Our look at the first two Dragon Ball Z movies remains to date our most popular episode ever! It introduced our new rating system and set a record for highest downloads, beating out both the previous episode and the very next episode! If you have thoughts about Deadzone or the World's Strongest or in Namek Saga, e-mail in at dbznextdimension@hotmail.com!

Here's the checklist folks! If you're following the manga, episode #6's coverage will be chapters #57-#69. If you're going by the original anime, you'll want to follow episodes #34-#40. If you're going by Dragon Ball Z Kai, the coverage consists of episodes #21-#24. Stay tuned, we'll be back in a couple of weeks' time with the next episode!

In case you forgot the name...

In the wake of the Saiyan battle, many friends were lost without any hope of ever returning back to life. But that doesn't stop our heroes, as Gohan, Bulma and Krillin travel to planet Namek, home of the original Dragon Balls in hopes of reviving their fallen comrades. Join Donovan and Jesse as they discuss on of the most seminal sagas in DBZ history! Among the discussion is the ever-changing fashion trends of the characters, the inconsistencies of intergalactic traveling, and a total shift in the dramatic narrative of DBZ thus far.

Our highest single day download episode ever with over 9,000 (no joke!) has tipped us over the edge into over 500,000 downloads total! Thanks so much to all who've tried out our new odcast, and stay tuned for more from Jesse and Don!

In the next episode of The Next Dimension, Donovan and Jesse will being the Namek Saga! To follow along, the coverage will tackle original Dragon Ball Z episodes 36-45. Dragon Ball Z Kai's coverage consists of episodes 17-20. The manga coverage begins with DBZ volume #5, starting with "Goku's request". Expect the episode to come out within the next week!

The legendary manga artist and Dragon Ball creator turns 55 years young today! Let's all wish him another 55 years more with the dragonballs!

Once again, thanks to everyone that has joined Donovan and Jesse for the ride through the DBZ Universe! We've only just begun, and will be back in April to start the Namek Saga! And preliminary thoughts or post-thoughts about the Movie Special can be read on-air by e-mailing at dbznextdimension@hotmail.com. Thanks again!

Putting the series on hold for the time being, Donovan and Jesse discuss the first two Dragon Ball Z movies, Deadzone and The World's Strongest! What follows is over two hours of Japanese children/women singing, bad guys getting away with using the Dragonballs, MAD SCIENCE, and the characters being more awesome than they generally are in the actual show. Further discussed is Goku's morality, Don's prejudice of the Funi Dub in preference for the Ocean Dub (a reversal of the usual opinion), where if at all the movies fit into continuity, and the greatest opening shot to a movie ever. Sit down with some popcorn, grab a seat next to the talking pig or the talking turtle, and get to downloading!

Our coverage of the first two DBZ films, Deadzone and The World's Strongest, have been recorded! Expect it out soon!
