In this episode we explore some terms many of us anime fans may have heard but never knew the meaning behind it. We also talk about terms that we never heard before or we thought had a different meaning. In anticipation of this episode, we did some research into a lot of common and uncommon terms. We learned a lot through this research. Even looking back to when it was first used or created. We only explore a few in this episode but we do plan on talking about more terms in the future.

DBZ Breakdown: Saiyan Saga
We final start our breakdown series. Following the intro of the DBZ breakdown. We start with the first season/saga which is the Saiyan Saga. Not only is this the beginning of most American journey with the Z fighters, it's also the beginning of the memes we now see and talk about today. During this breakdown we go through the story breaking it into essentially three parts. The arrival of Raditz, the training arc of the Z fighters, and finishing it off with the arrival and battle between Nappa and Vegeta. As we go through we bring up questions that we feel don't get answered or explain. As well as a few hypothetical ideas. Remember these breakdowns are not based off interviews with the creator themselves. So it's not what they were intending the audience to think or how it should be interpreted. Instead it is about how we interpret it and what really made us like or dislike about the anime. We hope you enjoy this episode. Comment your takes on the episode or more importantly your takes about the first season of DBZ. Of course stay tune for the character breakdown from this season as well.

Drangonball Z Breakdown Intro
This episode we introduce you to a a new series called our breakdown series. In the breakdown series we go by each season, saga, or arc in an anime to get into the nitty gritty of the anime. These breakdowns are not based off interviews with the creator themselves. So it's not what they were intending the audience to think or how it should be interpreted. Instead it is about how we interpret it and what really made us like or dislike about the anime. Of course there is no better anime to start this series than with the classic anime, Drangonball Z. Some/most people's first Shonen anime. This episode is us introducing Drangonball Z before the breakdown itself. We try to focus on Dragonball Z as a whole within anime and within the world. We even bring in the less known part Dragonball. Though we both like that anime, we understand a lot of people don't know about it or have never seen it. We hope you enjoy this episode. Comment your takes on the episode or more importantly Dragonball Z in general. Of course stay tune for the Saiyan Saga, the first season of Dragonball Z.

Rivals Ep1: Yu-Yu Hakusho
Join my co-host and I, as we dive into our "Rivalry" series. Our "Rivalry" series takes the protagonist in an anime series, and we explore the rivalries they gain throughout the series. We look into how these rivalries help the protagonist grow in the series and just how it helps the anime develope story wise.
In episode one, we dive into one of our favorite animes of the 90's YuYu Hakusho. We talk and dive into the rivalry that made this anime such an icon in the 90's, as well as just a general stample in the anime community. We walk through all the arcs and the rivalries that are created within those arcs. Honestly we talked a lot about this anime. To the point we decided that we would create a whole other episode. Depending on how it goes, we might just make a whole new series. So please stay tune to that. Please like and comment what you thought about our takes on these rivalries. Also we would love to hear about your opinions on them as well as any rivalry we might have missed within the series.
We just wanted to address the huge gap and lack of episodes. In our current job, The holiday season required more of our attention than we had anticipated. We also ran into equipment failure and lost of files. So we invested into some new equipment and a whole new editing machine so that we can produce better quality episodes. As well as producing more frequent episodes. As of right now we have a lot of anime episodes we plan to record. As far as sports episodes we are in the works of planning those out as well.
