The lack of respect Dragonball and its fans get.
Today I came upon this quote from another anime forum, that really got to me: ''Has anyone ever actually finished DBZ? I propose that anybody saying they did is a lying liar who lies. Or psychotic.'' Maybe I'm being oversensitive but comments that suggest that people who enjoy Dragonball are stupid ...

The Z-warriors don't care if people get killed?
Here something that always bother me, People here say that Goku and friends don't really care if innocent people get killed in their battles because their martial artists and not comic book superheroes. Yet this contradicts the characters in-series reactions to the horrible things the villain like F...

Is Dragonball deeper than it looks?
One of the things that always really annoyed me was anime fans complaining about how Dragonball/Z has no depth compared to other manga/anime like Gundam, Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, Death Note, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Monster, Berserk etc. Would you say diffrerent?

It would depend on the timeframe from which they come from the first half of Dragonball are about Naruto levels of power when in Dragonball Z we go from ''I can blow up a planet'' (Freeza saga) to ''I can rip holes the fabric of space-time by power up''. So if we were to drop the Goku of Buu saga in...

Freeza vs Cell: Who was the better villain?
Of all the villains in Dragonball, two tower above the rest-Freeza and Cell. Which of the two do you consider to be overall the better villain?

Freeza and Cell tied in first place. Majin Buu (all forms) in second. Piccolo Daimao in third. That is, and always has been, a lame-ass excuse. Vegeta rightly deserved the ass reaming he took from that. It's no more idiotic than him daring Freeza to transform in to his second form or him not just bl...

Wow, I can't believe so many people here dislike the Cell and Buu arcs and yet still are the fans of the series, it boggles my mind. To me, it ending with Goku die on Namek would've been a horrible ending because A Goku being the hero of the story must get a happy ending (which got in the Buu arc) B...

It is almost certain that he intended to end the series there because of how much work he had already put into the series (he was tired) and that the Freeza Saga was a good place to end. But there is no proof of that, I don't think I've ever read any comments by Toriyama stating that he intended to...

On the "Dragonball was supposed to end with Freeza"
I've heard this rumor a lot on Internet forums and yet I've never seen any proof on Toriyama intended to stop there because in the manga there is no cut off point between the Freeza and Cell arcs unlike the Anime which was due to to the Garlic Jr. filler arc where in the manga, the Cell arc starts t...

The Japanese episode titles
Am I the only one who thought that the Japanese titles for every single episode of Dragonball Z were really stupid? I mean they were about a sentence long and gave away spoilers for the episode like "Ferocity of the Saiya-jin! Kami-sama and Piccolo Both Die!", "Freeza's Terrible Decla...

Dragonball fans and the rest of the anime/manga fanbase.
Do non-DB anime/manga fans look down on us for liking what they see as an inferior show/comic? I've met a lot of anime fans who dislike or outright hate Dragonball for reasons like they don't like the art style, they think the characters are boring and bland, you think the series drags on forever, o...

The stronger they got, the more control over their powers?
I was wondering about how it is the Z Warriors in the Buu Saga don't blow up the planet just by powering up. And I came to the conclusion that the stronger the characters got, the more control they had over their Ki. That is to say they learned how to use energy attacks more effectively as time went...

Is it true that Toriyama hated working on Dragonball?
Is it true that Toriyama hated working on Dragonball? Because I heard rumors say that Toriyama originally planned for it to be short manga but kept going because it was popular and that over time he got sick of doing it.

Does Funimation really treat Dragonball that bad?
Does Funimation really deserve all blame and abuse it gets here on this board? I mean if not for them, DBZ in America would have died when Saban abandon the series. And if not for them dubbing DBZ, anime in the USA would not have become so sucessful as it is today. If they really didn't care for the...
