DBZ was hte anime that made mainstream america aware of anime. The two aren't even the same. Naruto has to develop it's characters cos that's what the story is about. DBZ is the classical story of good vs. evil. It doesnt call for all the details and stuff because at the end of the day evil is evil and it must be stopped.
Thank you! I couldnt have said it better myself!! Clearly a part of this guys childhood has died. DBZ is a legand, and as Melizzle stated, brought Anime/Manga to america. Not only do i greatly thank DBZ for that, but i grew up watching it at a young age, so it's also thanks to DBZ that i love Anime and Manga in the first place. Anime/Manga has been my life, and i thank DBZ for that. Maybe you should to ninjasaurus89. You are on a Anime/Manga site.:hint:

Indeed I feel DBZ- no, KNOW DBZ to be legendary, and is also what made countless of millions interested in the genre, but... We also have to consider that this is only feel of most, after all...

I like how DBZ Kai has Noreen fillers, but am also disappoint that it also lacks in other departments, as well... (less violence or some such am told).

Long live the 13 DBZ movies! (not so much the IRL version! Gah!)

Edit: oh, and DB GT was disgraceful indeed, and Resengan Surikan = discrocto disc indeed, haha.

As for this topic continuing...? All I have to say is...

... This is, to go, BEYOND

kai has as much violence but more cursing and more serious dialogue with alot more talk about death and stuff.
DB GT was disgraceful indeed
no it wasnt

plus he wanted to stop at the cell saga plus his oringanal story got messed up from what he wanted teh first time,
wrong. nowhere official is it ever established he wanted to stop with cell. complete fake rumour. his original intentions didnt even include super saiyan.

DBZ was hte anime that made mainstream america aware of anime
source?

DBZ is a legand, and as Melizzle stated, brought Anime/Manga to america.
no astro boy did.

I'm happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish, but Dragon Ball Z is the greatest and most influential anime of all time.
no astro boy and akira are. do some research. and how is it the greatest when its so 1 dimensional and filler ridden?

it was dbgt that was garbage...
no it wasnt

Naruto looks like a super saiyan
then wheres his mucles and aura? wheres his upright hair?

That movie sucked ass!
how?

worst movie ever made
see more movies. like freddy got fingered or transformers 3.

that movie is the worst crap that exists in this world apart from mosquitoes...
its bad in a good way. see more movies if you really think its the worst.

WORST MOVIE SINCE . . . Worst movie period!
plan 9, basically anything nostalgia critic has reviewed, freddy got fingered, catwoman, transformers, 2001 a space odessy (nothing happened), no country for old men. go see those and come back.

But DBZ has such vigor, excitement
it takes them 5 episodes to do something

You have to understand not everyone is an emo girl like you that needs bromance and people crying and stuff. Yes DBZ didn't go as deep as Naruto it really doesn't need too.
no it prefers 1 dimensional roid rage punching people and screaming liek they are constipated. puh-lease. this would only entertain 12 year old boys.

Infact that is one of my complaints about Naruto sometimes it gets to whiny like "look at my sad backstory wah."
vegeta = sad backstory and cries more than any other character besides chichi
tenshinhan = sad backstory
piccolo = sad conversion to good.

DBZ had guys like Frieza and Cell that you didn't feel sorry for.
naruto has orochimaru and zetsu to match those two.

It was a pure action and vs anime. You watched it for the fights and match ups.
when something is pure action, you know it will therefore only appeal to small children and teens with ADD. plus most dont even see the real dbz. they see the bastardised horrible commercialised english dub. and the fights arent even that good. lots of zippy lines, lots of light shows and generic energy blasts. no martial arts or skill or thought put into it.

Gohan vs Cell etc dragon ball Z always had the best fights.
gohan vs cell was a garbage fight. way too onesided and boring and gohan was way too out of character.
 

Abysmal.

Well for Z that is the case. It seriously lacked the martial arts. Okay, not seriously but it went unnoticed due to the light shows.
Not the case for DB though.​

And for someone who seems to be a fan of DB/Z, you seem to have a fairly negative view on it. I haven't once seen you say anything remotely positive about it.

Are you livid? No one cares about Astro boy, not once did i see it on TV as a kid. No games. Adds. Toys. Nothing. Some people havent even heard of Astro boy, and if so they thought it was just a saturday morning cartoon. It was all about DBZ. It was Akira if you rreeaallllyy want to get technical. Astro boy may have came her first, but its DBZ that's still on TV TODAY. DBZ is STILL making fans, and how long have the two been in America?

just because you dont doesnt mean others dont. its world famous and the origin of anime.

No games. Adds. Toys. Nothing.
look harder. theres even a full feature film

It was all about DBZ
no it wasnt. when z came to america, people had already watched fansubbed japanese version so when ocean dub came out and it sucked hard, that fanbase went nuts. especially regarding vegetas voice.

DBZ is STILL making fans, and how long have the two been in America?
astro boy came to america in the 50s.

@ bold

yeah as dbz kai which cuts down on teh violence and blood even bardocks scar didn't appear in it it was just a scar i doubt little kids would get scared of a scar compared to death every episode O_O and friza sounds like a girl in kai he sounds completly differnt then he does in the first dbz ( unless its just the games i have played with friza in some recent games but not the anime)

anyway stuff like dbz and naruto also caused many kids to kill them selfs trying to "fly" or climb walls with their "chakra" or try to use sand burreial. ( only death i can confrim from naruto imitators though is the sand one)

which gave anime a bad name thus why toonami was canceled and why they don't air it anymore unless its censored like dbz kai or lame gt naruto isn't even aired anymore and before then it was so censored you couldn't call it a real fight or a real anime. ( they even changed the anime of sexy jutsu on Disney XD) they should air it somewhere else besides cartoon places like Disney so real fans can enjoy it instead of no blood or nothing at all ( naruto shippuden is my first example)

it was really thanks to anime that some kids died and thats why you don't see one piece or naruto airing anymore, only bleach is still animated on adult swim. ( well in america i know japan still airs them)

because naruto had more sexual scenes more impossable things more deaths a messed up emo kid ( sauske) and smoking

one piece didn't last long on toonnami because

sanji goes insane over every women smokes and the blood. how can you even have luffy vs mr. 0 with out the blood on his hands? and mr> 2 showing namis boobs when he was transformed as her ( theres probably worse but i'm only up to chapter 221)


anyway my final case: dbz kai is just a censored version of dbz. dbgt still airs and i liked some parts of gt but still fights kinda sucked :\ naruto dbz and one piece are all reason why toonami is gone and why some kids died not saying that i hate these animes i love them but still they did cause some trouble.

the best idea would have been to first of all not air it on cartoon network or disney XD and try some other place like i don't know any place make a new channel if you have to for the anime lovers in america since anime is clearly yes cartoon like but not intended for 5 year olds :| or even 10 year olds most animes should be pg 13.

well i'm done my little rant sorry for the wall

So I used to watch DBZ when I was younger and thought it was the best thing ever(who on here didnt); but looking back I realize its probably one of the worst animes ever made. Horrible story line and no character development whatsoever.

I mean practically all the main villains (frieza, buu, etc..) had no motive and just wanted to destroy the world just because. No depth to any of the characters, no backstory on the villains everything is just black and white. Either evil or good.

In naruto and other animes countless episodes are spent developing the main characters and the villains and how they became the villain. I mean all of naruto is about how Sasuke grows into a villain. DBZ is just a very simplistic anime.Only thing going to DBZ was the action. Im just saiyin (lol see wat I did there)...


***UPDATE***

Also its probably not THE worst one out there cuz there's lots of animes and probably really bad ones that no ones even see but it definitely isn't one of the good ones.

Ok stop telling me about how Kishi got inspiration for Naruto from DBZ I know this already and I knew it before I made the thread. Doesn't change these facts:

FACT: DBZ has weak plot. If a 5 year old can grasp the plot then its not a very deep and meaningful plot.
FACT: DBZ is repetitive. I can sum up every saga of DBZ in about one paragraph which i will do down below.
FACT: DBZ villains and heroes depth ( they are either good or bad) no gray areas. The only exception to this was Vegeta who started out all bad then became good
FACT: DBZ fights were drawn out and boring, just raw power VS raw power no strategies involved at all?
FACT: you DBZ fanboys are just letting nostalgia take over your emotions. Stop getting your panties in a twist

Here is every DBZ saga in a nutshell

Scene of Goku and his friends all happy and relaxed. OH NO! enter powerful alien headed to earth. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. finally after a month of episodes villian reaches destination. Good guys fight villian. Villain transforms into different form. Pwns heroes. Everyone lies on ground waiting for Goku to come save them. Goku arrives. Kicks ass. Villian transforms AGAIN. Kicks gokus ass. Goku turns super saiyan and kicks ass. Oh look ANOTHER F-ing transformation. Fight drags on. Both Goku and Villian pretty beat up; Goku finished day with Spirit bomb. Everyone uses dragonballs to irreverse every bad thing that happened. Then Scene of Goku and his friends all happy and relaxed. OH NO! enter powerful alien headed to earth. REPEAT
i Will ring your neck like a bell. how dare you!!

DBZ does have depth.

Vegeta was a ruthless prince who's whole race was killed when he was only a kid by Frieza then Goku defeats Frieza the person he was planning on defeating all these years and not only that but he achieved super saiyan the legendary form of the saiyan race so his pride was damaged and everytime Vegeta would reach a new level of power Goku would always surpass him i think i've gone on about Vegeta enough.

Piccolo was once the fearsome King Piccolo but then he meet Gohan who showed him what friendship was about.

but that's enough for now the point is dbz does have some depth maybe not as much as naruto but to say it has no depth is crazy.

wrong. thats nicktoons, not kai. uncut kai exists. in fact i cant believe you think every version of kai is the nicktoons version. its been out for 3 years.

and friza sounds like a girl in kai he sounds completly differnt then he does in the first dbz
he sounds much less like a girl actually and more like a sophistacated badass which is what he really is. not a chainsmoking old woman like in z

unless its censored like dbz kai or lame gt naruto isn't even aired anymore and before then it was so censored you couldn't call it a real fight or a real anime. ( they even changed the anime of sexy jutsu on Disney XD) they should air it somewhere else besides cartoon places like Disney so real fans can enjoy it instead of no blood or nothing at all ( naruto shippuden is my first example)
nothigns stopping you simply buying uncut

dbz kai is just a censored version of dbz
no it isnt. ocean dub is though.

:( You people should not speak so unkindly to someone just because they don't like what you do. Some of the replies I have seen are awful!
My opinion on DBZ/GT ect? ._. I got bored. That is all. I just didn't find it entertaining at all, and I DO like some shounen animes.(Bleach, Kenshin ect., since I feel they offer something more. Oh, and Saint Seiya too.) I also did not grow up with it. (Sailor Moon for me.) so it doesn't have the same value to me that it may for you fans.
If you want an anime that actually has meaning, plot and depth, I would suggest Clannad.

yeah ocean dub vegeta around the beginning of the frieza saga was so epic. his voice was perfect I can still remember it as a kid. Sabat's voice doesn't do that era justice he sounds too old. But he is perfect for later.
