Hey guys ! I'm 22 years old and French. I just registered on this forum because I'm really hungry for Dragonball debates ! I discovered Dragonball, just like all the 90's French kids, thanks to a show called "Le Club Dorothee". I was 5 and I can even remember what episode it was. Piccolo, freshly fusionned with Kami, was fighting against Cell, If we can call this a fight, it was more about chit-chatting for 15 minutes...Anyway, 1 or 2 years later I discovered that you could also read Dragonball, what a surprise. I didn't understand much of it (probably because I was just turning pages randomly) but I still fell in love. I almost learnt to read with it and it was so cool cause there was many bad words. I never owned a lot of volumes myself though, my mother used to let me in the book section of the supermarket and I could read for hours without getting bored. I had to be sneaky in the beggining, it wasn't really allowed to read without buying but they never told me anything as I was a child. It's funny because when I go to the very same store nowadays, the alley is full of kids reading Naruto or Bleach, they even put chairs for them. Maybe I was kind of a precursor, who knows I kept doing this when I grew up a little, and now able to go to the store by myself. Grabbing 4 or 5 books and sitting alone in the alley was my favourite after-school occupation. I still asked my mom to pick me up when she was coming back from work. She didn't complain, it's cheaper than a nurse. I also turned my best friends into Dragonball addicts at that time, so much that they bought most of the books, very convenient for me . So yeah, thanks to the supermarket and my friends I probably read each volume 30 times at least, a lot more for the few ones I bought.I didn't keep watching the anime after I discovered the manga version. First of all because "Le Club Dorothee" was canceled in 1997, secondly because the manga version is far better. I wouldn't say I became an "anime hater", but it was really hurtful to watch it, even now. Plotholes, incoherences, fillers...I don't know what drugs the Toei guys were on but It must have been a very good one to give birth to Broly and his friends. And the episodes, come on, 1 minute of fight and 19 minutes of talking and camera travelling...*wind sound*. Oh, and I have to tell you about the french dubbing, a real masterpiece. Funny fact, we invented the name "Hercule". That's right, the american version stole the name from the French one when they were looking for a substitute name for "Mr.Satan" (cause yeah, for religious reasons and stuff...they couldn't keep Satan) and they thought that the French pick was a good one. The thing is we didn't change Mr.Satan's name for censorship reasons, we just already had a character called "Satan Petit-Coeur" (Satan little-heart) in the person of...Piccolo. Why did they change Piccolo's name in the first place ? Well, I guess the translation team was on pretty good drugs too. Just like his terminal-phase cancer voice wasn't enough. Anyway, I don't want to blame the anime too much, it would be ungrateful, I just hope most of you guys make a difference between what's canon and what isn't ! I'm glad to be here to share one of my biggest passions, see you online

Hi, welcome to the forum. Piccolo vs Cell in Ginger town is my favorite fight XD. That's awesome that a place holds so much memories for you of dbz that you can visit still. You sound pretty passionate about keeping with canon o.o, definitely good for power level arguments and the like. Hope you have a great time. |

Thanks mate !
Yeah, I forgot to say that when I was around 10~12 mangas were not very popular. The anime was "for kids" (french dubbing was really not helping) so when I used to say that I liked Dragonball I was being mocked most of the time, even if the book was great. So yeah, I might have a little grudge against the anime since then But I have nothing against the anime lovers, I respect every Dragonball fan (well, maybe not the GT ones...) And without the anime there wouldn't be Dragon Ball Abridged

The joy! What a great name xD. You will bring a lot of joy with that energy you showed with your opening post. I guess DBZ is the anime of many languages! I actually liked the filler scenes of DBZ anime. I read the manga too, but hey most people agree with you. Welcome to the forum! |
