Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Daizenshuu EX was a major Dragon Ball fansite. It started as Vegetto EX's Home Page in 1998, before becoming Daizenshuu EX in the early 2000s. On April 1, 2012, the site fused with with fellow fansite and frequent collaborator Kanzentai, and was rebranded as Kanzenshuu. The website has also hosted a weekly podcast since late 2005 that has run on a weekly schedule for over 300 episodes.The website can be found here and the podcast page is here.The podcast is usually hosted by any combination of the following folks: Michael "Mike" LaBrie (Vegetto EX), the ringleader. Meredith "Meri" LaBrie (née Cantoni), the wife and Trunks fangirl. Julian Grybowski (SaiyaJedi), the correspondent in Japan and Toriyama archivist. Heath Cutter (Hujio), the (former) owner of Kanzentai. Jake Schutz (Herms), the prolific in-universe translator and all-around man of mystery.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Guests hosts range from other longtime fans, to moderators from the forums, to other website owners, to official people from within the anime industry, and more.The podcast usually follows a standard format: Introduction, News, Topic, Releases, and e-mails. Various other segments have also been included from time to time, such as Meri's Top 5 lists, Julian's AB Cs, Mike's Fandom Theater, Song-A-Week, "Who's that Character?" etc. One special topic was the "Manga Review Of Awesomeness" and later the "GT Review Of Awesomeness." Jeff, a friend of Vegetto EX and Meri, was at first only familiar with the Cell Games era of the anime in his first appearances. He was later brought on to go through the manga, and later Dragon Ball GT, from beginning to end, providing fresh opinions to the show.

comment
The Rival: Invoked with Heath (given Kanzentai's similar focus on comprehensive coverage of the franchise), though any rivalry there may have been was a friendly one. His title on the forum is "Number One Rival", though the recent merger makes him more of a co-webmaster with Mike (if not the main one, given his responsibility for much of the technical aspects). In episode #307, Mike and Heath have this conversation regarding their positions on the website:

Instrumental Theme Tune: It's the Japanese Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT recap music. For episodes 1-200, he used the original version, from 200-291 he used the version from the Buu arc, and from 292+ he's used the tune from Dragon Ball GT.
