A lot of people can relate to these “emo” characters. I find them less pathetic than brutes who only answer questions with their fists, but they seem to be popular too. Ugh... /rant
But, you could always go for the anime that basically pioneered Dragonball and it’s similar successors, Fist of the North Star. Old anime, and violent, and while I’ve never seen it, I’d say it’s one to try and watch it because it’s a classic.
Whether or not it’s good, that’s up to you.
But if that doesn’t suit you, I think Bleach is the better of the two. More mature in content, except Shippuden I don’t actually know about. Plus it’s very strict to the DBZ formula, almost to the T. Thing is, DBZ has more western appeal than Bleach does, since Bleach is heavy on Japanese imagery.

WATCH ELFEN LIED it is fucking awesome.
Tons of really, really gory killing and tits everywhere. The jokes are fucking hilarious and it even has a good storyline. I never thought anybody could pack so much ownage into one show...
Elfen Lied I really enjoyed, but Berserk is still my favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone that hasn’t seen it.
