Adam’s Ridiculously Long Dragon Ball Z Review

We’re finally at the end of a long journey. I’ve watched 291 episodes of anime and written 12 articles about them – including this one. That’s a lot. Easily the biggest undertaking I’ve had as a writer thus far. I actually dread to think about the word count of...

Season Nine is, in a word, a mess. A meandering mixture of interesting, inexplicable, cool and downright ridiculous twists and turns. It feels aimless at times because it simply doesn’t have the overarching structure that most of the other seasons had to keep it focused. We get to a...

Season Four is a bit like watching the start of a brand new series. The end of Season Three might have been intended to be the end of the series. So it takes a little time to reset the board for things to continue on. In fact, it mirrors...

It has all led to this. The events of Season One and Season Two build towards what happens here in Season Three. 825~ minutes of screen time – including the longest 5 minutes of all time – over 33 episodes, 20 of which contain one of, if not the...
