Dragon Ball Z sucks ass...

I tried watching this crap, because of all the hype among the kiddies. I watched 2 episodes on Cartoon Network just to get a good feel for it and I was surprised to see that it sucks. The plot moves unbearably slow with all the dramatic pauses and stupid facial closeups. Everyone in this stupid cartoon thinks they're a badass and the humor is WAY too asian. There's just not enough fighting...

I'm sticking to Powerpuff Girls and SpongeBob Squarepants.
 
nooo!

This is a Sad day for the hawk. To Hear someone say such awful things.. you just brough down my day...


Dragon Ball Z forever!

forget He-man...

Sorry man, but this is why I hate Japanese cartoons. Sure they draw nicely, but there's very little actual animation. The whole damn cartoon is a bunch of nicely drawn stills. It's like reading a book *shivers*.
 
UN-BELIEVEABLE! Dragon Ball Z is quite possibly the most kick ass cartoon on the network! I like Gundam Wing as well.

Come on, can you kick GoKu's ass? :)

he-man = clearly a prissy boy with skimpy clothing to match. can beat a dude who's all bones and has homo-erotic subtext



hmm......i used to hate DBZ initially to, thought it was slow and stupid....it grew on me and im hooked ;)

when they ACTUALLY fight its great....ive not seen another cartoon that matches it

I don't mean to diss on you or your neato-peachy keen avatar. But you gotta admit, that shit is super slow. Little kids don't want to sit there and follow some stupid in depth plot!!! They want action and fighting. I swear, there's about 6 minutes of comercials, 11 minutes of dialogue, 7 of dramatic pauses and extreme closeups, and if you're lucky the last 3 minutes is fighting. The remaining 3 minutes makes up the ending credits.
 
I can agree with all the things said about DBZ.......I was the same way at first, I couldn't understand why everyone was watching this crap. However, I came to understand that the show doesn't work for you if you only watch "here and there"........because I'll admit, alot of the episodes can be downright hideously homosexual. But than there are episodes which define the series..........and if you watch more than 10 of the "right" episodes, you'll actually see ALOT of stuff that the writers took from Akira Kurasawa ( my favorite director of all time). Vegeta is a classic example of Kurasawa's "flawed samurai". So if it's not your thing that's cool, but like Danielson said, the shit grows on you.

what BPB said

it can be gut-wrenchingly slow but i really builds the tension.....hell i was pulling my hair out during the frieza saga....its very addictve, so sad they ended it :(

its actaully based on an ancient chinese legend of a monkey boy (goku) a three yed monster (tien) and a street urchin (yamcha)
 
did anyone catch the saturday block of DBZ??? My god I thought i was going to throw a table through the TV!!! It's a 2 hour block, and they used the first two hours for the Buu saga.......than for the second hour they cut away back to the start after gohan killed cell.....totally fucking ridiculous. They even had previews for the next episode in the Buu saga after the 2nd episode of the 1-2:00 block. WTF is cartoon networks' problem??? I'm contemplating buying the whole damn saga and everything else I havent' seen......so Idon't have to wait around for cartoon network to stop being assholes.
 
True, if dbz was on another channel i would quit watching cartoon network in a second( well i still like dextor lab ) but anyway, i dont understand why they just showed half of the sage. The fools should of dubbed the whole sage and then showed it...


Grr makes me mad

its how they 'stretch' out a series.....they do lots of strange shit over here
 
Did anyone see the Powerpuff Girls episode where Bubbles got her tooth knocked out? Awwww, it was so cute. I heard it's based on an American legend called the "Toothfairy". Very strange.
 
you would be suprised with DBZ, I lo9ved it cause I gave it 2 weeks, then I grew addicted and my gf knows not to interupt me when its on. Vegeta is the best since he is evil at heart like myself = he has the best lines. For all of you who donn't like it, I recommend watching for mopre than 2 episodes cause the fight scenes are fucking great, since american animation doesn't do shit compared to japanese, And HEMAN is nothing compared to a super saiyan.
 
:doublefi:

i thought it was interesting a jap cartoon was based on a chinese legend


try watching an entire saga.....the frieza saga got me hooked, when goku goes super-saiyan its fricking awesome!



as for what they cut out, hercules actually called satan, and a hell of a lot of gore has been removed to.....

the sound trck is pretty cool (its only hen the americans mess with the rock/drums then you get this lame-y keyboard music)

oh yeah, what BPB said happened about the re-runs half way thru buu saga................they JUST DID IT HERE!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :flame:
