Apart of me believes that Dragonball Z isn't as liked as it should be in the west is because Funimations english dubbed episodes. Clearly they set out to satisfy a younger target audience... But hey, never bothered me... I've always loved the show.

I agree, FUNimation did target a an audience from 7 to 11. According to my friends, it is childish and repetitive. My dad says that he doesn´t like the English dub because the voices are bad and the whole ¨powering up¨ is dumb. To me I find the English dub a little annoying when compared to the original Japanese. The original is a little bit more mature and better developed. My Dad prefers the German dub, because he speaks German and 90% of my Japanese footage doesn´t have subtitles.

I would say that Japanese voices are annoying but then again i think so would everyone if u watch about 200 episodes in english and then switch to japanese. Its just about getting used to the voices

The things I disliked about DBZ;

1. Some characters weren't fully developed, who could have been really great characters. Many characters were underrated, unappreciated I suppose.

2. Kinda Sexist..


As far as the English dub, it was alright I suppose. I watched the spanish dub version in Spain, and it was really good. Everything else was cool with me though lol, but I guess we can't have everything that we want.

P.S I love Dragonball Z and always will! Lol

Well, its an anime. If you don't like anime, then you won't like Dragonball because its one of the most popular ones.

i used to think DBZ was fer nerds too.

i remember the first anime i ever got addicted to was street fighter. I have street fighter all over my room, and was a master at the super nintendo game ( <("<) ). I then saw the street fighter 2 movie (DEFINATELY A MUST SEE, DOWNLOAD IT!!!!) It was awesome fighting. just liek an animated bruce lee er jackie chan
I remember the very first dbz episode i saw.

Yeah it was the most popular until NAruto moved in and now I like Naruto better then DBZ, but I still Love DBZ. Naruto Is the Highest watched right now If I am not mistaken in Japan.

My dad doesn't like anime period and tells me to grow up and wants me to start looking into school more and get a job and drivers liscense. I don't blame him for a job and Drivers liscense but I hate school. I never did like it because I have been made fun of since 2nd grade and I am in my Senior year right now about to graduate which is nice. I am home schooled on the PA Cyber school.

Sorry I got kinda off topic now to get back on ppl usually don't like it like my friend because it really isn't realistic. He likes Naruto but that really isn't realistic either but more so then DBZ. Me I don't if it is realistic or not so I just watch it. When I went to public school there were a few ppl who liked it and othe ppl who made fun of it. I usually put up a good case against them but they usually won. :D

other than DBZ, the only other anime i watched is Full metal alchemist.
Naruto was okay, but i could never remember the people because there is so many of them. and their names are too hard to pronounce. but i liked the episode when Naruto turns into that giant fox against Haku. That was sick

Just a passing thought if you want to watch a good anime watch Hunter X Hunter, if youve seen it before, you will understand why.

The reason i think people dislike DBZ is because they think cartoons are cartoons not realising DBZ is anime, as far as there concerned DBZ is for little kids only

They need there heads checked

Its my attitude deal with it
