Any Australians here?

I've seen a few people here that are from Oz here but want to know if there is any more local DB/Z fans.
I'm from Melbourne

New Zealand here, just across the ocean.

There are 20 members located in Australia on this page: http://db.schuby.org/daizex/memberlist. ... start=1550

I'd suggest looking through that members list to find any others.

Although I wasn't born there, I live in Australia.

We're a nation built on convicts, everyone's families (save the indigenous population) emigrated here at some point, so you're a dinky di true blue Aussie my friend.

And I really don't see this topic lasting awfully long, unless we can inject some Dragonball into the conversation.

...

Madman is having a big October sale, which means there are some pretty hefty discounts (up to 40%) on some of the older Dragonball DVD's (the three movie packs, GT, a small discount on the DB sets)

Well, I wasn't born in Australia but I sure was closer than everyone else, New Zealand.

Wow! I thought I was the only member from New Zealand on here. lol

I know, I'm just saying I wasn't born here. Not much history of our family has ever been based here, possibly not at all but that's exaggerating a bit(since, as you said, everyone's family has immigrated here at some point), I only arrived here like seven years ago. I'm not an official citizen either, lol. >_>

I'm Australian. Good to know there are still other Aussie DB fans =)
Sadly, it's not the best place to live if you like Japanese series of any kind...
Oh well, Dragonball rules! =P

I know what you mean, I only know one person apart from me who also lives in New Zealand and knows the true origin of the japanese version of Dragonball, everyone I know who talks about the show just think it's a kids show. That's because they've never seen the uncut/japanese version.

Yeah, mostly the teenagers of today think like that, basically you have to hate everything animated or actually any decent things, follow fads and actually be dumb enough to support terrible films such as the "*insert title* movie" films(like Epic Movie or the recent one, Disaster movie). To me, the general teen community are basically just opposite versions of Japanophiles but are just as worst.

So true, I know how you feel.

Of course, not all teens are bad though, just the overall amount of teenagers poisoned by fads, there are many who don't annoy and jerk around with anime lovers, and of course, there are A LOT of teenage anime fans. And adult fans of course.

Anyways to not get side-tracked, let's discuss about the one anime important here and that's DBZ!

For me, I've been a major fan of the series for a long time, although I'm not a dub hater nor a fan of the dub either, I'm basically so-so with both versions. I mostly enjoy reading the manga overall. Also I like to draw Dragonball fan art and even make DB comics, I have one fan manga I'm planning to do but I'm still busy working on some stuff for it before I truly begin the project though.

Sounds hot.

Most of the people on here I'm friendly with on here are Australians, it's either by coincidence or that friendly stereotype.

I'm from Adelaide. One of the best things about it is that postage from JP to AU is cheaper than postage from JP to US

I'm currently ordering the single DVDs from CD Japan & joined Celga after listening to the podcast that mentioned importing from Japan (I forget which one it was).

Minigt · Post by **Minigt** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 3:58 am

I use Celga and Rinkya all the time. Postage $ still sting but its great to get some of the latest or some really old school DBZ stuff.

We should start an Australian / NZ DBZ club or something! Maybe, I just did
