History Website / DaizenshuuEX

The podcast usually follows a standard format: Introduction, News, Topic, Releases, and e-mails. Various other segments have also been included from time to time, such as Meri's Top 5 lists, Julian's ABCs, Mike's Fandom Theater, Song-A-Week, "Who's that Character?" etc. One special topic was the "Manga Review Of Awesomeness" and later the "GT Review Of Awesomeness." Jeff, a friend of Vegetto EX and Meri, was at first only familiar with the Cell Games era of the anime in his first appearances. He was later brought on to go through the manga, and later Dragon Ball GT, from beginning to end, providing fresh opinions to the show.

* SubbingVersusDubbing: They are very much on the subbing side and will occasionally express criticism of the dub. Though they generally avoid outright bashing it, occasionally they'll throw that out the window for comedic effect, as in one episode:
-->'''Mike:''' I FUCKING HATE THE DUB!!!

* ScheduleSlip: Not so much the podcast itself, but the monthly "Manga Review of Awesomeness" has been pushed back more often than the Viz Big releases.
