- I also hate Pan in GT.
I forgot to add this.

- Dragon Ball related Hentai was my introduction to Hentai in general
:lol: yes, me too, accidentally. I bought an anime magazine but I didn't know it had a hentai section. " :shock: Bulma... and 18??... what!?"

I don't care for any of the DBZ movie villains expect for Coola and Janemba. Everyone else is either alright or forgettable. Dr. Wheelo seem like he could have been a cool villain but his movie sucked in my opinion.

I prefer Schemmel's Goku over Kelamis, Nozawa and Masakox, largely because I can take Schemmel's Goku seriously.

I don't like Nozawa's Goku, which is like Marmite for me (others may love it, but I don't).

Man, let's see...

1. I don't think the animation in the Goku vs. Freeza fight is that bad. Sure, a few of the episodes have the worst fight animation in the series, but those were filler. On the other hand, a few of the fight episodes look amazing. Episode 90 and "Pathos of Freeza" come to mind.

2. I used to be a hyper Broli fanboy. Later, however, I realized that Super Perfect Cell could probably destroy him.

3. I think that all of the songs that Kenji Yamamoto ripped off were inferior compared to Yamamoto's version of them. Battle Point Unlimited is a good example.

- I like Broly
- Movie 11 is actually my favourite
- While I like Masako Nozawa I dislike it immensely that she voices (older) Gohan and Tullece.

- I find the animation style in the movies and I FIND THEM TO BE BETTER THAN THE art style Toriyama uses in his manga.

-I've always liked the Great Saiyaman.

-I don't think Gotenks is as annoying as everyone says.

-I like most filler (except the Garlic Jr. saga) and consider most of it in my personal canon.

Yes, it was indeed filler.



Anyways, here's another confession of mine:

- Comments about the original Dragon Ball being the 'flawless golden show' while the sequels are 'kid crap' (it's not precisely what is said but it's not far from the truth) deeply piss me off greatly. At first I thought they were agreeable but now that almost any video on YouTube that's related to the original Dragon Ball has at least 5 or 6 of them (even some DBZ vidoes), it leaves me tempted to beat up anyone who leaves a comment like that again. I mean, what are they trying to show to prove? Is it to prove to their elitist peers that their lame opinions matter?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Hmm...

- I am not that fond of Cha-La-Head-Cha-La. I think We Gotta Power and Makafushigi Adventure were better.

- Despite that she's annoying me big time, I don't think Chichi deserves all that flack.

- I seriously like the idea of DBZ crossovered with Galaxy Express 999.

- Plus DBZ with Yu Yu Hakusho OST. (something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_8R61pprko)

- I don't like spelling "Blooma". It looks awkward.

- I am fine with The Great Saiyaman. I kinda wish he would've gotten more screentime.

- I liked that the more-serious-and-action-oriented Boo saga also took time for non-serious things and moments. (mostly being the Great Saiyaman, and episode 238)

- I like DBGT's art style for some reasons.

- I wish the screentime wasn't spent so much on the Saiyans. I know that this has been said for like a million times already, but I wish they've placed more attention on the humans, particularly Yamucha. Maybe that's why fanfiction exists. :lol:

- I am not fond of romance in this series. Well, I was never fond of fictional romance anyway... :lol:

I really like the dialogue for the Funimation dub of the Freeza saga. And it's one of the things that got me hooked on DBZ. Yes I know it's incredibly cheap and corny but back when I first watched DBZ I had never seen anything like it, The only thing I had ever watched were movies and shows were blowing up a building or killing the main characters friend or family member was the worst the villain ever really did. Then all of a sudden I'm watching a show where the villain is blowing up planets, killing people, and beating the s..t out of the main characters while cracking sadistic jokes. Things like "ride em cowboy" made those scenes way more creepy and memorable. And when I was watching DBZ I was going through a slightly tough time in my life thanks to my brother being a jerk, so seeing Goku's "super hero" dialogue was almost like listening to a really inspirational song or something. And even now the dialogue is still fun to listen to.

-I prefer FUNi's dub to the original, but I don't really like either version of the anime anyway.
-I prefer the Saiyans to the humans and am rather sick of hearing how underutilized the humans are.
-I find the pre-Saiyan Arc section of Dragon Ball to be vastly overrated by fans.
-I liked Ultimate Tenkaichi and would rather see a sequel of that than Raging Blast 3.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Me too. In 2003, I was looking up Dragon Ball AF images and I wanted to see what other random Dragon Ball fan made series exist. I type in Dragon Ball X for fun and I found images of Chi Chi, Pan and Bluma. I was 12, so I was pretty surprise at the time.

-I hate Sean Schemmel as Goku
-I'm a fan of the Ocean Dub

I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Most fans hated Pan in GT. I remember fans hating her before GT came out in the US back in 2001. So you are not alone, I personally didn't like Pan at all neither. I found Para Brothers to be much worst though in my opinion.

I personally hated all of the comic relief characters in GT since they where trying too hard to be funny. I rather be trap in a room with Jar Jar Binks then watch any scene with the Para Brothers to be honest.

Personally I don't really mind the Para Brothers all that much, I found Dolltacki to be worse than the Para Brothers.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).
