| #1 Posted on 28.7.02 2158.55 Reposted on: 28.7.09 2159.05 | For all those closet Dragonball Z fans out there, I felt it was my duty to inform you all that YTV will start showing Dragonball Z movies starting from 8:00 PM this Friday (Augest 2nd). The movies playing will be 'Dead Zone', 'The World's Strongest', 'The Tree of Might', 'Bardock: The Father of Goku', 'The History Of Trunks', and 'Lord Slug'.
As lame and as slow as Dragonball Z is, I still plan on getting together with a fellow Dragonball mark, and staying up all night witnessing the epic battles that NEVER GO ANYWHERE!!!
... Maybe one day they'll do a really good Anime Marathon where they show shows like... Fruits Basket... and Gravitation... *Laughs* Not bloody likely in this country though.
Oh well. It should be fun!!! Promote this thread! | | Jaguar

Youch...Reboot looked pretty cruddy to me.
One day I'm going to edit all of the DZ battles so they flow continuously. I should get a good twenty minutes of action, don't you think? | RockyRulez

I discounted it for years (off of looks alone) but when I actually watched it, it amazed the hell out of me. The first two seasons are kinda kiddy with only a few sprinkles of mature humour but once season 3 kicked in it really becomes must see TV. | Dahak

| #8 Posted on 30.7.02 2146.42 Reposted on: 30.7.09 2159.07 | While I like DBZ the battles do drag. Basicly they always go like this. Goku faces the main bad guy after like 15 episodes. Goku gets his butt kicked at first for 1 episode. Goku remembers he is fighting to protect all live ever in the entire universe so he kicks ass for 1 episode. Then the bad guy moves up to some new level. Then Goku eventually reaches level 43 Super Seian (sorry if I spelled it wrong) then kicks butt. Unless he dies and Gohan finishes him off. Oh and there is a shitload of staring in the middle. | Zeruel

It's the only thing on at one in the morning here, and about 1 out of every ten episaodes is really cool. It's like McDonald's food- really terrible but occasionally irresistable. | Dahak

| #11 Posted on 31.7.02 0755.52 Reposted on: 31.7.09 0759.01 | The Goku vs. Cell fight is eternal. Cell beats up Goku. Goku remembers or figures out some new power. Cell moves up to a new level. Repeat 3 times. But that being said DBZ is a good show. The characters are suprisingly deep for a cartoon. Oh and sorry if I butcher the spelling. Krillin is only a coward with Goku there. Otherwise he pretty much fearless. Vegeta is completely jealous of Goku and even after 13 years never calls him Goku it's only Kackorot. Vegeta doesn't really treat Gohan all that bad even though Gohan did as much to defeat Vegeta and is as powerful as his Dad. #18 is an ice cold bitch who only wants money. Frieza the universes most dangerous midget homosexual. Master Roshi a complete perv with a really weird ass training system. And Hercuel always cracks me up with his blow hard antics, cowardice, and lying while he still deep down inside thinks he is the greatest ever. | Scott Summets

Hercuel = Mr. Satan And as for Frieza (Freezer), he was the perfect heel in Japan and wasn't gay. He was feminine, but he was more of a 19th century style gentleman than a homosexual. It was a great character as he was so polite and soft spoken to Goku, yet he rejoiced in offing his friends. Almost more like the Flair character of DBZ, as he was a rich, arrogant, styling type of guy who was the dirtiest SOB ever in a fight. Even with all the plot holes and such, DBZ is what got me into Anime, so I will always love it. | RockyRulez

Goku loves to fight, and loves a fair fight... thats why he never takes a cheap advantage. Also, he often gains a new power in a fight due to the cirucmstances of the fight, i.e. he sees a friend getting massacred and gains new strength to fight. | Nate The Snake

Also, don't forget that thanks to his incredibly convenient space alien were-baboon-mixed-with-King-Kong heritage, every time he gets his ass kicked he comes back ten times stronger.
I just can't get into a show where the characters are so absurdly overpowered that they can destroy planets on a whim. It's like watching people with severe self-esteem issues roleplay online.

That is a big plothole in DBZ. Master Roshi (Kamesennin in Japanese) has a power level of 139 and can blow up the moon, Vegeta was 18000 and could blow up the Earth, and then during the Frieza fight Goku was 15,000,000 at Super Sayain x 1. Considering he reaches Super Sayain x 4 eventually, it seems that at that level one punch should level the Earth. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
