Kanzenshuu User Survey RESULTS!

[MarCas92]

Here are the results! Also, apologies for using the English titles. I normally type out the Japanese titles but it's a lot easier to type "Tree of Might" than it is to type out "The Super Decisive Battle for Earth". So without further ado here are the results with 160 responses.

Favorite Anime:

Spoiler:

Dragon Ball Z was the winner with 41% of the votes. Dragon Ball started off with a strong lead on the first day but ended up with 31% of the votes by Sunday. Dragon Ball Kai came in 3rd with a surprising 22% of votes. Super obtained 1% and GT 5%.

Best Dragon Ball Movie:

Spoiler:

Path to Power with 49% of the votes. 2nd place was Mystical Adventure with 23%. 3rd was Sleeping Princess with 16% and Legend of Shenlong in last with 11%. Although, I don't like Path to Power as much as most others, the survey seems to suggest that the consensus is that Dragon Ball movies only got better as time went on. Your thoughts?

Best Dragon Ball Z Movie:

Spoiler:

Battle of Gods with 48% of the votes. I was debating splitting up the original 13 movies and the 2 new ones, but that wouldn't have been as interesting since Bog would've crushed RoF. 2nd place was Fusion Reborn with 11% of the votes. I actually thought 2nd place would go to Wrath of the Dragon but that ended up in 5th place. With Broly in 4th with 6% and RoF in 3rd place with 9%. Everything else scored 4% or less. The only 2 movies that didn't receive a single vote were "Lord Slug" and Bio-Broly".

Worst Dragon Ball Z Movie:

Spoiler:

Bio-Broly with 41% of votes. Don't lie, we all saw this coming. I'm surprised however as I expected that number to be a lot higher. 2nd place was Super Android 13 with 11% of the votes. That was a surprise to me. I always thought most people placed it in the "meh" category. I guess there is some strong hatred towards it. 3rd place was Lord Slug with 9%. Another surprise to me. I thought it would be maybe one or 2 people would vote it as their favorite, but nope! No one. 4th place was a four way draw! with 6% of votes for RoF, BoG, Broly: Second Coming and Return of Cooler. Everything else was less than 4%. When the survey started, Return of Cooler was 2nd place for the first day and I thought that was going to end up being 2nd place. THAT would've been really shocking in my opinion. Cooler's Revenge was the only movie that didn't receive any votes for worst movie.

Anime or Manga:

Spoiler:

Anime. But by a very narrow margin. When the survey started, Manga actually held a really strong lead for a while. But in the end it was 32% of votes for Manga, 36% for Anime and 32% for No Preference.

Favorite Character:

Spoiler:

Son Goku. Yes, the main character won! How cliche. With 29% of the votes so it wasn't an overwhelming majority. 2nd place is a tie! With 15% of the votes EACH, the Prince of All Saiyans:Vegeta and Big Green Piccolo. I expected either or, but not a tie! 3rd place was Gohan(I'm going to assume they were all the votes for Goku's spawn and not the geriatric) with 11% of the votes. The only other noteworthy were Beerus and Kuririn who tied for 5th and Trunks who got 4th. All of the Trunks voters specified Future Trunks except for 3. Whether you count those 3 or not, Future Trunks still got more votes than Beerus and Kuririn. Also, Yamcha recieved 1 vote.

Favorite Arc:

Spoiler:

Namek Arc with 27% of the votes. A big difference when you conisder 2nd place was the Android Arc with 15%. Boo came out with 11% and the Saiyan arc with 9%. I allowed people free responses, and grouped them all into these Arcs:

1. First Hunt for the Dragon Balls (2 votes)
2. 21st Budokai
3. Red Ribbon
4. 22nd Budokai
5. Piccolo Daimao
6. 23rd Budokai
7. Saiyan Arc
8. Namek Arc
9. Garlic Jr. Arc (2 votes)
10. Android Arc
11.Boo Arc
12. Beibi Arc (0 votes)
13. Super 17 Arc (0 votes)
14. Shadow Dragons Arc (2 votes)
15. God Arc(Super) (1 vote)
16. Otherworld Tournamnent Arc (0 votes)

Now I can already hear the bitching "But Cell games is separate from Androids bleh bleh bleh" and etc. This is what made the most sense to me. I split the arcs after counting each individual vote in order to come up with this grouping. For example: 2 people specifically voted Cell Games and the rest said Android Arc or Cell Arc. Why should I have 3 seperate arcs and split up votes like that? Just lump it all together. In retrospect I should've given definite answers instead of leaving it open ended. Oh well, live and learn. Hanging on the edge of tommorow....

Favorite Villian: Freeza. No point hiding it. Did anyone really expect anyone else to win? With 50% of the votes, it's clear that Freeza is and always will be a fan favorite. Even if RoF didn't exist, I still believe he would've won this poll. But RoF might've helped . The 2nd place winner was Cell with 14% of the votes. Boo came in 3rd with all forms counted at 9%. Other votes came in for Vegeta, Piccolo Daimao and Beerus. But they didn't even crack 5%. Tadayoshi Mamamuro recieved 1 vote as well. LOL!

Favorite SSJ Form:

Spoiler:

Super Saiyan 1with 28% of the votes. Can't beat the classics. SSJ2 came in 2nd with 19% of the votes. 3rd was SSJ4 with 13%. 4th was Super Saiyan God(Red Hair) with 12% of the votes. 5th was a tie between Super Saiyan Blue and Super Saiyan 3 both with 11% of the votes. Also, SSJ5 got 1 vote and SSJ Grade 3/Super Buff Saiyan got no votes.

Favorite non-SSJ Form:

Spoiler:

This one was tricky. There are so many transformations in DB that it would be impossible to have a list for people to choose from. But leaving it open ended means that I get answers like "Freeza" which I assume means all of his forms, but also "Freeza's Final Form". If i count them all as one do I count all the Cell's as one? Due to the formatting of this question: if you didn't specify I gave every form a vote. For example, if you only typed in "Cell". That's technically 4 votes, one for Imperfect, one for Semi-Perfect, one for Perfect and one for Super Perfect. I know using this system does open up problems, but none of the votes were close enough to make a big difference. There was still a clear winner with Final Form Freeza with 18% of the votes. A surprising 2nd place went to Kaio-Ken with 13%. 3rd was Perfect Cell with 9% and 4th was Oozaru with 8%. Golden Freeza and Ultimate Gohan didn't even crack 5% to my surprise.

How do you feel about DB: Evolution?:

Spoiler:

It was awful. With 62% of the votes, it seems you guys really hate this movie. "So bad its good" was the 2nd most popular opinion at 15%. Also it seems the devil himself took part in this poll as "I thought it was a great movie" received 1 vote.

Favorite Dragon Ball Video Game:

Spoiler:

Budokai 3. 21% of votes for Budokai 3. 2nd place was Xenoverse with 18%. 3rd place was Tenkaichi 3 with 14%. No other game past 10%. Rats! I was hoping Hyper Dimension would get some love.

What language do you prefer?:

Spoiler:

Japanese takes it with 56%. English follows with 35% and others at 9%. Maybe in the next poll we'll fingd out what that other 9% is?

Favorite Attack:

Spoiler:

Kamehamehawith 33%. 2nd place was the Final Flash with 11%. No other attack cracked 10%.

What is your overall opinion of the fanbase?:

Spoiler:

Indifferent with 40%. Negative was 2nd with 32% and positive with 28%. In a way, I'm glad people don't put to much stock into how they percieve their fanbase. But hopefully we can get the positive number up!

Well! There you have it! I hope to do one of these again soon! Leave suggestions/comments/complaints etc. I see a lot of trends worth discussing here. For example, it seems that Freeza was a big winner today. Is that because of RoF, or has he always been that popular? Why did no one pick Bio-Broly as their favorite movie? Why do a lot of people prefer Dragon Ball over Z, yet Dragon Ball arcs didn't receive that many votes in the Favorite Arc category? Lot's of interesting stuff here.

Own up! Who put Tadayoshi Yamamuro for "Favourite Villain"? That's absolutely hilarious.

[Faustus]

Not much, but I'm glad to see my opinions on a) Freeza's 4th form's design and b) the fanbase validated by the rest of y'all.

[voltlunok]

I must admit I'm a little bummed with the results. I was kinda hoping for some variety but it seems that wasn't the case. The survey was fun though! Really made me think about what I liked about the series.

[LightBing]

Thanks for doing this, I find these things really interesting. Although the results were predictable.

I suggest for the next one to ask less general questions. Like favorite Red Ribbon member, most impact full death, favorite filler character, etc...

[dae428]

I'm actually quite surprised that the Saiyan arc ended up as 3rd. While I put down the Boo arc as my favorite, I always figured that the Saiyan arc was the typical fan favorite of the Kanzenshuu crowd.

[fadeddreams5]

With 50% of the votes, it's clear that Freeza is and always will be a fan favorite. Even if RoF didn't exist, I still believe he would've won this poll. But RoF might've helped

If anything, it probably hurt him.

[Khin]

I would like to know who's that guy who voted Dragon Ball Evolution as a great movie.

[MajinMan]

Pretty predictable results, but a fun survey nonetheless. If you happen to make another survey, I would recommend adding questions about music such as "what's your favorite opening" or "what's your favorite soundtrack?"

[JulieYBM]

Not much, but I'm glad to see my opinions on a) Freeza's 4th form's design and b) the fanbase validated by the rest of y'all.

I honestly don't remember if I did or didn't. The late hours I work these days are killing me!

Just at Super only getting 1%. I wonder if it's because it's so new or it was just generally unliked by the people who voted.

[Neo-Makaiōshin]

My opinions on the results:

1. Battle of God is the winner faith in the fandon restored !!
2. Bio Brolly the worst ? Not surprised at all
3. So someone like DBEvolution, he/she wants to see the world burn.
4. Surprised that the android and Bu arc manage to enter the top 3, i always got the impression that kanzenshuu user really hated those 2 arcs.
5. Goku>>>everyone
6. Nothing surpasses Kamehameha greatness

[SpiritBombTriumphant]

Bog would've crushed RoF.

Well this is news to me. I loved Resurrection 'F' infinitely more than Battle of Gods.

[danielsan_190196]

I voted Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the guy deserved it.

[shinmaru]

I'm surprised to see BOG as the number 1 movie and the Shinkikoho not in the top 3 favorite attacks.

[Lord Beerus]

I voted Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the motherfucker deserved it

You deserve a gold star. Well played.

I'm just glad BOG was voted as the best Z movie. It freaking deserves it.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Hmm nothing terribly unexpected except I did expect the Manga do beat the Anime (unless people were thinking of Kai when they voted).

[Thedoctor2016]

For me DBZRF was better than BOG i must be wrong i think Jaco and freeza makes it a better film and i was sick of Bog due to super being slow af

[FortuneSSJ]

Just at Super only getting 1%. I wonder if it's because it's so new or it was just generally unliked by the people who voted.

Its nornmal. Super is still new and barely have any new content. Wait until Universe 6 arc to start.

[Ree]

I'm surprised GT got more than Super but then again Super is still new.

Best DB movie, not much to say. I thought BoG might win best Z movie but not by so much and I'm glad Broly at least got top 5 Bio-Broly, understandable but i still would ahve liked to see a vote. although I think SA13 is worse than Bio Broly.

I voted First Hunt for the Dragonballs! who was the other guy?

only 14% for Cell? Vegeta and Beerus not even 5%? thats surprising but then again RoF hype still hasnt died,

I cant remember which SS form i voted for but think it was the fake ss5.

I voted "Evolution is great" but I've never actually seen it.

Out of curiosity how many people voted for Legend of the super saiyan (game)?

Cant remember what i voted for for the rest of the categories.
