- Dragon Ball/Z is far, far from my favorite anime. Why do I spend so much time talking about it, then? Because it's still enjoyable as hell. That, and there isn't much of a Legend of the Galactic Heroes fan community in North America.

- I think "Cha La Head Cha La" and "Zenkai Power" are two of the best OPs and EDs from anime. I never skip them. I think they embody DBZ's spirit.

- At one point years ago, I could sing most of "Blue Velvet" from GT from memory. I still love that song and the animation that goes with it.

- I think Monica Rial's Bulma is on par with Hiromi Tsuru's.

- I still love the Ocean dub of the first three DBZ movies, even if I generally couldn't care less about movies 2 or 3 in of themselves. I guess that's two confessions.

- Still think MasakoX is the best English dub Goku. Peter Kelamis is number 2.

- However, I think Sean Schemmel's current Goku in Kai is decent.

- Still no Nozawa, though.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I like all 3 Broly movies, Bio-Broly being my favourite of the 3.

These are just a few of my opinions. I don't mean to upset anyone, or cause any trouble etc.

- I like all of the filler. I really enjoy it, and I think it shows more of the character's personalities, and who they are.
- I enjoy Bruce Falcouner's music, just as much as the original Japanese music. Although, I do have favourites, and regard some pieces of music better than others.
- I prefer the Anime to the Manga, although I really enjoy the manga.
- I personally think Sean Schemmel has the best voice for Goku.
- I enjoy GT, and despite all of it's flaws, I still enjoy it. As someone said on this forum (I honestly can't remember who :lol: ), I ''enjoy the ride''.

I prefer the Dub over the sub.
I like the Buu Saga/Arc.
I liked Gohan vs Cell

I guess that's it :shock:

-I have been into Dragonball for much longer than any of my other fandoms (since 2000)

- Dragonball is my first and only fandom that I have doujinshi of (I have 6 doujinshi, 5 dedicated to Yamcha, another one with Piccolo, Bura and Pan looking for the dragonballs)

- It is also the anime fandom of mine that I have the most video games of

- I prefer the japanese voices to the dubbed voices

- I am one of the few fans of Yamcha and draw him a lot in my DB fanart

- I love the original Dragonball series and DBZ the most of the series

- I have three figurines of Bulma (both figures from the Pichi Pichi Girl range and the one with her dressed up as Luffy)

- I have also made Goku, Gohan (Buu Saga),Vegeta, Bulma, Kuririn, Mr. Buu, Yamcha, Mr. Satan, Videl, Launch, Kamesennin, Chichi, Trunks (end of Z), Future Trunks, Goten (End of Z), Piccolo, Yajirobe, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Upa and Suno on my WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2011 game.

- I have also made a whole heap of DB characters (including the above characters) in Soul Calibur IV

1) In hindsight, I don't like GT.
2) I will enjoy any soundtrack made for the series, except Mark Menza's.
3) I think Viz's take on the manga is alright.
4) I still enjoy playing Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (with the Japanese voices turned on!)
5) I watch the CW's DBZKai sometimes because I only get the local channels in my room!
6) I think Chris Sabat's Vegeta was good by the middle of the Androids saga.
7) I think up scenarios of the gaps in the manga's story line, some of which are outrageous!
Okay, I know this isn't mine but I thought it was worth mentioning, but one of my friends is so much a Vegeta fan he will always reference Goku as "Kakarot"
"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.
Don't forget to slow down and enjoy yourself.

- I like GT as well. It's not great, but it still has enough of the good ol' Dragon Ball spirit that I can't just say it's complete crap. Yeah, it was a let down in the fight department for the most part, but it was enticing enough for me to actually finish it. That said, I do dislike the first 15 or so episodes and the Goku Jr. special.

- I dislike the Red Ribbon Army arc. Murasaki was somewhat funny and Tao Pai Pai was a great villain, but overall the arc bored me to sleep (in both the manga and anime.)

- I enjoy parts of the English dubs The Ocean and FUNimation voices were fine for the majority of the cast, I like some of the Shuki Levy/Bruce Faulconer score, but I doubt I'd ever watch them again on my own, especially with the advent of the better Kai dub and the Dragon Boxes.

- I listen to Dragon Ball-related music on a fairly regular basis (vocal songs, BGM, video game music. There's so much to choose from!)

- I have episodes of Kai on my iPod to watch while I'm at the gym.

- I think the "Orange" Season Sets for DBZ are a good release, but flawed. A purchaser could do a lot worse. (The UUE singles or the original FUNi 3-episode DVDs or bootlegs)

- I liked that Dragon Ball: Evolution used proper terms for attacks or names. Even though I don't like the movie.

- I think DBZ Movie 4 is pretty dad-gummed good.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

*GASP* How could yo- well, they both suck nevermind.
  • -Sometimes my friend and I start singing opening and closing themes from the anime at school.

    -That includes "Step into the Grand Tour", everytime the song is mentioned. We don't sing the actual lyrics, instead going for something like "STEP INTO THE GRAND TOUR DRAGON BALL GT! PUNCHES TO FACE! KICKS IN THE HEAD!" It's really stupid but fun. Of course, we do it quietly. Yelling quietly, I know that makes sense.

    -I like the Pilaf arc in the manga but I don't like the Pilaf filler in the anime.

This is a pretty interesting thread :D

BTW Happy new year to everyone God bless you Guys :D

Ok here goes nothing...

1: I think DBE is a decent live action and not bad at all. :lol:
2: I think Faulconer's Score for DBZ is the best changed american (synthetized) Soundtrack ever for an anime (leaving aside bad editing and no silence) but I hate the fact that the best tracks are unreleased.
2: I Love Kai's Score above all and IMO It punishes the hell out of Kikuchi and Faulconer by a whole long shot into all eternity and beyond *defends against stones*
3: I Think The Latino Dub voices are better than Japanese However Japanese is more profesional and is better Voice Acting.
4: I think The English Dub for Z Sucks hard, but The Dub for Kai is excelente ^^
5: I love Broly, I think he's a pretty interesting Character in the First movie, The other movies made him trash.
6: I think SSJ4 Is the Best Super Saiyan State and I think GT got really good at baby's saga. The ending nearly got me in tears :mrgreen:
7: I always Check DB Wiki =3
8: There's no Day I don't listen to Kai's OST and sometimes It's the very first thing I do even before brushing my teeths :3
9: I think The Buu Saga is amazing, And Mark's Friendship with Buu and the events that happend around it are very touching.
10: I can't decide My favorite Villian in Dbz, I think all of them are pretty good and have different Assets.
11: I don't like saying mr. satan ... I'm Christian :D
12: I watch Dragonball with my dad xD
13: I would Cry if Kai ends before Buu saga.
14: I hate it when they Hate Kai
15: I SOMETIMES THINK FAULCONER DOES BETTER THAN KIKUCHI WHILE I THINK YAMAMOTO DOES BETTER THAN THEM BOTH MOST OF THE TIME :shock:
16: I always Workout (when I do XD) listening To Anime Music, And my Favorite Music for Working out was SSJ3 Ascension theme by Bruce Faulconer
17: Now I use the techno Tracks of Kai along with it too >:3
18: I used to practice KAMEHAMEHA While taking a shower XD
That's all for now XD

I love the Season Sets. Because of them, I own the entire series and each part matches the rest. I honestly never realized their flaws until I saw threads here pointing them all out.

I love the dub, especially Dragon Ball Z Kai. I especially like Sean Schemmel as Goku.

I prefer Dragon Ball Z Kai over Dragon Ball Z, but view it as a stand alone series.

I like Dragon Ball Evolution. I never had a problem with it. I saw it as a Dragon Ball movie, not a Dragon Ball Z movie. The 4 DB movies always went off on their own tangents and didn't care about the original plot.

- I hate the kai background music.
- I hated all of that muscle tower nonsense during the red ribbon arc.
- Really enjoyed Tien & Jackie Chun's fight, also Goku fighting General Blue.
- My Dragonball season 3 box is a different shade of blue than the others..for some reason..
- "Kamehasutra" is awesome ; ] NSFW
- Everything about Frieza and Namek is a bore!
- My favorite movies are The Tree of Might, Bojack Unbound & Super Android 13. (w/ funi dub/jap music)
- My Least favorites are Wrath of The Dragon & Worlds Strongest. (Great to fall asleep to..)
- I liked the father bear in A Hero's Legacy way more than Goku Jr.

I love Pandora's work, I really do, but the Kamehasutra is overrated. Everything by Rehabilitation, the circle that created Dragonball H, is pure gold.

Speaking of "Kamehasutra" there are a couple of videos that was made by someone named Desto who based it off Pandora's comic. The videos had bad animation and it was kinda funny in a way.

Anyway my confessions are...

-FUNimation remastered season sets > Dragon Box
-Prefer Hercule instead of Mr. Satan
-Watches the Fusion Saga more than any other sagas
-FUNimation dub > Original
-Love Linda Young's Frieza
-I like Nathan Johnson's music more than any other.
