Play Budokai games or just watch the Season sets.
I'm more Anime fan than just DB, but I'm not that into Conventions, toys, games or collectables, just shows themselves, and manga.

Support the series I love, by buying as much (useful) merchandise I can, listen to the music very occasionally, as well as play the games.
I commonly watch the DVD's, and sometimes, read the manga.
I'm very much a Dragonball fan, and although I do.. almost everything a fan can do, I try not to let it.. mix in with my social life.

The way I see it, most nerds either have Star Wars or Star Trek... Dragonball is my poison!

People tend to take many beloved shows from their childhood, like TMNT, GI Joe or Transformers... For me, living in Spain, it was Dragonball!

SSj_Rambo · Post by **SSj_Rambo** » Sat May 24, 2008 4:30 pm

Personally I...

-Repeatedly read through all of Daizenshuu EX’s information/updates
-Stare at the Daizenshuu EX forums waiting for new posts as only a crazed stalker would
-Read as much of the manga as I can
-Rent/buy as much of the anime as my wallet will allow
-Write my own fan fictions
-Spend countless hours searching through fan sites for random Dragonball information
-Play the video games
-Attempt to learn as much Japanese as I can so I can watch/read as much as the original material as possible
-Run around the house singing CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA when no one is home
-Create random lists of my favorite characters, fights, episodes, songs, movies, ect

...but that's just me!

TheGreatness25 · Post by **TheGreatness25** » Sat May 24, 2008 4:37 pm

For me, living in the US, it was Dragon Ball! lol

- Own all of Dragon Ball
- Own all of Dragon Ball Z (everything they released anyway)
- Own all of Dragon Ball GT
- Own all of the movies
- Own all of the TV specials
- Own all of the video games for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 (except Budokai Tenkaichi 2)
- Have all of the Manga on my computer, but will be willing to buy it if Viz can "put their back into it" and make it good.
- Discuss it here with other great DBZ fans.

When I was in school though (I'm talking like 10 years ago), I'd print out pictures from the internet, I'd get some action figures (some crappy ones, I had like 4 or 5), own like 6 decks from the Collectible Card Game, own just regular image cards. Basically, I just started buying the show like 3 years ago. Before that, I would record it whenever it came on. I was pissed because I knew there was an uncut version somewhere out there, and I really wanted the Japanese version. So I made up my mind to buy everything on DVD and 3 years later, I have everything.

I have to thank to Season Sets really. Before the Season Sets, I didn't have more than half of the series and nothing of Dragon Ball. I gave up on collecting the show for a period of time. But when I saw that the Season Sets were...[censored for the sake of not starting a fight], I felt bad that I didn't own it. What's more is when I saw it on Cartoon Network (Saturday in the evening) for the first time in like half a year, it just pulled me in a weird way and I just HAD to get everything.

It's from my childhood. I have everything that made me happy as a kid. The Batman cartoon, the Superman cartoon, everything affiliated with them, Cowboy Bebop, Street Fighter animated movies (I saw SFII as a kid and it blew me away), and allllll of the DB universe (except for the Ultimate Uncut line that they killed, leaving me with only 9 DVDs out of the twenty something they were going to release). The joke is, I hate anime lol

My love for DB has died down recently. I buy the video games when they come out. That's about it.

Work on a paper-and-pen RPG for eight goddamn years.

Be the 'ringleader' of the English translation of Toyble's DBAF doujinshi.

And the side stories too (Mike, have you found time to scan in the Trunks one yet?).

And talk about it on the Daizenshuu EX podcast.

And pray every day for a better Funi release

Thank you!!!

Thank Toyble and Andrew and Tatsunoboshi Horoko and Herms and everyone else who helped out - I get embarrassed when people make me out to be someone working hard on them. Each page takes less than 10 minutes to typeset and finish.

Side note, though - just found out that at least two websites were hotlinking to the zip's - which explains why my server's bandwidth nearly dies every month

Also, I try and keep everyone aware of anything vaguely related to Dragon Ball.

Normally I just read the manga and sometimes discuss it with my girlfriend or one of my old friends from High School.

Captain Awesome · Post by **Captain Awesome** » Sat May 24, 2008 7:08 pm

My Dragonball related activities usually consist of.

-Watching the show
-Trying to get my girlfriend to watch the show
-Playing the video games (especially Super Dbz)
-Frequenting the forums
-Catching the podcast each and every week

For me personally, the podcast really helps me as a fan, it's a great way to keep up on news and developments, and is always a catalyst for interesting discussion, and it also often makes me want to go out and splurge on Dragon ball items (I finally grabbed my first Daizenshuu)

Post by **Kaboom** » Sat May 24, 2008 8:06 pm

For me, it's:

Talk about DragonBall in general.
Annoy everyone by being optimistic about the upcoming movie.
Update my FanFic every 3 months or so.
Make occasional threads for gathering information for said fanfic.
Plan a bunch of AMVs but end up only making one for the time being.
Do some fanart every so often.
