Review: Great Saiyaman Saga (DBZ episodes 200 - 219)

Few characters divide the Dragon Ball fandom quite like the Great Saiyaman. What is it about Gohan's alter ego that makes some fanboys' blood boil? And how does that effect these episodes? Is this Saga a light-hearted romp through the Dragon World before a brand new Big Bad is introduced, or is this a sign that the series should have ended already? More on that, after the break.

Dragon Blog's Second Anniversary?! Who Would Have Thought He'd Come Back!

Hey gang.

I can't believe its been two entire years since I started this journey to watch and blog every Dragon Ball episode/movie/special/etc. Time really flies when you're doing nothing but watching a cartoon from the 80's. I know I scared some of you last year when I suddenly stopped updating for a few months, but I came back, and I've been going strong ever since. I think when I started the blog, I obsessed with having daily updates, so much so that I started inventing updates when I didn't find the time to watch a new episode/movie. It all built up until it was overwhelming, and I just needed time away, to refresh myself. It worked, and now I'm back and I don't stress about updates anymore. They'll be here when they get here.

Just think, this time next year, I'll be finishing Dragon Ball Kai. I hope you all stick around to watch.

Yours,
Biba
