Well, I don't belong to any LoGH or Gundam boards, but I like those better than DB.

DB just naturally lends itself to casual conversations/arguments/shitstorms. Probably because there are more than six people talking about it, unlike LoGH.

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.

Actually, I used to think it was "American Naruto", so I guess I can't criticize initial reactions. :lol:
Interestingly enough, one of the very minor characters from Avatar's first season's va is now va of one of the major characters on Naruto.

That "stick" ain't even unique to Goku (it's pulled straight from Journey to the West), and Kuririn definitely wasn't the first bald monk.
