For the most part I think it’s just whatever you saw first. I see YouTube comments from people who’ve only watched the Cartoon Network version, and they think the Ocean dub sucks, whereas some people think the exact opposite.
I take it the new releases from Funi are the real deal(finally).
Been wanting to check this shit out for awhile. Funny I never kept tabs on this series, but I know everything that’s gonna happen after skimming through the first two pages.
The fan art from other known artists was interesting…and surprisingly, the picture by the One Piece artist was actually good!? We dipped into Bizzaro World for a second there…because One Piece is ugly as a pig’s ass…maybe the manga itself is better visually, but I already doubt that. Yeah, I can’t resist the cheap shot at One Piece…I always have to take the opportunity.
It’s interesting how the massive hate died down once DBZ stopped being the most popular anime in the U.S…back in the old SRK days…DBZ was like Halo. One mention of it…just in passing…that would result in the next 17 people chiming in about how much DBZ(the dub of course, because everything from Japan is a flawless, blessed gift from God Himself, ya know.) sucks. Now, a DBZ thread only gets a few hateful comments.
The next mega popular show, Naruto—I’m genuinely surprised that the hate bandwagon there is so weak and small. I thought surely at least 80% of the folks from the old Naruto threads would go on constant hilarious tirades about how it sucks now because it happened to make it to U.S. television…I’m actually rather disappointed in the lack of otaku-fanboy hatred.
*I’m mostly getting the DBZ dvds for these key moments: Zarbon vs. Vegeta, the entire Saiyan Saga from when Nappa and Vegeta arrive on earth…and the battle with Freeza. These were the best moments of the show for me.
"…clear that garbage OFF the battlefield." 
It still gets me.
Goku vs Vegeta 2 still my favorite fight of the show…
vegeta arose into a level of beasting i never thought possible for a cartoon character
i distinctly remember me screaming “O NO HE DIDNT JUST SLAP AROUND GOKU”
i always thought one piece drawing is sucks…
How many DBZ characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Just one, but it takes 3 episodes.
Too bad Goku was holding back the whole time or it would’ve been GG for Vegeta.
The art in One Piece is ill, I don’t know what you guys are looking at.
Haven’t seen the anime.
The one thing i like about Naruto is that everyone has the opportunity to beast on someone at some point. When i look back at DBZ Tien,Yamcha,Krillian,and Piccolo kinda fell to the wasteside while Goku was the one that saved the day which is fine but it kinda sucks to me.
When i watch Naruto and see someone like Neiji or Shikamaru fightin the Sound Four its interesting to watch cause i know obviously Naruto isn’t gonna jump in and save the day like Goku and plus u get to see some potential in alot of the side characters.
Plus i actually like the Naruto dub alot. Gotta love Steven Blum as Orochimaru.
I say this all the time.
Kid Buu > all dbz villans … ever.
why?
when kid buu showed up… he didn’t talk … he just blew up the planet. Then got bored and started beating up people in heaven.
every… EVERY other villain in dbz had there ultimatums and there plans and wanted to see how strong there opponents are. Kid Buu didn’t talk he didn’t care he just blew up the planet and kept it moving.
Best fight?
SSj4 goku vs baby (gt)
Piccolo vs 17 (Z)
I don’t really have a favorite for db.
animes fight scenes in the past few years have been awesome. very above par of dbz…but only because dbz ended a long time ago and one piece clearly took pages from them…so did naruto.
their only good fights because of dbz.
yea for whatever reason toei animation is still cheap when producing there shows like one piece hence with the ugly designs,but honesty i enjoy more then naurto,and dbz.
true enough, that whole fucking fight got nerfed cause they decided to make goku even more broken
^all because Akira Toriyama is an asshole, pretty much. That was really a douchebag way to write things.
I find it funny that people run up to Chris Sabat at conventions, asking him to say “IT’S OVER 9000!!!” when it wasn’t even him who originally said it.
Did anybody see the One Piece/DBZ teamup anime? That shit was cool.
Oh, and here:
does anyone know where i can watch/buy the original Dragon Ball And especially, Dragonball Z Episodes before any type of redub was made to them? i only like the original OG voice actors, imo they were the best, the new voices for vegeta and gohan ,e ct are piss fucking poor, that goes double for piccolo.
anyway, know where i can find it? im sure they can be found with uncut footage too somewhere.
Re: best fights
I don’t have any DBZ DVDs, but I do have the last volume of Dragon Ball. Really nice fight at the end between Piccolo and Goku

I don’t know if any of that stuff is on YouTube.
edit: well, there’s a few AMVs, and the [media=youtube]BmAJtAEhOxA[/media]
The OG Dragon Ball dub?
Guess I’m the only one who enjoyed the Bardock movie. . . . even if Akira Toriyama didn’t make it. . .
At what point does Young goku turn into older adult goku when he marries chi chi, and before DBZ is made? that was part of the DragonBALL arc right? how many episodes was dragonball anyway before dragonball Z was made?
I would love to see the original Dub or DB and then DBZ if possible… also, does anyone know if they are dubbed, is DB AND DBZ unedited and uncensored? if not, can i get the next best thing and find it subbed? but thats a last resort kind of thing. i just want to see them in order and uncut, original dub, or at least, subbed. anywhere i can watch them online / buy them for cheap?
