Dragon Ball Daima is NOT Dragon Ball GT

Dragon Ball Daima is not Dragon Ball GT. A lot of folks have a lot of thoughts about this series (myself included) and I figured this would be a good way to address some of the more common criticisms I've seen online concerning this brand new series on the horizon.   


Do people have cause for concern? Are they right? Or is it a little more complicated than that? Let's see!

Dragon Ball Z: The Ultimate Filler Review

Dragon Ball Z was the ultimate anime for me as a kid! And with this video I will have successfully covered the entire series! The filler of Dragon Ball is notorious and I'm eager to see just how much merit there is to that notion. I adore this story and I wanted to pour my heart into a passion project like this for so long! I hope you have fun watching this love letter to the adventures of Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Goten and Trunks as they try to navigation their complicated circumstances in th...

[PREVIEW] Dragon Ball Z: The Ultimate FILLER Review

This video is turning out to be a bit of a monster! Turns out that not only does Z have a lot more filler than I remembered, but I also have a lot to say about it. Here are the first 14 minutes of what is looking to be nearly 45 minutes when it's done!

We've decided to release the video next Saturday as a result, but you'll have it as soon as it's done :) For now, please enjoy this preview and let myself and the team know what you think so far!

The FILLER of Dragon Ball is...?

An extra early video for you wonderful people! So early, we don't even have a thumbnail yet😱

This is actually not 100% finished, but we didn't want to make you wait any longer. All that's missing is a very short 40 second segment at the beginning that just defines what we're considering filler here. Here's the script for that section:

"Alright, so first thing’s first, I'm a realist. Glad we got that cleared up!

Second thing is, we gotta...

August Blooper Reel

Compiled the entire month's outtakes into one big video this time around. Think it may have ended up too long haha. But there is some very good stuff in here. Musical numbers. Household interferance. EATING A MOLDY GRAPE?????

Majin Vegeta - Art Timelapse

It's insane how many revisions this went through. Thumbnail design is always a tough one - it's rarely as simple as just "draw a pretty illustration" - we're always thinking about how it will be consumed at the many different sizes thumbnails are seen at, and whether it really looks unique against other people's standard cut-outs. For example, why use the iconic Majin Vegeta smirk if the screenshot from the show has been used a million times in other people's videos; it sort of defeats the pu...

August Q&A (New Group Format!)

Hello all, and welcome to another big ole Q&A! We decided to shift up the format of these, including two other members of the team to be able to answer as many of your questions as possible (and thoroughly bully Mark for his transgressions). The whole thing is a boat load of fun, filled with insight, behind the scenes, and infinite pain.

Please enjoy, and apologies for Mark's audio.

Cell Script (Feat. New Credits System!!)

The Cell script! Surprise! The scripts now include a very cool, exclusive insight into the writing process of these videos: Credits! Who wrote what is now color coded! These writing processes are often so intertwined that there are bound to be some tiny lines here and there missed, but largely speaking these will give you a good idea of where any given section came from!

We came up with this like, halfway into the video, so the first half of this script is not super color keye...

Short-Form Video Suggestions Thread

Yo! As you may know, we produce short-form TikToks/YouTube Shorts, and cover a lot more broad range of topics over there. Really just anything that interests us.

Can be related to Dragon Ball, Anime, Manga, Movies, TV, Media, most anything along those lines! Drop your suggestions below, and if we like them, we'll let y...

Cell Video Release Date

Alright so update on the Cell arc video. 

It’s longer and more detailed than the last video. Which unfortunately means we have to delay it a further week until the 19th of August.   We don’t want to force a deadline on this and want this series to be the best it can be.  

The good news though is that as soon as it is done, you all will have access to it. It's looking like that is likely to be early next week, so look forward to that! <...

Heyo, local audio editor Tyson here! Here is our first set of outtakes, this time from the Freeza video. In this 5 minute compilation, you will come to learn, as I have, that not only can Mark barely read, but his entire body begins to self destruct when he records?? Its wild... Enjoy.
