In today's match, Zyuranger's latest rubber-suited monster is a tragic creature doomed to a terrible fate. Power Rangers decides that's, like, totally bleak, man, and transforms it into a comedy that mixes breakfast with a parody of a long-dead film star! What could possibly go wrong? See this vi...

Finally, by popular demand (and in some cases unpopular demand) I have created my first guide to Dragon Ball character names. Ever wonder why some weirdos say and spell names totally different than you? Do you ever just want to yell at them? Well, take a few deep breaths, master that impulse, and...

Dragon Ball Dissection's look at the animated Majin Boo Arc comes to a close with a plethora of filler changes from the final episodes. What about that ol' EOZ ending?

In today's installment of The All-New Mighty Morphin Zyurangers, the Zyurangers head on vacation for Indiana Jones-esque hijinks at a swanky resort... which is now abandoned and ruined. Then Kimberly has a bad hair day, but it's good for me because it was the first episode I ever saw! And it take...

Dragon Ball Dissection continues with its look at the animated Boo Arc. Let's cut to the chase. Filler sometimes greatly improves the manga. Sometimes it can absolutely destroy the impact of a scene. Today I look at some major examples of both and how they affect key moments in The Majin Boo Arc....

It's time for Diddy's Kong Quest! Rare's 1995 follow-up to the smash hit of Donkey Kong Country was a huge risk, but it also followed heavily in the footsteps of Donkey Kong Jr., a game forever in the shadow of its predecessor. With a fantastic new Kong character, a coming-of-age storyline, and t...

Hey, everyone! You probably already figured it out from the community post a few days ago, but this week's video is (finally) the return of Donkey Kong Dissection with Donkey Kong Country 2! That's right. I've been working on it for a year, and it's finally time to bring it to the world in all of...

In today's installment of The All-New Mighty Morphin Zyurangers, we return to the "main storyline" as it were, as Bandora tries to drain Burai's remaining time. Since Power Rangers doesn't adapt that, Tommy gets tied up for a few minutes. Moving on from that, Boi gets a fanciful ninja plot, but B...

Dragon Ball Dissection's look at the animated Boo Arc continues with the tournament section of the story!

This one hits me right in the nostalgia! Dragon Ball Dissection returns to the animated series, this time its adaptation of The Boo Arc.

It's a post-manga world, and we're looking at the final entry of the 13 original Z movies. A new hero comes to town, and he hates everybody. There's also a Dragon Fist, but it doesn't really do much.

The Majin Boo Arc and the original Dragon Ball series come to a close. How does its divisive ending, where Goku runs off with a random kid, stack up?

Dragon Ball Dissection's look at The Boo Arc doesn't actually conclude this time, but we do get to the ending, as contradictory as that sounds. Skipping ten years into the future, there are new designs, new characters, a new tournament that doesn't make sense... all immediately discarded so Goku ...

The Ranger teams have to fight a Frankenstein's Monster monster! A lot of the same footage but vastly different directions. One uses the iconography to carry a Halloween episode. The other uses it as an opening salvo of a multi-part storyline about clay. In other words, there's a lot around here ...

The episode comparison I've been waiting for! Campy hijinks ensue as two Rangers turn into stereotypical punks. Which country does it better? Who chews the most scenery?
