The new movie inspired me to make a thread out of the best fucking anime series alive. There's more episodes of Dragon Balls Z then there are of The Simpsons. I was watching the Cell Games last night about where Gohan is about to kick Cell's ass. I love Vegita as well. "Vegita! He just defeated Freeza" "I could him a liar not a weakling," Lmao.
That's not entirely true..at all XD. Simpsons has like...1000 episodes worth of content I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) whereas Db/Z/GT has a combined total of 500 or so. In any case, Dragonball and Dragonball Z is where it's at! As fond as I am of the series, I can't shake the fact that the franchise's fandom is one big frickin' mess, due to the numerous english dubs we've gotten over the years and re-dubs by same voice-actors. Plus, it's an 'overrated' and underappreciated series in the eyes of the Naruto and Bleach fandom. Nonetheless, I'll always be a loyal consumer of Dragonball related products/merchandise I geek-the-fuck-out when it comes to the Dragonball-verse
This series is over 9000!!!!!! You know someone had to say it, so I'm getting it out of the way early. Oh, and Trunks is my boy.
Trunks was always badass. He was on the right track as a kid but then at the end of Z and in GT he was too....Nerdy and not enough of a badass, I know he grew up better than with the androids but still.
The Dragon Ball franchise is really, really overrated compared to the vast majority of other series out there (Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, the Gundam franchise, Trigun, Evangelion, Ahh! My Goddess, etc.) but it's fun to watch. At least it wasn't like Sailor Moon where there was a new bad guy in every episode.
Ten episodes later and fuck! Cell still hasn't been defeated! HURRY THE FUCK UP GOHAN! (up to the episode where the mini-Cells have just been kicked ass by Gohan btw) And.....MY GAWD! TRUNKS IS HAWT AS A SUPER SAYAN (sp?) WITH GOLD HAIR !! *faints*
