Were you a fan of DBZ back in the day?

I used to watch it when I was younger. I liked it and thought it had a decent story up to the end of the Frieza saga where Goku supposedly dies in the blast after avenging his race. Then the show got kind of repetitive when it became all about the next "bad guy" and the next SSJ transformation (which was all just longer hair... except SSJ4).

 

Now they are doing a remake without all the filler called Dragon Ball Kai, but they haven't made an English version, yet, nor have they finished all the episodes in Japanese, but I watched a couple and it's looking much better than the original.

 

There's also a hilarious parody of DBZ called Dragon Ball Z Abridged made by TeamFourStar. They used to post their stuff on YouTube and got very popular getting millions of hits on all of their videos, but they got suspended due to copyright. You can find their episodes on http://www.tfsabridged.com . Trust me, the episodes are absolutely hilarious. You'll love it. The Bardock Movie parody wasn't that great, IMO, but I thought they did a fantastic job in all of the regular episodes.

i could never really get into it lol, i would try to watch it but it jus i dunno.

 

Same here. My friends and cousins were into the show but I could never get into it.

 

I was, however, really into the PS2 game and played that a lot. That was really really fun. I remember Gohan being my favorite.

i didnt like it and was excluded from a ton of convos back in elementary.... i remember everybody drawing pictures of DBZ characters and putting it in the front of their binders like some fashion statement or something... lol i thought that was sooooooooooooooo funny because some werent even all that and some were very decent (key word: THOUGHT... which means its from my POV and my opinion...)

 

as much as i tried to force myself to like it i just couldnt

Yup, I watched every single episode. What pissed me off though is when they got really far in the series, and then Tsunami decided to go back to like the first ever episode and work its way back to the episode they were on before.

 

I have like 5 movies, had a bunch of toys, a few video games, and my dad was really into it too for some reason lol. My friends were also into it.

 

Once I hit like 7th grade they stopped showing it so I stopped caring.

Pokemon>DBZ :)

 

Yeeeeeeeeup. :glasses:

 

 

 

I still was into DBZ though, I just hated how they took like 10 episodes to finish a big time fight. But I thought all the SSJ stuff was cool as hell.

Funny how this works because I've been watching some of the old anime shows I used to love as a kid, to pass the time.

 

Watched Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho so far and about 200 episodes into DBZ, I'm finding I love them just as much if not more, the only the I hate about DBZ is the Frezia saga was terrible and some episodes it's just them powering up for 15 minutes.

Still am a fan somewhat. I know they are re-releasing them in japan in HD, they redid the voiced with the voice actors and are now making it follow the manga more closely and cutting the show down to 100 episodes instead of the what 250?

 

so if it ever hits stateside, id get that bluray set.
