We Survived Dragonball Evolution… And Here’s What Happened 😭🔥

Описание: Anime fans… we finally did it. We reviewed Dragonball Evolution—the live-action movie that broke the fandom, confused the world, and made everyone ask: “Did they even watch Dragon Ball?”

In this episode of The Raysean Gadson Anime Podcast, I’m joined by two amazing co-hosts as we break down the movie scene-by-scene. We debate who the real MVP was, roast the wild decisions, react to the funniest (and worst) moments, and give our Top 3 Favorite Moments, Most Hated Moment, AND our Final Rating of the film.

If you love Dragon Ball, hate Dragonball Evolution, or just want a hilarious, unfiltered anime discussion—this episode is for you.
🔥 Grab a drink, relax, and enjoy the chaos!
