What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Would’ve given it 4 Stars for the 4 Star Dragon Ball but this podcast is so fantastic that I had to give it a 5. I’ve recently started binging through these episodes and I’ve gotta say that these people know all the in and outs of Dragon Ball and I’ve definitely learned a lot about the show because of this podcast. Keep up the good work Kanzenshuu!

H. Price · Feb 2018

There are plenty of Dragon Ball-themed podcasts, but the Kanzenshuu one is the most informed. The guys that run Kanzenshuu know more about Dragon Ball than most, and they present their educated takes on the manga, the show, the games, and other informative topics in each episode. They tend to focus almost exclusively on the Japanese version, but there are episodes discussing aspects of the dub, both positive and negative. This is worth a listen for any Dragon Ball fan.

Amazing knowledge, personalities, and ability to discuss. Even if you only consider yourself a casual fan, just listening to this will increase your desire to learn more!

BarettiOS · Sep 2017

One of my favorite things is dragonball, I considered myself an expert until I found this podcast. Mike and friends have a vast knowledge of all things Akira Toriyama! The only downside is that they don't post as often as I'd like and aren't consistent. hopefully this is something that can be fixed
