Just the Ticket

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of March 23, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster For the first time since probably Fall 2023 , there won't be any AniMonday content this week. I intended to do a response to Geekdom101 's DAIMA Season 2 Plot Pitch video, but in the moment I felt like it would have been too short-notice and not good enough because I got too excited about too many concepts that wouldn't have meshed together that well. So instead, I'm just going to refer you to the link to Danny's video above, and bullet-point some of the ideas I had right here: The main villain should have three generals (similar plot structure to DAIMA , just with villains instead of the Tamagamis), each with one of the Tertian Oculi from the bug shop. Rock, Paper, Scissors should be a recurring joke/theme. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo use it to decide who fights each Dark Namekian General, with Piccolo, then Gohan, then Vegeta getting a turn. When they defeat th...

Dragon Ball DAIMA  Episode 20 Review "Maximum" Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Animeister This post will be pretty short, and many of you have probably already said or thought all of the criticisms I have of this final episode, but please give me your energy and grant my wish by clicking the Follow button to Become A Ticketholder for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I can keep my eye on the ball, and following me on BlueSky , Tumblr , Reddit , Facebook , YouTube , and LinkedIn to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content. Much like the "Awakening" episode two weeks ago, "Maximum" begins with the end of the previous episode , eager to get straight to the action. Much like a season or series finale episode (which it is), "Maximum" also holds off on the OP until said action is concluded, using it as a credits piece similar to how it was used in "Conspiracy" (...

Dragon Ball DAIMA  Episode 19 Review "Betrayal" Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Mini Animeister I don't have much to say about this episode because it's mostly fighting and I want to give some time later in the post to the cast of the "Collar" dub, as well as put in work on my GFT Retrospective and Just the Ticket posts for later in the week, so please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to Become A Ticketholder for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I can keep my eye on the ball, and following me on BlueSky , Tumblr , Reddit , Facebook , YouTube , and LinkedIn to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content. As many fans and viewers (including myself) suspected at the end of "Awakening" last week, the titular "Betrayal" at Glorio's hands this week was in the wish he granted, as Goku, Vegeta, Shin, Piccolo, Dende, and Bulm...

Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 18 Review "Awakening" Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Mini Animeister I just want to jump into the review as quickly as possible, so please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to Become A Ticketholder for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I can keep my eye on the ball, and following me on BlueSky , Tumblr , Reddit , Facebook , YouTube , and LinkedIn to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content, not that I need the genki right now, because I am hyped AF (as in Dragon Ball AF , not what "AF" stands for these days...okay, maybe that, too...). After the "Gomah" episode wasted our time with preamble for two fights that didn't happen, dazzled our eyes with cinema-quality camera work, and teased Super-Saiyan 3 Goku, Friday's "Awakening" delivered a fight that limited my descriptive vocabulary to face-hurting...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Mini Animeister There isn't much to say plot-wise about Friday's episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA , but plenty to say in terms of action, so please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to  Become A Ticketholder  for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I don't drop the ball, and following me on  BlueSky ,  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook ,  YouTube , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content because I'm going to need it if this final stretch of the series is going to be as empty as "Gomah" made me feel. At first, we get this cool standoff and verbal exchange between Shin and Arinsu where we learn that she wants to use her wish on the Dragon Balls to make the Demon Realm a worse, but also more terrifying and stronger place so that it can rival the outside Universes. "Future" knowledge (a...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Mini Animeister. As of the beginning of this writing, Dragon Ball DAIMA  had returned from its New Year's Week hiatus with a single new episode, titled "Surprise," as well as the English dub premiere of "Conspiracy" (despite Toei Animation and the Funi/Crunchy team supposedly having three episode dubs in the can at that point). I successfully committed myself to taking the entire month of January off from posting new content, but I have at least five pieces finished for future publication, and I was intending to make this another, beginning in February (unless an absolute banger of an episode gave me the drive to put this out prematurely - Animeister's Note: it didn't), with an update to my  SSSS  review sssscheduled for SSSSuperhero May (that isn't actually what I'm calling it, but my original plan was to release it in September along with what I hope will be the actual release of the Legend Of the Whi...

Please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to  Become A Ticketholder  for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I don't drop the ball, and following me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook ,  YouTube , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content. And if you haven't seen the twelfth episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA  yet (or the countless reaction videos and editorials about it on the internet), then get out of that Weird Al video you've been living in under that rock up your ass (as I've no doubt mentioned, I like to take my pureed metaphor smoothies to a level even further beyond), and go support the official release because it's the best episode of DAIMA  so far, and I'm not just saying that because it's ninety-five percent fighting, three percent not fighting,...
