Dragon Ball Z

Come and talk or post on this astounding Anime that has touched the hearts of millions around the world.

Was wonderful up until the Namek saga.

THE KING HAS RETURNED!

japanese people - oh so funny when being an enemy

Actually I take what I said back. When they introduced Saiyan’s, that’s when the show started to suck. I loved it back in Dragon Ball though.

THE KING HAS RETURNED!

Was my favorite series,was the most action packed and greatest anime out there,until I saw stuff like Tenchi Muyo,Blood+,Cowboy Bebop,and so many others and I joined the Goku vs Superman thread.That killed everything.

I’m more into Bleach right now. No offense to you DBZ guys, but it is a much better anime.

THE KING HAS RETURNED!

DBZ prolly will be my favorite anime and manga, followed by Air Gear.

Manchester, thats autistic/sadistic to keep on something you consider bad.

Trigun... Evagnelion...

DBZ isn’t all that great, it was just the first to come over to the states from Japan. That is why everybody seems to have clung to it.

THE KING HAS RETURNED!

well i was fairly younger when i got into it... quite a few years ago.

But i got tired of the show when i noticed that they keep bringing even more powerful enemies and reducing the good guys again then have them power up over 30 episodes to get back where they were with the last enemy.

or how the characters would stand there for 10 minutes staring at each other, then throw a punch or two.

The show made me sick by the time after the cell games, after gohan went all bad-ass on cell.

Compared to other anime DBZ really is just mediocre when compared to other anime, it really gives a bad name to the genre.

Stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist really just blow it out of the water. And then when you get out of what’s aired on Cartoon Network you see anime like Hellsing, Excel Saga, Air Gear, (just started watching, and it’s really awesome) and Samurai Deeper Kyo.

When you’ve watched a broad range of animation you begin to see just how inferior of a series DBZ really is.

I have to much pride. Unless I get tired and just say forget it I will be there until the thread either dies or closes.

How is DBZ inferior? both in the States and in Japan its considered to be the greatest success of manga and anime. Then again, its your opinion.

It’s too repetitive, if you watched the Saiyan Saga, you can pretty much assume what the rest of the series is about.

Bad guy arrives
Bad guy kicks heroes' ass
Hero powers up to a new level
Hero beats up bad guy

It’s all the same, I could watch the Saiyan and Freiza sagas and by the end of them I could tell you the gist of what happens in the Cell and Buu sagas.

Things need to get a bit more mixed up for them to be good, look at Full Metal for example, from beginning to end it kept you guessing about various things. And the ending itself was something that nobody could have predicted.

Same applies to Samurai Deeper Kyo, where as the fights in that show were repetitive the actual story did keep you guessing until the end. And don’t even get me started on Excel Saga, if you can tell how that series ends before the final episode then you’ll be the greatest man alive.

In the end DBZ is like a SOAP, it’s easy to predict and hardly ever surprises. The only reason it got as big as it did is because of it’s over dramatic action sequences and near God-Like characters.

Rise of Shinra

Another awsome anime that not many people appreciate is Paranoia Complex. Oh that was the most amazing show ever while it was airing.

THE KING HAS RETURNED!

Im in to Shippuden right now... Though i sometimes watch the odd Bleach or FMA episode.

The Series was WAY TO LONG.

IThey would talk for one episode, then fight in another.

It was so annoying.

You mean Paranoia Agent? The one with 'Lil Slugger? Nah, I didn’t like it... not my type of anime, I’m more into the action and comedy stuff.
