Dragon Ball Movies: Good, Bad, or Ugly? (Summer Convention Series) (S3E27)

Listen Later

It's Summer Convention Season! You think it's not, just because it's winter? Well, tune in to find out why it is! Jelli takes you into the world of our summer conventions by presenting one of the panels we held this year, at Anime Texas 2024, in Spring, TX from Fandom Events. This panel was also presented at San Japan in San Antonio, TX but the audio got too blown-out sounding to put out the full episode...but the Q&A portion of that event is retained here. The panel was also presented at Fan Expo Denver, in (of course) Denver, CO from Fan Expo HQ, the audio from that was unfortunately entirely unusable.

In this episode:
