I know I'm gonna get a lot of flak for posting this but still DBZ is not that strong plot-wise or character-depth-wise...

Other than power levels, DBZ is a good story and has good characters. It has a nice world design, many movies, games, episodes, action figures, and fans.

I'll agree that DBZ isn't as good plot-wise as some other animes or manga but the plot is still amazing. With so many different characters, true villains and places, DBZ still has a plot that anyone would love. DBZ's action is usually what outclasses other mangas. Have you ever watched the original DragonBall series? An amazing plot all the way through with the amazing action, the plot in DragonBall far exceeds its sequel.

I agree.
Other than the power levels I see no appeal to it what so ever.

I doubt that I would've liked DBZ at all if I did not watch Dragon Ball before.

because it's DBZ. The only way you can't love it is that you are to young to understand.

It was just epic. It was different than anything else out at that time, and for that particular time in anime, it had a good plot. Plot wasn't such a big deal back then. The characters are epic too. Many anime today are inspired by DBZ and DBZ essentially changed the way people in the West saw anime and manga.

It might not be the grandest or have the most complicated plot and mind boggling twists, but it is highly entertaining and is something a lot of us grew up with. That's why it's so awesome.

DBZ is just DBZ. It's just one of the best - if not THE best. And why? 'Cos in it's time, there was nothing like it. It's a fvcking wonder of the world.

DBZ, is the Father/God of Anime and it's the greatest Anime/Manga of all time.

You people wouldn't be saying anything negative about DBZ if you knew how much this legendary franchise did to the Anime world. People should be respecting this old Anime/Manga, not be hating on it.

There are better animes than dbz.

That doesen`t make it the greatest.

I'm not saying it's the greatest because of what the franchise has accomplished in the Anime world. It's the greatest of all time because of the Manga/Anime. I only made that point because people should respect DBZ, the Anime world wouldn't of been what it was today if it wasn't for DBZ.

Plot, characters, action, emotional depth, enjoyable. I'm not going to even make a whole paragraph on this because anyone who's watched DBZ should be able to see these things.
