Manga: I've read the original Dragon Ball in it's entirety (I did it before with books from the library whenever I could get them, and when I got the box set I read it all in one sitting), all of the Saiyan saga and Boo saga, and most of the Namek and Android sagas. I plan to read the whole DB - Z in one sitting once I get my hands on the 9 DBZ VizBigs :wink:

Anime: I've seen every episode of Z and GT, watched movies 1-13 and the GT special, as well as a few episodes of DB. No plans to full watch the DB anime when I have the full manga series on hand, but I might give the movies a try.
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 all episodes from the very beginning of Dragonball up to when Buu arrives at God's palace, as well as the first 6 episodes of GT, and the entirety of Kai. Additionally, while I've seen all the movies, I have yet to watch the GT TV Special or either version of Plan to Destroy the Saiyans.
Other than that, I believe I've seen everything. Not bad for someone living in a country where all we got of the anime was a couple extremely limited movie releases.

I haven't seen DragonBall 100%. I've seen DragonBall from the start up to the end of the Red Ribbon Army Saga. Afterwards I skipped around and I recall watching most of the Piccolo Saga but after that I just didn't care.

I've seen DBZ 100% but GT............nope and don't want to.

I guess that the only thing that I (and possibly almost averyone here) haven't seen from the anime is the Year-End Special. :P But I've seen everything else.

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

So what have we learned here? I guess there's just a lot of DB out there, and even some big fans haven't seen it all!

Personally, I'm surprised how many people haven't made it all the way thru GT. It's shorter, and more on the Z-action side of things, so I assumed more people would have seen it all, but I guess it's just that bad :P

By the way, I have a friend who's not particularly a Dragon Ball fan, but he has seen every anime episode of DB/Z/GT! I think he and his college roommate got into a routine of downloading and watching it all. And me, the big Toriyama-head, still hasn't made it to the end of GT!

Watched the whole DB Zed series on Dragon Box, without losing interest, GT was on TV, so I've seen it too, but dubbed.

I've not yet seen the complete Dragon Ball original series, most of it, not all.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

I don't think I've seen each and every episode, but I read all of the Dragonball manga.

Why are you calling "Z" as "Zed"? Even if you spell it as zed, it's still written as "Z".

I'm in the middle of watching GT dubbed. After I finish, I plan on watching through the entire series subbed.

Still haven't seen episode 98 of Kai, either.

I've read through the entire manga in English.

I have read the entire manga several times, since I own all of the vloumes, but I haven't seen all of the episodes, since I own none of them. I have seen all of the DBZ movies though.

I haven't seen the funi dub of the two cooler movies but I'm waiting for the steelbook to arrive in the post in the next few weeks, then I'm going to watch them back to back :)
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

Come to think of it, I've never actually watched the wedding dress filler arc.

I've watched all of the television episodes, but not all of the movies. I think I've only seen clips of the Lord Slug and Cooler movies. And I'm not sure about the Broly movies. If I have seen them all they just blur together into one movie in my memory.

Lucky you! I suffered through the whole arc and it was not pleasant. Though there was one scene that made me laugh. Pilaf making Mai fall off the mountain.

Yeah, I thought I would like it. But I just found it boring. And believe me, I love some of the more odd filler; Vegeta and Nappa's adventure on the bug planet!

I have seen maybe 85%. I haven't seen Piccolo Jr. vs Goku, the third Broly movie, the "Yo! Goku and His Friends" movie, or the GT movie.
