! Let's get back to Oh, Zeo, which is perfect timing given that Ohranger turns 30 today.

It's a bonus video, even though I feel like crap today and can't breathe! But it was too big an episode to miss. It's fighty fight time. It's Gomah. It's heroes. It's... I really can't say anything else without spoiling it. Check it out early. Thank you so much for your support!
