I am going to admit that I am a huge DGZ fan. When the first dub of it came out I was not a fan, but when funimation took over the dubbing of it I totally fell in love with the show.
Yes, I know that there were incredibly crazy moments where a guy could get throw into a building and get back up like it was nothing. That was the cool part. Sometimes the fights lasted too long and you're like dang, but the whole time I was sitting there like " Get him, Punch him, Blast the mo-fo!" It was great entertainment.
So, Where are my DBZ fans?

Harumichan loves Trunks. There use to be Trunks pictures every where. OMG! It was madness.
Cooler is pretty awesome.

I am a HUGE DBZ/GT fan!!!
i loved almost everything about it.
the only part that got a little too carried away, was the fact that Goku never knew how to stay dead. I think he came back to life way too many times, i mean... that s**t just is'nt healthy for you.
even though im a huge fan, i dont know the current situation of DBZ/GT...
i heard that the main reason they stopped making new episodes was because the American cast got tired of dubbing in the voices.
but dose that mean their still makeing new episodes in Japan?
i dont know... ever since i saw the last episode, i guess i got less interested and never found the time to go on the internet to answer any of my questions. sweatdrop

I'm not sure what I am... DBZ started me on drawing manga and my first two charachters (Goton and Zynk) I got Goton from Gohan because of a speech error my friend Johntrell made. He used to be named Gotranks (before Goten and Trunks fused). His brother Zynk came because I wanted him to have a brother. I based his hair off of the Pokemon game charachter's hair. It looked crappy, and I got the hair right now.
Anyway soon after that I started disliking DBZ, people kept calling my work DBZ, and it's based off of it, but I still didn't like it. I just accepted. I had a mind set that I didn't like DB series, but when GT came out I watched it. Oh well. If they come out with another one (which they won't) I'd watch it. I guess that now I don't really like the artstyle. Everyone's so muscular. Hmm.

For me as a child, Dragonball Z was one of my secret, guilty pleasures. I started watching the show on Cartoon Network's Toonami when I was about twelve or thirteen. I was really drawn to it because it was unlike any other cartoon I'd seen before (even other Japanese animes like Pokemon). Typically, I'd watch the show after I came home from school, which was just about the same time my mom came home from work. She used to always talk about how ridiculous Japanese cartoons were, DBZ in particular. And, of course, I loved my mommy and always told her she was right. So, when she walked through the door weekday evenings, I was always quick to turn off the TV and then encourage her to go upstairs, so she could relax in at least a 15-minute bath. sweatdrop
Eventually, of course, I came forward and confessed my DBZ addiction to my mother, who thankfully didn't disown me as her daughter. I started collecting the graphic novels, which I thought were (and still think are) even more amazing than the anime. It took a long time before I found some friends with a common interest in DBZ, but I stuck with the story throughout the years nonetheless.
To this day, I'm still a huge DBZ fan. I can't believe how hard Akira Toriyama worked to produce this series; his talent for storytelling/drawing has inspired me to create fanfiction, fanart, fanwhatever... Granted, DB/DBZ do have their flaws, but I think they were more on the part of the animators' than the mangaka himself. Funimation's choice in voice actors will forever leave me disappointed in the English version of the anime. The Japanese animators' decision to produce the series when Toriyama hadn't finished the manga yet also resulted in dragged out battle scenes and plot holes that irritated and exhausted me.
On the other hand, I love Toriyama's unique style of drawing, his great sense of humor, and his ability to inspire hundreds of American girls to pool together and create an entire catalogue of Bulma x Vegeta fanfiction. wink The characters in Dragonball Z, good and bad, are so frigg'n awesome. I mean, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, Zarbon, the Ginyu Force, Android 18...so cool! DBZ is like an anime classic to me. I know this was a long post, but I've never had a chance before to really say how much I love DBZ. So here it is! Now, skim onward (or skip entirely past posts so you can submit your own for more gold! Oh, and kudos to those who made it through.... I usually don't type THIS much) xd

Mira, I guess I was lucky because I had my cousin and we use to watch that show together all the time. When I first started watching it I wasn't a big fan, but soon became one. I think that even after I started to like it I denied it. Over time I admitted the truth to myself and the rest of the world.
I have never read the dragonball manga, but maybe someday I'll give it a chance. I'll have to put it at number 50,457 hehe. There is so much stuff that I need to watch or read before it.
They did drag out a lot of the fights. Sometimes I wanted to scream. It was like, " Come on people!!!"
Android 18 is one of my favorites, too. She's so awesome and Vegeta is great. I better mention Trunks for Harumichan hehe.
I thought that Funimation did an okay job with the dub. The best Voice actor in the dubbed version is probably Chris Sabat. He did the voices of Yamcha, Vegeta, Piccolo and a few others.
Valient-Boy: Don't let people get you down about your artwork.
I do think it would be nice to see another season of the Dragonball series, but I feel that if there was another one it would be like beating a dead horse. Or something like that.

Chris Sabat was decent... at least tolerable where other voices (i.e. Goku) drove me to the brink of insanity. I think sometimes it wasn't the voices so much that bothered me, but just the English script... it got cheesy at times. Then again, you hear me complain and yet I still keep buying all the new DVDs... sweatdrop
