Hujio later joins us to talk about and review the oft-forgotten TV special for DBZ Movie 7, occasionally referred to as the "movie overview special".

Episode #0246! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff dive into volume 37 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". The Dragon World is quickly being expanded with new gods, new villains, and a turn into more magical territory than we have seen in quite some time. Is this the only place left for the series to go? Tons of news, music revelations, February's releases, and an in-depth discussion of how foreign fans can go about getting proper releases in their country rounds out the episode.

Episode #0245! VegettoEX and Meri talk a little bit about FUNimation's re-release of DB Movie 1, the "Kokoro no Hane" CD single, and more. Two weeks worth of news, February's jam-packed releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Episode #0243! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian recap the crazy year that was 2010. All sorts of surprises on both sides of the ocean, a plethora of releases, far too many sad moments, and a few head-scratchers made up the last year. How did we fare in our predictions from a year ago, and what do we see on the horizon for 2011? We already know about some video games and home releases, but will there be any true surprises in the next year?

Episode #0242! VegettoEX and Hujio discuss the future of "DragonBall Kai" based on the recent news of "Toriko" taking its time slot on Fuji TV in April 2011. Is the show going to continue in any way, or is the refresh coming to a close? Lots of talk about DBZ Movie 1, some website projects in the works, and so much more rounds out the episode!

Mike (Daizenshuu EX) and Jake (Kanzentai) guest with Otaku Dan and Anime3000's Sean Russell on an episode of "Bonus Round" to discuss "DragonBall Kai". What is the importance of this special "refreshed" series, and what kind of fans is it looking to draw in? Recorded July 2010.

Episode #0241! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian check out "DragonBall SD", a new spin-off manga by Naho Ooishi.

VegettoEX and Hujio review "Kintoki", a special one-shot by Akira Toriyama

Episode #0240! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff dive into Volume 36 in our "Manga Review of Awesomeness". The final story arc has begun and Toriyama has aged up the cast, introduced new characters, and brought things back to a comedic tone. Was this the last and most obvious direction to take the series, and does a little down-time do a story good? KaiserNeko of TeamFourStar also stops by to talk about the month's biggest news, including "DragonBall SD", two new video games on the horizon, and much more!

Episode #0239! VegettoEX and Meri discuss the latest news before diving in to an extravaganza of video game topics. Jake and Lance join in to talk about long-forgotten characters that were originally created for DragonBall videos games (and what the likelihood is that we will see them again in the future). Later on, Dustin joins in to talk about "Raging Blast 2", the most recent game from Spike and Namco-Bandai. The first game was such a universal disappointment, so did the developers step up their game and deliver a quality product? Releases, e-mails, and general fun all round out the episode!

Episode #0238! VegettoEX and Meri review "Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans", the re-made feature included with "Raging Blast 2";. Does the story benefit from a few rewrites and condensed time frame? Financial news, iPad manga, November's releases, and your e-mails round out the episode!

Episode #0237! VegettoEX and Hujio review the "DragonBall Kai Soundtrack III and Songs" album. Kenji Yamamoto has moved into new territory with his score, and the album also features three new vocal songs. Corey also pops in to talk about "Tenkaichi Tag Team" for the PSP.

October and November releases, your e-mails, and a contest to win "Tenkaichi Tag Team" for the PSP rounds out the episode.

Episode #0235! VegettoEX, Meri, and Corey reluctantly dive in to the original 1993 "Official Visual Guide" version of "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans". This video strategy guide for the original Famicom game can be viewed as its own stand-alone feature, but should you bother? Is there anything under the surface that could result in a decent remake in the upcoming "Raging Blast 2"...? October's news and releases, as well as some fantastic e-mails, rounds out the episode.

For our first episode we covered DragonBall Z movies 1 through 3, along with some of the recent news. We plan on doing a few more episodes down the road, but at the moment there's no set schedule. So with that, I give you the debut of The Big Green Podcast.

Episode #0234! VegettoEX and Hujio catch up on all sorts of news. We have home video release details, "Raging Blast 2" character updates, censoring and racism, the Vegeta refrigerator, and a ton more. October's releases, your Ano-Yo-Ichi Budokai feedback, and all sorts of other nonsense rounds out the episode.

Episode #0233! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff dive into the Ano-Yo-Ichi Budokai for a "Filler Review of Awesomeness". The TV series was getting a little too close to the manga, so the second self-contained filler arc for the "DragonBall Z" TV series was given the green light. How does it hold up? All sorts of bizarre news from around the world, September's releases, and your e-mails round out the episode.

Episode #0232! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian discuss the tiny bits of news from the last week. Marc also stops by to talk about the upcoming Mexican dub of "Kai" and its respective fanbase revolt! Andrew pops in to talk about the "TAG VS" Japanese demo, while releases and e-mails round out the episode.
