For the Skeptics who bash Dragonball Z, I challenge you

I am calling out the skeptics of ATS who think DBZ is nonsense.

This is what DBZ is REALLY about. It's about standing up for your friends against a common enemy. Many people that have not seen DBZ bash it because "they scream", or "punch a lot", or it "looks like a Cartoon for kids". Well, try looking further into the anime and you will see that this book cannot (I daresay SHOULD not) be judged by it's cover.

I have made a video, made it high Def 1080p and in English for everyone to see.

All Rights for this video belong to Funimation Coorperation and Toei Animation:



Please watch the ENTIRE VIDEO Before making any sort of negative judgements please!

This is my youth right here.

Nostalgia d hard, thanks.

Well I guess you're not calling me out because I've never heard of it.

Is it a cartoon? Or a game?

dubbed anime just sounds stupid.

So do closed-minded individuals such as yourself. Dubbed DBZ is friggen awesome, the best I have seen to date out of any Anime.

My kids got me started on this a long time ago and I still watch it to this day.......LOVE IT !!!

Agreed.

On a serious note... I'll have you know, skeptics, that I spent many an hour trying to harness the energy to shoot a fireball from my hands.

Come to find out, I'm too powerful to do so.

Edit: At 25 years old I still love that show. DBZ Kai was kind of disappointing though Freeza/Cell saga was the best.

I get the joke, but you are missing the point. Look beneath the fireballs and karate, and you will find something that actually teaches very good lessons of life.

In case my avatar doesn't make it perfectly clear, I'll take my place on this thread with a special post in honor of Dragonball Z. This show has taught children everywhere how to have faith, how to love, how to never give up, and how to make your dreams come true. And, above all, it has taught confidence.

I'm on top of this one. Show some love!



Shout out to all you DBZ fans. Enjoy!

Dragon Ball is a far superior series.

Hardly any filler, better animation and the story is actually interesting.

OVER 9000 is all I have to say about DBZ

DBZ gets me choked up... Extreme nostalgia, this show was my childhood

out of interest (from someone who has never watched DBZ), what other anime's do DBZ fans like?
do you get anime shows on tv in america?

Ah so it is anime.

I'm more of a Cowboy Bebop, Cashern Sins, and yes I'll admit it, Bleach fan.

Actually if you watch Dragonball then Dragonball Z, it is way more meaningful in the end.

Meh, I've watched ALL of it

The DBZ Kai is actually the better series than DBZ, simply the filler has been cut out and the relevant stuff left in.

GT on the other hand is probably my favorite.

My kids got me into bleach over the last few weeks...not bad.

Bleach is awesome. But beware - it has more fillers than DBZ. Still, I'm surprised to hear GT is your favorite, considering it's regarded as the worst addition to the series, and not even a legitimate addition at that. Although Toriyama DID design SSJ4 Goku.

Kai made the graphics fantabulous, but took out all the blood and stuff. They don't even show the deaths.

^ ^ ^ ^ Thats all I am going to say.

DBZ, naruto, bleach even a cowboy beebop.
basically you guys like crappy anime (and you even watch the dubbed versions).
and you wonder why westerners think think anime is stupid?

Dragon Ball is a superior show as you stated, but Z is a great show in it's own right. There are FAR WORSE things out there than Dragon Ball Z...like Dragon Ball GT.
