I'm sure a lot of it is due to nostalgia, it being the first anime I really got into and all, but I still really enjoy Dragon Ball. It's got great humor, great action, great characters - but it also has a TON of weaknesses, and as weird as this is to say, I think a lot of my fun in the series nowadays comes from poking around those areas. I really enjoy talking about the areas that are weak in the series, how they could have been made better, or what may or may not be there in a character that doesn't really come to light since DB's not that kind of series. That kinda stuff.

I also feel like I owe Dragon Ball quite a bit really. Since it was the first, it led to all the other anime I got into, which led to all the friends I have nowadays - not to mention my girlfriend. Never would have become friends with her at all if we hadn't met on the school bus ages ago, talking about DBZ, so to think of that not having happened...it's a scary thought.
