It's what you've been waiting for... at least, I hope so. I also hope the month it's taken me to get this video off the ground has been worth it. The Majin Boo Arc has finally come to Dragon Ball Dissection, and $10+ patrons get the whole weekend to enjoy it before anyone else! So let me know what you think, and everyone stay safe and healthy.

I've been hard at work trying to come up with a new opening for the next iteration of Dragon Ball Dissection. You've seen the earlier post hinting at the direction in which I'm going. Well, now it's finally here, so I thought I'd give Patrons first view. Let me know what you think! Thank you for your patience as I make this the best I can make it. With a completed intro and a recorded script, that means the episode is right around the corner!

Just wanted to check in with you guys so you didn't think I was simply screwing around. If you frequent the Discord you'll know I finished the script for The Boo Arc Part 1. I shared a piece of it there a little while ago, so here it is for you too. But beyond that, I'm trying to figure out the new intro. And that has led me to experiment today with turning raster graphics into vector graphics! I'm not saying I'm any kind of expert on conversion, but I sure do love being able to zoom in this ...

Super Mario RPG, the world's longest Let's Play, finally comes to an end three and a half years later. Hey, it turns out Smithy isn't even a sword! That commercial lied to me!
2020-02-02 17:41:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone! Trying to figure out some ideas to get me back into the swing of things. I figured it's been awhile since I took questions from people, so why not open the floor to my patrons? Comment on this post, and I will answer the questions in an upcoming video! Since there are currently 88 of you, I'm going to limit this at one question per person. I can't wait to see how creative you guys get!
2020-01-25 21:17:39 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you who are in the $30+ up tier, I am working on the quarterly newsletter today. Thanks for giving me a couple of weeks to gather my thoughts! Hopefully they should be in the mail early next week.
It still feels like my last video just came out. As soon as the Christmas season ends, I'm super busy at my job striking the Christmas show and re-installing our regular show. Last year, even though I didn't really get back to the channel in earnest until April, it felt like no ti...

Dragon Ball Dissection December draws to a close with our look at the filler arc too big and too infamous it had to have its own episode. Garlic Jr. breaks free of the Dead Zone so hard he hops out of the movie universe straight into the series. Can Kuririn's new girlfriend distract audiences enough not to notice?

We finally close out our look at the animated Freeza Arc. I made quite a hullaballoo about the ending when I originally covered this story. What does the animated version do to help fix it? Also, finally, I get my chance to rant about why I hate, loathe, despite the term "Z-Warrior."

Dragon Ball Dissection December continues its look at the animated Freeza Arc. This week we broaden our look at Freeza filler to figure out what makes filler good. When does filler exceed the original work? What gives it that special spark, fills that missing niche, lends it that je ne sais quois? I don't know if we'll find the answers, but we'll definitely explore some examples.

Hello, everyone. The second episode of Dragon Ball Dissection December is here! This time we break away a bit from simply looking at filler to exploring why the production flow seemed to break down around this time. Enjoy it nearly a week early!

So every year, Dragon Ball Dissection December premieres on December 4, 11, 18, 25, and 31. But now, you guys get to celebrate DBD December on Thanksgiving! Check out Fake Namek, Real Crabs - DBD TV: The Freeza Arc Part 1!

After eight years I've finally finished my review of Batman, and you guys get to see it first. Find out how this mutual arms race of incompetence comes to an end. See Batman win World War II single-handedly... totally not being saved by Robin at every opportunity. Enjoy!

Mario and the gang finally head into Smithy's final factory for the finally final confrontation. But will the never-ending cavalcade of palette-swapped... I mean, machine made versions of previous enemies prove too much? And will Mario's so-called friends stop picking fights for him?

It's hard to believe we're finally here. These two years have gone by in the blink of an eye, but at the same time it feels like The Cell Arc has been such an intrinsic part of my life. I'm almost getting misty. Well, here it is. You're the first to get to see how it all turns out. I obviously can't stop you, but please don't spoil the score for non-patrons.
This post goes public on Monday.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am currently editing The Cell Arc Part 18 as we speak and had to put together this little mash-up. Hopefully it should be out later this week for patrons and next Monday for everyone else!
2019-10-15 18:44:53 +0000 UTC View PostGuess it's that time. For years, people have been telling me they'd rather I wait until the end of The Boo Arc to give out the score for The Cell Arc since, if I do it now, that means the final score will be essentially given away. Since it's come up so much, I'll let you guys decide! Should I give the score in the next video or not?

As promised, here it is today. This month marked 20 years since the Cartoon Network premiere of Z-Day, or season 3 of dubbed Dragon Ball Z. To be sure, this is not the same "season 3" you pick up on terrible DVD and Blu-ray releases of today. Because of that, I wanted to give you the ten things you needed to know to really understand Dragon Ball Z like it's 1999! Let me know what you think!
2019-09-25 17:31:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt feels as though I have been working on this video forever. And to be quite honest, it's probably the most time I've devoted to a video in quite a while, even putting aside all the work on my mom's estate I've had to do over the past month. But it's finally done! My 1999 nostalgia-fest dubbed DBZ season 3 video is done. You know what that means? It means all of you $10+ patrons will be seeing it tomorrow! Just wanted to let you know. But for now, I'm going to bed. I've been up since 4:00 th...
2019-09-25 02:24:48 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone. Thank you for giving me space during this busy and difficult time of my life. We had the funeral on Saturday, and I should be heading home Tuesday night, and for those of you who paid for upper tier rewards, I should be getting them out very soon after. The new DBD is about to go completely public, so those of you who got to see it early, I hope you enjoyed it. This has been a learning experience for me. Here's what I learned:
Just because a video is unlisted doesn't m...
Cell destroys himself, but he's bad at it, so Gohan has to destroy him too. Afterwards, the gang use the Dragon Balls for a hard rest, but Goku no longer approves of the status quo. Are his reasons thoughtful and thematically appropriate, or is it all just a big mess?
2019-08-29 18:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostI have to share with you that I just found out that my mother passed away, and I have to leave town for awhile to handle things related to that.
The Cell Arc Part 17 is done, and it will go out later this week to $10 tier and higher Patrons and to everyone else next Monday. Nothing should change in regards to that. Beyond that, though, I'm not sure how this is going to affect things in the immediate future. I'm afraid rewards for the higher tiers might be slightly delayed, but if it is,...

I spent today making the thumbnail for the next video, and I just couldn't wait to share it! The video it belongs to will be publicly released next Monday. But don't forget: if you are a member of the $10 a month tier or higher, you will get to see it before anyone else!
2019-08-27 00:02:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! There are many more of you here than when I made my last post. Thank you all so much for supporting me. Just so you know, I currently have Patreon set to charge at the beginning of the month, so for all of you wondering why your bank accounts are intact, that is why. Physical rewards will go out after the beginning of the month as well.
In other news, the audio for The Cell Arc Part 17 is edited. It's going to be about 20 minutes long. It will be the first video to lau...
Hello! If you're seeing this, it means you're a Patron, and I think that's just swell. Largely, this is just a test, since I have no experience with this whole Patreon thing. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm just about to open Patreon to my Facebook and Twitter followers. Quite frankly, it has me very nervous. I've been prepping this whole thing for months, silently, in the shadows. I've written and re-written my intro. I've tweaked tier levels over and over again. It's been my own little pr...
