Too late to be a fan?

If you are getting into it now, you have it pretty good if you think about it. First off avoid the internet and fanboys of the show at all costs. Then, watch the show from DragonBall to GT so the events are somewhat of a surprise.

Or if you're a purist, read the manga from A to Z.

There's a huge difference between being a fan of the show when you're younger and still being a fan when you're older...

He's right. I might have read this the wrong way, but anyways I'll go with what I thourght. When I first started watching the show way back years ago. I used to watch the dub that is what got me into Dragonball. I saw a few of the movies in Japanese but I thourght this sucks, I don't even understand it. So anyways I stuck with the dub but then got to an age when I didn't appreciate it as much. When I got a little older although I still liked the show and watched episodes it didn't have the same appeal as what it did when I first started watching the show. So anyways I don't know what I was up too but I decided to watch a few of the movies in Japanese and loved it, way better then the dub and it got me back into Dragonball the way I used to feel when first watching the dub. It felt more mature then the dub and it felt right watching it being older.

I don't know if that went a little off, but that was my opinion/experience of how Dragonball kept its affect as I got older.

If you're asking from a general point of view it's never to late to be a fan, I know people who have only joined the fandom this year and in some cases know more about it then me! Personally though, I really think that the height of fandom was around the nineties, but since I was a wee lad then I was completely obsessed with it. But hey, I still am!
