I'm happy to say that for the most part, I've seen just about everything at least twice through - though this has been over many, many years, obviously.

There's still a few things I haven't seen though. Um...I haven't seen anything past episode...77, I think (whatever was the last episode on Part 6) of Kai in an uncut form yet, I've only seen everything past that point via the Nicktoons airing. I haven't seen the 'final' episode 98 in any form yet either (though it's sitting on my DVR). I've not seen any episode of Kai in it's original Japanese form yet either, outside of the very first episode back when it first came out, which I saw in raw format.

Beyond that...I haven't seen that first Chinese live action movie, 'The Magic Begins' or whatever; or that Korean film (has anyone seen that though, or is that just something that we know exists and only really have screenshots of it?). I haven't seen either the 'Summer Vacation' or 'Year-End' specials listed here. Or that um...whatever that stage show thing was with Broly, I forget the exact details on that thing or if it even exists in a filmed version or not.

Other than that, I can't think of anything other than maybe some game animation, like the newly-animated stuff from Ultimate Tenkaichi.

Battle of Gods & the DB x OP x Toriko crossover. Image

OK, seriously now. The DBZ Year-End TV Special, all but two Live-Action Shows, the new stuff from the guidebooks that Herms or someone else hasn't covered yet (if ever), like the GT Perfect Files Vol. #2, whatever isn't scanlated yet of Dragon Ball SD, and the Dr. Slump & Arale-chan TV Specials, if they count. I believe that I've seen everything else.

Somehow I managed to not think about the manga at all for this. Most of the manga I still haven't read, sadly. I've only read what scattered volumes of the series I own, and a bit from the US Shonen Jump run, but that's about it. Dragon Ball SD, I'm severely far behind on because I just can't bring myself to care as much as I'd like to, so I've really only read it's original one-shot type chapters, and the first...two actual chapters, I think.

I forgot about those too, if we're talking about the same things - the stuff from the second Dr. Slump series where Goku shows up and turns Oozaru, and we also see Ninja Murasaki again I think - I'd love to see those eventually.

I'm talking about the TV Specials of the first series. They aren't related to Dragon Ball, but I felt like mentioning them because Dr. Slump & Dragon Ball are like "brothers".
Those you are talking about though, I've seen them. 8)

In preparation for the new Dream 9 specials and "Battle of Gods," I've been trying to go back and watch every piece of official DragonBall animation ever. So over the past few months, I've been checking things like "Episode of Burdock," the Telebikko special, the DB-related Dr. Slump remake clips/episodes, the "Japan Hero Awards" special, the "Mirror Mistake Seven" game, and the two public service shorts off my "to-do" list, while also finally watching the original "Plan To Eradicate The Saiyans" after putting it off for years. I've no interest in any live-action stuff (except for that "Super Battle Stage" show that used the original voice actors, which I've already seen), so aside from the numerous Japanese commercials featuring new animation (which are near-impossible to keep track of), I've pretty much seen everything.

EXCEPT... the original Dragon Ball show. Yeah, I know that's a biggie. I'm still holding out for FUNiBoxes. And I'm currently re-watching GT in Japanese because I only watched the dub-with-Japanese-music track during my first viewing. I'll be able to finally finish Kai when FUNi's fourth set comes out next week.

But once I finish those, I'll have seen every DragonBall episode/movie/special/bonus in Japanese.

As for the manga, I've got the whole series and I've read/seen the Super KochiKame short and most of Toriyama's little bonus sketches (like the ones he did for the big earthquake a few years ago and stuff like that), so I think I've seen everything he's drawn for DB except for Neko Majin.

I still have yet to read the majority of the manga, watch bits and pieces of the Piccolo Daimao and 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai arcs, and watch all but one episode of the Evil Dragon arc in GT.

I still have yet to see the last half of Kai as well, but I doubt I'll get around to watching that.

I have only see a couple of random GT episodes. I have not watched the series as a whole. I have only seen the first three DBZ movies plus the first Broly and Cooler movies. I have only seen brief snippets of Kai.

I watched everything except like episodes 25-97 of Kai. And I don't plan on ever watching it. I like the original DBZ, the way it is.

Not including the rare specials, I think I've seen just about everything except for the 4 DB movies (Curse of the Blood Rubies, Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle, Mystical Adventure, Path to Power, waiting on the DBoxes for the movies to come if they ever do) and most of Kai (I've only seen the first "season" uncut (eps. 1-26) and have been following the Cell arc edited as it airs on Vortexx). Haven't read most of the manga either other than a few of chapters of the Raditz fight (back when Viz used to print a couple each as individual issues, will hopefully get the VizBigs shortly).

I've only seen a few dvds of Dragon Ball, I've seen the entire 23rd Budokai and following filler and the filler leading into the 22nd Budokai and part of the tournament itself.

I also haven't read all of the Freeza and Android/Cell arcs in the manga.

Aaaand I haven't seen any of the 4 Dragon Ball movies.
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!

I`ve seen about 8/10 of the DBZ Anime, none of the DB Anime and 1/4 of the DBGT Anime. I`ve seen DB Movie 1, DBZ Movie 3, 4, 8 and 13. I`ve read the entire DB (and DBZ) manga, Episode Of Bardock, Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, The live-on-stage Broly thing, the budokai thing with real people animated and some other random stuff. I`ve also seen 1/4 of Kai.

I haven't seen the first three Dragonball movies. Other than that, probably tons of stuff that was never released in America.

Plot to Eradicate the Saiyans or Plot to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, outside of clips.

Because it seems incredibly stupid, outside the superficial element of the Tsufuru revenge.

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've never read the Manga, only a few panels here and there.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
