I'm not entirely sure if this is even going to reach anybody who actually needs to read it. Hopefully it will. Apparently Patreon had a little snafu that is causing a higher than normal number of payments to decline. So if you've had that happen this month, it isn't me, it isn't you, it's them. I won't lie. It has me a little...

Hey, it's a third early video for July! Baby is here to stay, whether the heroes know it or not. In this next stage of transitioning GT back to fighting, Baby infiltrates the gang's usual activities of hunting for Dragon Balls and wacky hijinks. He also infiltrates a whole bunch of people. But is the experience worth it? Oh, ...

I was all ready to post this video first thing this morning. Then I realized I forgot to make a thumbnail last week! Have I mentioned I'm a mess? Anyway... Mighty Morphin Zyurangers returns with two of its most memorable messages: pollution is bad, and Rangers are bad! To be clear, pollution is always bad, but Rangers are onl...

As promised, it's a double dose of DBD. Goku, Pan, and Trunks continue their escapades on M2 and beyond. Finding their way to Dr. Mu's planet, the heroes learn it's time to do the twist. Twist after twist after twist comes our way. What's Giru been doing? Twist. What's Trunks been doing? Twist? What's Dr. Mu been doing? Baby ...

Dragon Ball GT continues with the group's ordeal on Planet M2. Giru has betrayed them, which is awful. Trunks becomes Han Solo, which is pretty cool albeit derivative. Goku fights some guys so he can fight some other guy so the first guys can come back. Pan infiltrates the tower so she can continue infiltrating the tower for ...

I've heard it said to never be too sincere in these YouTube videos, to keep a little emotional distance, a little cheek. I never feel particularly comfortable allowing myself to get too vulnerable, too serious, in front of the entire Internet. For that, and for many other obvious reasons, making this video has been difficult ...
2023-06-08 14:47:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi, everybody! I wanted to talk to you for a minute. I've been working very hard on my next video. This is a huge one, very much a passion project, one I've been considering for the last two years, quite unlike any subject I've ever reviewed on the channel before. I had to write it and rewrite it. It's nearly an hour long. I'...

Hello, everybody! I haven't done one of these in a few years, but everyone seemed to like Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, so here we go! It's time to explore another Dragon Ball Dissection Gaiden. When I hit $2,000 a month, I will create a Dragon Ball Dissection episode on *both* of the two Dragon Ball prototypes, Dragon Boy a...

A 30th anniversary MMPR special is here! Our favorite middle-aged adults with attitude have returned to fight the forces of Rita Repulsa one more time. Well, some of them have returned. Others keep their helmets on the whole time to hide that they're not there, but that's part of the fun too! Does this capture the spirit of t...

Okay, it's time for a big one, my lovelies. Dragon Ball GT brings its first recurring story idea to a head, untangling the bizarre, extremely uncomfortable relationship between a girl and the robot she absolutely, positively hates. But is it worth untangling? I mean, is it worth it for them? I spend half an hour untangling it...

In both Power Rangers and Sentai, love is in the air. Zack's long-time crush, Angela, unexpectedly asks him on a date. Goushi's introduced-just-this-episode crush, Sayaka, unexpectedly asks him on... a battle to the death! Which is the superior episode? More importantly, which is the superior date? I had so much fun with this...

GT is going through its growing pains, starting its slow shift from wacky adventure to epic fights. Its first (and weirdest) stop? It's the creepy doll cult! From a plethora of villains to an uncomfortably enthusiastic doll collector, this storyline has something for everybody! Is any of that something good? That remains to b...

It is April, which means a Patreon newsletter will soon be going out (probably beginning of next week) to those in the $30+ tiers.
I'm going to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie today, so, as I said in this week's Mario video, expe...
With a new Super Mario Bros. movie on the horizon, it's time to take a look back at the process of how Mario's and Luigi's iconic appearance came to be. From artwork to pixels, color palettes to power-ups, we're hitting as many early highlights as I can fit in a half hour. It's The Super Mario Bros. Fashion Extrrravaganza! Th...

I'm back with a second guide to Dragon Ball names. Today I'm sticking with the theme of Saiyan names, seven of them. What do they mean? What's the joke?

Mighty Morphin Zyurangers gets very weird when Power Rangers decides to reuse the same monster across multiple seasons!

And who does it ...

GT continues! The Imegga storyline concludes with even more redundant scenes. Pan cosplays as a bee. And then the series goes full Oolong tribute with another town overrun by a bride-seeking monster. Can Trunks live up to Goku's legacy of pretending to the bride? Probably not, but that doesn't mean he won't try! Go ahead and ...

Oh, what is this nonsense? Our meddling robot friend has two different serial numbers? Why is nothing about this show easy or straightforward? Anyway, that's something that briefly plagues me in the next episode of Dragon Ball Dissection, which I am just finishing up and will be out for patrons on Monday!

Alrighty. I'm back for 2023! And this is a video I've been looking forward to doing ever since I returned to a Sentai/Power Rangers format. It's the best, most important episodes of each respective show. Yes. It is. Fight me. I don't care. They're the episodes that made little kid me a Power Rangers fan, and they're the episo...

As has been the custom since my channel became full-time, I'm not taking a prolonged break after DBD December.

I can't believe we're here already! Honestly, for me, it's all been a blur. It's the final installment of Dragon Ball Dissection December. I love a good topic, and everyone's been asking about it, so here we go. How many years have passed before Dragon Ball GT? Where do differing opinions come from? How old are new characters...

Here we are already: the Christmas episode! The 10th anniversary movie is our next stop in Dragon Ball Dissection December. It's the GT movie, but it's very much not.

I thought it'd be fun to jump onto another topic before DBD December overtakes the channel for the rest of the year.
