Meteora Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 [color=darkblue][size=1][i]I love Dragonball because it was the starting of everything. The starting of a legend. SO to me DragonBall is really important. Plus it is a lot funnier at times than DBZ.[/color][/size][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 [size=1][color"666666"] Yes, I like DragonBall mostly because of it startying off at the very beggining. I prefer the american dubbed version because I go to church and stuff. Anyway they are showing new episodes of Dragonball. So I think Dragonball is veryimportant.

Stuart Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 [color=darkred][size=1]The commercials make it look awesome.. but the show is rather boring.. I would like to buy the whole Dragonball set on DVD, just because of my love for DBZ[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burori Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 [i] I love the anime Dragonball. The very first episodes are the best I find. It explains so much of the story.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyandar Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Its not bad but I find it more boring than fighting. especially the first few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NuclearManiac86 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 dragonball is more humor than dbz/gt...cause u know all goku is is a little pure ball of energy and fun. dbz/gt, goku's matured alot, and hence..alot more action. btw..this is kakkarrot ssj4...been a long time since i've been on..

Hodger51 Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 well i could of guessed that it would of been a lot more humor with all the characters being that young and all but hopefully toonami won't cut the series half way thought due to low rateings!!!

Drix D'Zanth Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I think it's better than DBZ, persoanlly. The fights seem more meaningful, like Goku's ACHIEVED something than another powerup war/hidden power/new level of SSJ-lets powerup for 5 hours- slugfest. The character development is far more acute, and meaningful in DB. In DBZ it just goes downhill... huge battles permiated by a tiny bit of real character interaction. Granted, DBZ's battles are far more epic, but sometimes you need a STORY. Most of DBZ's stories are excuses to fight more... That's my take.

Kaze Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 [FONT=times new roman]I like DragonBall more than DBZ, they actually showed more skill in their fights and usually didn't use their ki attacks until they really needed them. Unlike in DBZ or GT where ki techniques are constantly used. That doesn't mean I don't like DBZ or GT though.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyandar Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 yea. i just dontlike Dragonball. its not my type of show to watch lol i find it to kiddy.. i dunno:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drix D'Zanth Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 God xyandar, can you please go into SOME sort of discernable detail? It's not kiddy at all. I suppose if you think clashing battles full of "hidden powers" and "new ssj levels" are any more mature than plot development.. then.. I gues I understand why you cannot substantiate your opinion to the LEAST. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodger51 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 well it looks like it will been a good show to watch, i really want to see the Tournaments and goku defeat the red ribon army which i have heard are quite good??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now feel free to tell me im wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibatku Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Dragonball is really funny. It's the beginning of DBZ and GT. It wouldn't be any fun if they didn't tell what he was like as a kid. It explains relationships. Like him and Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Bulma. Theres others, but those are like the main ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satan665 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Dragonball is really refreshing after watching too much DBZ. DBZ really lost any sort of originality after the Cell saga in my opinion. They kept the series going but it had no emotional impact whatsoever. Thats a real problem too because the animation is lousy and the real draw in the first place is the characters. So basically I really look forward to the new episodes of Dragonball every day. The stories in between the big fights are fun, and Goku as a kid is really cool. The dub/funimation crew obviously spent more time making it actually funny in the translation. The dialogue in DBZ is just horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Holiday Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 There are very few episodes with Goku running around helping dinosaurs or running away like a scared kid. DragonBall has a lot more depth to the characters and they all have a reason for being there instead of the cameo appearances they recieve in DBZ. The fighting is also better oriented with nice fact that everyone can still be beaten here it's all pre-goldilocks there's no uber powers they keep them fairly even. But when a stronger power does appear there's actually a storyline to it and how they will defeat it. The humor is the true gem of the series though the first thirteen episodes being the most humorous of the whole series in my opinion. But even in later episodes when it get turned down just a notch it's still all there and very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
