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 back in the new year because I get stressed out that I don't have enough done for January and have no way of magicking new videos into existence like I'd like.
I started working a week ago. I have...

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 does it manage to carve out a life of its own? See it now, a week early and ad-free. Thank you so much for your support! I hope you're enjoying DBD December!

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 hiatus in 2024? Or is it those movies? Super is complicated, so let's dissect just how complicated it is! Check it out a week early and ad free. Thanks so much for your support!

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 my deep-seated fear of its fans, this lost video is now found. Better late than never, I suppose! Enjoy it a week early and ad-free. Hopefully this will tide you over until the first DBD December goes...

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 table, and how does it influence Dragon Ball Super? Check it out now, a week early and ad free. Thank you so, so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

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 when I cover the TV version.
It'll be out for $10+ patrons on Monday, and it will be out for everyone else the following Monday. But I'm about to lock in my final cut of the video, so if you want...

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 can Ohranger finagle a win by adding MORE BABIES? Let's find out, a week early and ad-free!

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 story teach us about the Saiyans? And most importantly, why is Dragon Ball Minus a thing??? You won't want to miss A Dragon Ball Nitpicker's Guide to Jaco, which you can see right now! Thank you so, s...

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. Created under the auspices of a new studio, Retro, does this 21st century re-imagining have what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with the tallest of gorillas, or is it simply aping the games of the '90s?

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 fully polished and has some things that need to be re-recorded, etc. But I didn't want to leave you high and dry this week. I hope you enjoy it. And now, it's back to work for me!

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. Around the same time, I organized and timestamped the many hours of footage I had compiled. Over the last three weeks I have been frantically writing, recording, and editing. And I do mean frantically....

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 importantly, is it a good story in its own right or nothing more than a marketing gimmick? You can find out right now because you're a patron! Thanks so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy.

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. What did Toriyama bring to the table? Does the movie still hold up? It's time for an extremely deep dive. I hope you enjoy it, a week early and ad-free. Thank you so much for your support!

As I finish up this week, let me just say how thankful I am for all of you. 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!

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 the low production values and barely recognizable characters, is there actually some hidden genius on display?

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 Dragon Ball exists. From Vegeta and Goku cameos to secret sons to Oob in training, is this the canon sequel to Dragon Ball that we otherwise never got? Check it out now, a week early and ad free. Thanks s...

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 video just for you, and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for your support!

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. What could have been a retreaded bit of fluff ends up going in amazing new directions that force us to reflect on the nature of crossovers! And you get to check it out a week early and ad free.

Please pardon the lack of a thumbnail, but I literally just finished this. Dragon Ball Dissection returns for 2025, starting with a huuuuuuge leap to the past. Before Dragon Ball, there was Dragon Boy. And after Dragon Boy but still before Dragon Ball, there was The Adventure of Tongpoo. Two stories that serve as pilots for what would become Dragon Ball.
