What is your favorite DB series ?
DBS,DB,Kai,DBZ or GT ? What are your favorite series out of these 5 ?
Mine would be.
1. Dragon Ball Kai (Mainly due to it's pacing being way better than Z)
2. Dragon Ball Z
3. Dragon Ball Super
4. Dragon Ball
5. Dragon Ball GT
Note : All of them are subbed version.
I'm interested to know

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
I'd say the Dragon Ball anime is probably my favorite. The first half of the manga is my favorite too, but even then I think Dragon Ball as a whole was adapted a bit better than Z. I've said before that the Saiyan arc in Z is probably my favorite arc in the anime series, but I also think that the Freeza arc got very, very tedious in some parts. That isn't to say that the Dragon Ball anime didn't suffer from the same problem sometimes, but it was usually more bearable, at least to me.
I like Kai because we got an improved English dub (at least in my opinion), a better Freeza arc, and some cool insert songs, but I still prefer the original Z.
Outside of certain segments, I didn't really care for GT. I don't despise it, but I also can't say I enjoy it. I liked some of the fights, the concept of Super Saiyan 4, and the interesting soundtrack from Tokunaga, but not a ton else. I will also say that Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku is one of my favorite openings in Dragon Ball.
It's far too soon to say anything about Super, since we're still in the early stages, but I hated the Resurrection 'F' arc. I liked the Battle of Gods arc okay (especially the fight between SSJ God Goku and Beerus), but I preferred the movie. Can't comment on the Universe 6 stuff yet, it's just too soon. Even then, it'll be very difficult for Super to surpass its predecessors in my eyes outside of GT. I like some of what I see, but not everything. We'll see.

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
Obviously DB & Z. They're both in a league of their own unrivalled by practically none of its succesors. The heart & soul of its creator/makers are evident in these series.
I consider GT to work in bits & parts. Has its share of ups & downs (90%), but largely a forgettable series.
Kai & Super are in a league of their own. Long story short, mere cash cows. Which isnt something I'd associate to "favourite" list as the heart & soul is stripped. Instead, replaced with merchandise & sales
Overall:
1. DB & Z
2. GT
10,000th place: Kai, Super, bla bla bla

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
First of all, I acknowledge that as far as storytelling goes DB is the best.
That said Z is the first series I was introduced to, and thus I have the most nostalgia for it, plus the great moments of execution stay with you.
As of now I do prefer Kai to Z, because I love how it was remastered, and knowing I can watch an accurate, well-acted English dub and get through the series in a relatively short space of time.
I have Super ahead of DB because I've loved Beerus and Champa ever since their introduction, and I do feel its existence is somewhat of a miracle after wanting a new series for so long. The opening and closing themes are also my favourite in the series at this point.
GT is the lowest because its really disappointing when your watching great concepts that are poorly executed (DBZ is the opposite, and that's why its a more entertaining series even if it has the same problems with plotholes, etc.). I do love Dan Dan Kokoro, and the final episode.
Overall my order of preference is:
1. DB Kai
2. DBZ
3. DBS
4. DB
5. DBGT

OG DB! Then Z/Kai then GT. I haven't seen enough of Super to judge it.

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
Overall I think the order would go
DB
DBGT
Z
I haven't seen enough of Kai to really care for it and either way it is just Z with the majority of the filler cut out, so I really see no reason to judge it as a separate entity.
Super I haven't seen at all sense I am waiting for a more legal means to watch it (Either simulcast/streaming or a Dub.) But going just off what I see and hear, I'd have to rank it at the bottom, starting the first series in years with retellings of movies we just saw really doesn't sit well with me.

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
1. DBZ Kai
2. DB (though only the second half starting from Tien)
3. DBGT
4. Original DBZ (the only reason why I put GT above the original Z cuz I think the Funi dub there is better)
Can't comment on Super since I haven't watched it, and honestly, I don't plan to anytime soon unless I hear something big.

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Re: What is your favorite DB series ?
1. Dragon Ball
2. Dragon Ball Z (Very close second)
3. Dragon Ball Super (So Far)
4. Dragon Ball Kai (English, I don't care for the Japanese version of Kai)
5. Dragon Ball GT
Also I think the word "series" in the title of this thread should be renamed to "anime" because there is only one Dragon Ball series.

I still don't see what's bad about it. Much less how it's worse then the dub of Z. (This is of course if we not counting personal reasons)fadeddreams5 wrote:1. DBZ Kai (ENG w/ Yamamoto)
