Dragonball appreciation [Z & GT]

[Wesley Pipes]

I watched z on toonami quite a bit, but then they just kept showing re-run after re-run after re-run of the episodes wher Goku beats up Freeza.

[Wesley Pipes]

You lie. They never actually fought. They just had episode after episode of them powering up.

Dammit, you caught me didn't he get to like super saiyan level 3 before anything happened?

[chronoaug]

I dun remember details like that. After school my friend would always take a break from basketball or skating or whatever to watch it. I just remember 90% of dbz episodes being them screaming with all kinds of lights going around them.

Dragonball original was perfect for me because it was on just before elementary school every day. All about the timing.

[WayneGibbous]

Figured I see Chrono in here...

Yeah the end of the Frieza saga was just him and Goku going "uhhhhhhhh-uhhhhhhhh-uhhhhhhhh" like a commercial for Ex-Lax or something. The actual fighting was mad anti-climactic.

My favorite was in Z during the Android/Imperfect Cell Sagas. That whole shit was crazy. I got all my boys together who thought that shit was gay and had them all hypnotized for like 3 hours by that shit. From when Trunks shows up to when Imperfect Cell blows up Piccolo - that shit was just hot.

Buu saga and GT were whack.

My bad on the GT again there Mrip..

Broly was sweet i'll give you that but the ginyu force was probably my favorite villian's

I wish I remembered all of their names. The android/cell saga was really good mainly because I hated the androids..

[WayneGibbous]

Cpt ginyu, jeice, berter, recoome, eh dont remember 5. Yeah they were dope except the gay pose. I used to jock Zarbon too. Him and Vegeta had some good fights. Early Z was bomb.

[Ahlvahroe]

i remember my brother, years ago, downloaded all of the gt episodes back when we were still on dial-up. thats was kinda stupid, at 5 hours an episode download it just didnt seem worth it.

[sushijerk]

I hated Andriod/Cell saga. The idea that some earth scientist can create some robots whose fighting level was above Super Saiyan just struck me as ridiculous. Then they threw in all that time travel and suddenly everyone was super saiyan I was like wtf is Toriyama doing.

Couple of years ago the guy who does One Piece interviewed Toriyama about DBZ and he didn't remember shit about it. I think he had no idea who Lunch or TaoPaiPai were and half the time was like "wow I don't even remember writing that." I was so sad.

[↓ Is The New ↑]

Well it's well known that Toriyama wanted DBZ to end with Goku defeating Frieza on Namek and then dying there as the planet exploded but due to the overwhelming response he was getting for the show he decided to continue so it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't remember much... but I for one am thankful that he continued it because I really enjoyed the whole Android/Cell saga.

[ken shinoda]

it was all good, but it all went to shithole during the majin boo period... everything was fucked up then..

[casual_coal]

Yeah fuck the Majin boo saga wasn't good at all

[↓ Is The New ↑]

I'm not a fan of SSJ3.

[bouwnt]

long hair + protruding raises above the eyes/absence of eyebrows was about as cool as anything ever got, back in 6th grade

[WayneGibbous]

After posting yesterday I went to Amazon and ordered 'Seasons' 1,2,4 and 5 on DVD. They jammed Garlic, Trunks and Android Sagas into one and both Cell sagas into one which is straight. Like $90 shipped for all 4.

[casual_coal]

Nice ^ I was thinking about doing that too tell when they arrive if its worth it.

[WayneGibbous]

I'll let you know when I get them. Int'l shipping with Amazon is usully quick...Hopefully the DVDs don't edit the violence like the VHS did back in the day.

[mrip]

pretty sure the dvds have the uncut japanese language track with subs

not sure if the american dub is cut or not

[casual_coal]

Yeah I would really like to believe there uncut wouldn't they say but, I went through my PS2 and it turns out I had one of the games like DBZ:Budaki I believe. Pretty bad game I mean but than most of them were

[please underestimate]

i aint gonna lie, when i was 10 or so. i would stand in the mirror "charging up" hoping a spark or somethin would show up.

[geekbonchic]

Even by Interwubz standards, this is pretty sad.

And hilarious.

[casual_coal]

Haha thats fucking funny

[conan.]

yo coincidence i find this thead me and my friend spent dis morning wtchin old dbz episodes on youtube..

frieza was great, some of cell was great and i hated buu saga... but reading about dragon ball af is great too

[casual_coal]

Both of those sagas were good and probably my favorite and also Garlic Jr. is a complete bitch

[sushijerk]

like DBZ:Budaki I believe.

They're still fucking making these. There's ads for the new one posted up in a lot of places around NYC. I can't even believe it, since they don't even change the characters, graphics, or game engine anymore.

Shit is like Madden, except they just take the same game from 98 and rerelease it every other year.

[kenthenoob]

true, i watched digimon during that phase.

i'm sure you still do.

Thats fucking sick they weren't even that good of games to be honest I can't believe they are making enough money to keep making them each year
