Any other non-anime fans who are into Dragon Ball?

And, in general, I find a lot of anime fans to be some of the most obnoxious people I know; on a level rivaled only by Doctor Who fans.

Can't say that's me.

I was already head over heels into the world of cartoons and anime (also cartoons!) well before I got into Dragon Ball.

Same here. My gateway to Japanese culture was Godzilla when my dad rented me Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956) on VHS then I end up seeing more Japanese movies and shows as a younger kid growing up. Reruns of Speed Racer and G-Force on CN , My Neighbor Totoro and Saturday Anime on Sci-Fi (now Syfy) was my gateway to anime in the mid 90's long before Pokemon, Digimon and DBZ. I can't imagine my life without anime and tokusatsu. I would probably be a major NFL fan instead . Nothing against football, but my whole family become brainwashed when the Ravens are on TV.

Back in 2013 the only anime related products I was into were Pokemon (games) and Dragon Ball and funny story I was searching "Full power Freeza" in Google and Google came up with Fullmetal alchemist before I could type in "Freeza" so I clicked read the imdb page and decided to try the series out, been a fan of anime ever since although recently I haven't watched much apart from Assassination Classroom (and re-watching DBZ of course getting ready for Super! ) the rest of summer anime season hasn't been that appealing.

"I find a lot of anime fans..."

Notice what I've formatted in bold there; does it say all? Or even most? It's simply a lot. A lot of them are. I can't believe anyone would deny that. You may be one of them, Polyphase Avatron, but I am willing to suspect that you're not. Though I will say, if I have a new enemy based on the misinterpretation of a comment that I've made I can't honestly say that I'll be losing any sleep tonight.

Maybe it's the Doctor Who comment that got to him.

[fadeddreams5]

So, do you just cringe when you see a Japanese cartoon, regardless of the substance it may contain?

[Polyphase Avatron]

Maybe it's the Doctor Who comment that got to him.

Brilliant deduction

[Super Sonic]

I have a feeling he might like Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. It's more in line with American cartoons, and I showed it to my cousins who are into DB, but not much anime figuring since they liked American Pie, they'd like it. They did, though were still going "Wow!" a lot at many moments.

[PhoenixEX]

That's pretty much me. Dragon Ball is really the only anime that I like.
Although, I was told to check out Death Note a couple of years ago and I truly enjoyed that one as well. Death Note is definitely one of those animes that has you on the edge of your seat and hyped for the next episode. It's not your typical bubblegum anime of these days. If you've never seen Death Note, I definitely recommend you check that one out.
I also do enjoy anime games (Persona, Danganronpa, Zero Escape, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, etc.). The anime adaptations of those games are also pretty good...except for the Pokemon anime--pure trash.

[Thanos]

Maybe it's the Doctor Who comment that got to him.

Saying some anime fans and some Doctor Who fans seemed redundant and unnecessary. Hopefully by not generalizing anime fans, it would be assumed that I wasn't doing the same with DW fans, but I guess people will pick everything apart for the sake of sensationalism these days.

[Videlphia76ers]

If someone asks if I'm a general anime fan I say "hell no". But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate series that happen to fall under the category of anime.

I'm merely a collector...
