We're back to our usual Manic Mondays! And I'm ringing in the New Year with the return of The All-New Mighty Morphin Zyurangers! Not only that, but this time we're pitting two sets of episodes against each other for a barnyard animal theme: Pudgy Pig and Chunky Chicken. Also, there's a flying car. It might even be said to be... rad. Check it out!

Dragon Ball Dissection December concludes with a look at the 10th Dragon Ball Z movie, the return of Broli. Broli is up to his own tricks, which are primarily yelling "Kakarrotto" and punching things. Can Goten, Trunks, and Videl counter with enough wacky antics to put him in his place? And can Gohan finally save the day on his own? The answer to that last one is no. And as usual, you get to see this one early! In fact, you get to see video number five before the rest of the world has seen vi...
2020-12-24 15:08:20 +0000 UTC View PostSo as I'm winding down my work on Dragon Ball Dissection December, I'm looking ahead to the new year. It's already been almost a year, so why don't we do another patron-exclusive Q&A video? Patrons, please leave a comment on this post, and I'll do a video on them some time in January! It can be about Dragon Ball. Doesn't have to be. Can be about my other series or interests. Can be about me. Can be about you. Whatever. As they used to say back in the olden days, "It's your dime!" Surprise...

Christmas Day's episode continues with the arrival of Majin Boo himself! But before that, Vegeta has a hankering for a very brief and disappointing rematch with Goku. Can the audience stay awake long enough for Gohan and Kaioshin to save the day? That's a trick question. Gohan and Kaioshin can never save the day. Enjoy getting to see this a week early!

Dragon Ball Dissection December continues with Bobbidi taking over Vegeta. This fractious move is perhaps Vegeta's most iconic moment. But does it really hold up? What works and what doesn't? It's the exciting sequel to The Cell Arc Part 12. Because, you know, Vegeta does this a lot.

Dragon Ball Dissection December continues its look at The Majin Boo Arc! Toriyama gets bored with Gohan fighting Dabra, so we get to enjoy the tournament as it experiments with Battle Royale! Can Mr. Satan stand up to #18? But more importantly, can you stand up to the return of the Dragon Ball Fashion Extravaganza? After this seven year gap, which characters strut the runway, and which characters fall flat on their faces?
And, of course, if you're seeing this post, you get to see all o...
Dragon Ball Dissection December begins! Goku and the gang descend through Bobbidi's ship, killing everything that gets in their way. However, their godly guide, Kaioshin, loses more credibility with every step. And that's just with the audience!
It's still November, but get a head start on Dragon Ball Dissection December right now!
Here's a video I've had churning around my brain pan and in my word processor for a very long time now. I hope it's something you all enjoy!
There are countless ways to watch the original Star Wars film. But in 1981, National Public Radio created a whole new Star Wars experience: a radio drama. Headlined by Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels and expanded into a 13-episode series, does this interpretation match up to the George Lucas original? Time to find out! And, of course, you get to f...
Yes, Bobbidi is heading up the thumbnail again because of the surprising reaction I got to the last video. So today's episode is three videos in one. The first is Bobbidi's plan to get the heroes into this ship, starring the ever-versatile Dabra's Spit tactic. After that, we transition into a discussion about Bobbid's lineage. What is he, and why are people so confused by what should be a straightforward concept? Finally, we get ready for the most wonderful time of the year: Dragon Ball Disse...

The All-New Mighty Morphin Zyurangers returns with... what is this? A straight adaptation? Well, this is something different! Some goblin guy is preying on children, and it's up to one tenacious kid to help each of our respective ranger teams. But who does the better job: caterpillar-obsessed stalker kid or hearing-impaired dance student?

Patreon was down earlier this morning. Otherwise, this would have been here sooner. But here's the newest video! The machinations behind the plot are finally revealed. Seriously this time. I know the plot has been screwing around for six months now, but we finally have a direction.
In related news, the official MistareFusion newsletter is going out in the next couple of days to members of the Fusion Fanatics Plus tier, so you still have time to join that tier this month if you want tha...
A Sphinx monster comes down from the moon to terrorize our two Ranger teams. One hosts a game show, tells riddles, and traps people in trees. The other... doesn't really do much of anything honestly. Meanwhile, the Zyurangers finally bring their giant robots together to form Daizyujin. The Power Rangers, who have used their Megazord twice before now, just yawn.
You may be wondering why this early access video is coming out later in the day than usual. Well, let me just tell you that l...
Well, here we go. Videl versus Spopovitch, surely a topic that's fun for the whole family. People have many strong opinions about this particular fight, so of course I had to talk about it for over half an hour. What makes this fight stand stand out? And how does Dragon Ball utilize violence to tell its story? Hopefully this video is not presented in a way that causes discomfort to anybody, but it is a topic that might be said to contain sensitive issues. Thanks to the fine folks in the Disco...

Introducing the longest episode of Dragon Ball Dissection so far! Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans on Famicom. Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans on video. True Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans on Playdia. Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans on seventh generation consoles! There is a lot, a lot, a LOT to cover. And here it is. Please enjoy!

The All-New Mighty Morphin Zyurangers returns with the biggest disappointment I've seen so far. The Zyurangers go on an epic, two-part quest to lay claim to new weapons. In Power Rangers, Zordon hands out a bunch of a weapons he had in his junk drawer. Also, pollution is bad, I guess. I wonder which series is going to win?
But best of all, this episode is PINK, and that makes me unreasonably happy.
Alrighty! So the first Patreon goal has been reached. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. The Dragon Ball Dissection episode on Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans and Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans will happen, God help me. When will it happen? Well... soon. Like, within the next month or two soon. I have to do quite a bit more research before I feel I can properly cover it, especially in regards to the original video game these products are based on. In addition, my upcoming queue ...

Piccolo fights, or rather doesn't, against Shin, only to find out he's the bestest god, the Kaioshin. The Kaioshin is above the Grand Kaio who's above the four Kaio, who's above Kami. Um... what? Who are all these people we've never met? Why are there so many gods? Well, you get to find out a week before everyone else. So thank you!

Mighty Morphin Zyurangers continues with a look at the second (produced) episodes of both series. Not only does MMPR struggle to adapt elements from a two-parter they largely skipped the first part of, they also graft on an entirely-unrelated "Trini is afraid of heights" plot. This one... is... quite fun.

The latest Dragon Ball Dissection is now available to you before anyone else! We continue our look at the Tenkaichi Budoukai and its Junior Division. This gives us a chance to examine the differences this new Trunks brings to the table. But if he's so different from the old Trunks, who takes over the role as the old Trunks...?

Okay, everyone. I'm really excited about this one, and I hope you are too. Ten years ago this month I put out the first entry in my series exploring how various Super Sentai series were adapted into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. As much as Dragon Ball Dissection has blown up, those videos are far and away among my most-viewed. So I wanted to celebrate that legacy by returning to that topic.
This is not a remake or a remaster, although it does heavily benefit from better video, audio, a...
Okay, so I've been putting out feelers lately in regards to whether or not I should cover Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans on Dragon Ball Dissection. I'd never had plans to cover it until people began expressing interest in me doing so. But due to an overwhelmingly positive response to the polls I made, I have decided to consider adding it to the Dragon Ball Dissection review list. As such, I have made it my first ever Patreon goal. If I reach $800 a month, I will create it. Maybe you're wonderi...

Dragon Ball Dissection continues with a new episode! The Dragon Team returns to the tournament, but things have changed since they've been gone. In a complete break from reality, a narcissistic conman has usurped the event in order to stroke his own ego. Meanwhile, Goku has definitively usurped the lead role from Gohan. And then Piccolo does something really, really dumb. So there's something here for everybody!
2020-06-01 18:42:03 +0000 UTC View PostDepending on whether or not you follow other creators here, you might already know this. I'm a little late at getting the word out, and I might be beating Patreon to the punch by only a few hours.
To the point, Patreon is going to begin adding sales tax to certain types of transactions beginning in July. While I am going to spend some time over the course of June figuring out exactly how it's going to affect my own Patreon, I will at least try to give a brief overview of what I underst...
The newest Dragon Ball Dissection episode is now available for $10+ Patrons! We explore the ninth Dragon Ball Z movie. Gohan's finally the main character, and he and his friends enter a tournament that thrills and amazes us! And then Bojack and his henchmen show up to put a stop to all of that. Yay...

Hello, everyone. I talked about Final Fantasy VIII almost three years ago. Now Final Fantasy Memories returns with the ninth (and possibly best) game of the franchise. This is probably the most in-depth FF Memories I've made, filled to the brim with game footage, music, soundtrack, and strategy guide talk. Good grief, remember the controversy over the strategy guide! Anyway, patrons get to check it out now.

It also tantalizes the next big project for MistareFusion.

Hello, everyone! It's time for a new video, and it's one you guys helped to make. Thanks for all of your questions back in January, a simpler time. However, it did help make some of this isolation go by a little easier. I hope I was able to give you the answers you were looking for!
