Dragon Ball Z

[Lionx]

Mmm i liked it dubbed in Chinese(thats just me though XD) because i dont know why..it doesnt seem to lose the humour that it sometimes has when dubbed in English..maybe its just asian langauage i ono.

The ones when Goku was little and an episode here and there wasnt too bad. I have a few VHSs and its not horribly bad back then, but i do agree once i saw it in English, it was pure and utter crap..i cannot stomach it...the tapes however seemed to cut all the crap and make it into a good 45 minute sitting. Its not something great, frankly it is kinda crap, however never have i seen it as bad as when its dubbed in English... ._.

>>> I like the manga, the anime sucked though.

I used to love it while on cartoon network but then they put it onto this cartoon network anime channel which I didnt have and I lost contact with it.

I second that. That and many other shows i got into and telewest took them away :weep:

i used to be obsessed with it as well. my favorite era would have to be....the buu saga, lol. taht, or the cell saga.

with the buu saga, i felt like they went all out, although the cell saga had a nice twist wiht the whole time travel stuff. with the saiyan saga, things were primitive compared to the rest of the series, and the freeza saga didn't do nething great.

and i do agree that the battles seemed ridiculously long, but thats what was sooo cool about them.

favorite movie prolly has to be Movie 13 (don't kno wht its called in English). i think its called like if goku can't do it, no1 can,or something like that, haha, i don't kno. either that, or the Brolly movie where it was Gohan, Goten and Trunks that fought.

I watched it from right about the original Toonami airing of the Frieza saga. That was the time when they only had so many episodes to release, and halfway through the saga they'd reshow it from the beginning. Then they started showing the news ones. I watched until the beginning of the Cell saga and I got really tired of it. The android stuff was boring and I noticed all of the problems that people usually point out about the show.

I think Toonami is reairing the show from the beginning now, though, which is cool. I could probably stand it again up until the end of the Frieza saga.

The movies were pretty cool, too.

Also, to add onto the topic, did you guys ever watch the older Dragon Ball series? The one where Goku and everyone is a kid and Bulma finds Goku in the mountains and they all set out for adventure? I loved that series too, it was cute.

Sadly....Yes..

[sephiroth9006]

and notice how it takes goku about 35 episodes to kill frieza....well hurt him in the namek saga and it takes trunks 2 and he kills him.....x.x
i think it went a bit too far with the super saiyan 3 and stuff like that but i still kinda like DBZ.....well ish...

I first saw DBZ at the age of 7 and I had to wake up at 7 am on Sundays to watch it. It began with the Saiyan era and I liked it. Once it got flashier, I loved it even more. I ended buying a huge amount of the Japanese episodes and pretty much knew everything there was to know about DBZ and DBGT. Now it's a mediocre anime, but I must say that the Saiyan era was the best era of all.

[Shoden]

i used to love DBZ but those flashes are so true lol

[mike without a hat]

I liked DB and the beginning of DBZ, all the different sagas freeza/cell/buu really turned me off though. Ive watched a bunch of the gt episodes but they really suck and i just find them boring.
I also hate the whole lets bring goku back to live 5 times then turn him into a little kid a couple times so he can out live everyone.

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah. After super saiyan 2 everything turned crappy. I mean SS2 goku. Gohan was the best. Favorite character of mine. I still hate DBZ...

[Itsunari 2000]

I'll admit to being very enthusiastic about this show when I was younger,until eventually I just lost patience and interest with the never-ending CELL saga and stopped watching, conveniently just before my Dad decided to cut our cable TV.Now I realize the show's plotlines were just convoluted,repetitive and irritating not to mention those absolutely godawful,useless characters - Mr Popo, wtf ?! Krillin ? Gohan anyone ?

[crashNUMBERS]

Actually Gohan was one of the best characters. Better than goku...

[T-MaN]

Actually Gohan was one of the best characters. Better than goku...

Gohan is my fav. character in DBZ .

[Polnareff]

I can't stand the DBZ anime since they fleshed out the whole thing by making the fights extremely long, and filling them with power blast after power blast after punch/kick flurry. Plus, both dubs that I've seen (Eng. and JP.) annoy me to death, since the only voices that fit are Krillin's, Vegeta's, Chichi's, and Piccolo's. Goku just doesn't sound right in either of those two dubs for some reason.

I must say I like the original DB series the most, since it wasn't as repetitive and the characters weren't as shallow. It saddened me to see naive little Goku grow up into some dude who's boring as a box of rocks. What made it even more sad is that people in DBZ like Krillin were relegated to weaksauce status, as well as Master Roshi, Tien, and many others. That's saddening because they had the most personality out of all the DB characters.

IMO, the DBZ manga owns the anime in all respects since the fights are more to the point, and there's not any useless filler episodes (like the whole "Goku and Piccolo learn to drive" ep). Also, you don't have to listen to the dubs while reading

My favorite saga would be the Saiyan saga, since it's before all those cool characters turned weak.
