  • DB Manga Review Bonus: #17’s Dialogue

    In preparation for the “Manga Review of Awesomeness” on the next podcast episode over at Daizenshuu EX, I’ve been working like crazy on my notes. One of the things I’m going to bring up works well with a little image comparison, so I figured I’d share. In Viz’s English translation of the DragonBall manga, this…

  • Proud To Be Downloading: The Financial Conundrum For FUNimation and the DragonBall Franchise

    I’m not here to attempt to sway your thoughts any which way on whether it’s OK to download licensed stuff. We all have our own well-formed opinions by this point, and whether or not they have the basis in any sort of professional experience or simply life experience, they can be hard to change once…

  • Across The Net: Daizenshuu EX Feedback

    Over in my Twitter feed I occasionally share some of the more hilarious or enthralling comments I’ve seen about our podcast (and even just Daizenshuu EX as a site in general). I figured I would throw a few together in one place for easy reference. With no real qualifying description on where the hate comes…

  • People Hear What They Want To Hear

    I came across the following video on YouTube the other day while going through the referrals for website traffic on Daizenshuu EX. The description is basically nothing more than a link to my site, and the title certainly caught my attention (“TRUE DRAGONBALL FANS WOULD GO SEE DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION”), so I figured I was in…

  • “Daizenshuu EX” In The Media

    OK, so “media” is somewhat laughable when you consider the source this is coming out of, but let’s be honest… seeing your site mentioned in print, no matter what that print form may be, is a pretty awesome thing. We are cleaning out a few things in the apartment as we get ready to eventually…

  • Search Referrals Across The World

    Following up a little bit on my post about rankings on Google a little bit, I just wanted to share another behind-the-scenes doo-diddy with Daizenshuu EX. I have always touted the site as a “global fandom” resource. The Japanese version of the DragonBall series is the sole version that can be (and is) appreciated throughout…

  • Number-One Rankings On Google

    I saw in my search engine referrals the phrase “dragonball fansite” the other day (for Daizenshuu EX), so I figured I’d take a look and see where we placed with that. Whoa! Number one…?! Awesome! Out of curiosity, I tried a bunch of additional search terms/phrases to see which also brought us up as the…

  • iTunes “DBZ” Placement

    Now that the holidays are pretty much over, I’m going to try and get at least a little something up here more often than not. Consider this one of those little things! iTunes is a very mysterious entity. We have only a vague, outsider understanding of how things are ranked. That’s why it is very…
