-I think Vegeta's self destruction is the only time I ever teared up over a fictional event, what makes it worst is I was like 15 at the time and was very well aware of how meaningless death is in DB. (actually I even already knew how and when he was coming back)
-Like a lot of people here I like Broly (I guess he isn't as hated as we thought).
-I think the Funi version, Ocean version, and original all have their strong points but I like the Funi version the best.
-Big reason I like the Funi version the best is because I usually like their music the most.
-Vegeta>Goku (bet you wouldn't of guessed that :wink: )but honestly I usually like the bad guy or anti-hero better than the main character.
-I spent a absurd amount of time building up a lvl 187 Vegetto in DB Final Bout even though I think its the worst DB fighter on the PS1.
-I hate most of DBGT but its been so long since I've seen it I can't even tell you why anymore (besides there being to much Pan and Goku), I've actually been meaning to give it another try but just haven't got around to it.
-I really don't like the fusion dance and Guru's and Elder Kai's power unlocking, it just seems to easy.
-Few years back when I was on the funi boards and really bored I took a turn at running the Budokai Tenkaichi 2 game tournament. All you did was pick a character (unmodified) and then I had the characters fight each other in a cpu vs cpu fight a couple times. Whoever won 2 out of 3 would advance in the tournament. Like I said I was really bored so for the results posts I recorded the fights and wrote out a detailed play by play complete with stupid lines and acts of surprise like I was a actual announcer. So probably one of the nerdyist thing I've ever done.
-I don't mind the Great Saiyaman but thats probably because he didn't get much screen time.
-I don't like Kaio-Ken, or at least I don't like how it goes past x2 and they don't give a in universe explaination of why Goku doesn't use it with SS (except for that one time in filler).

Here's a few more:

I really dislike Mr Satan, particularly during the Cell era. I don't get a kick out of him, I just find him to be an annoying jackass most of the time.

I accept and enjoy most filler. Except for the Freeza arc when it was all pretty much insufferable, but to be fair the story didn't allow much room for side stories at the time.

I'm not a big fan of most of the movies, but I love movie 9.

I actually loved the board game style story mode in Budokai 2 although most people seemed to hate it. And to be honest, I actually loved the game as well. Sadly it seems to have been forgotten by most fans. Anyone else share any love for Budokai 2?

I got the game recently and it's still fun.

anyways

-Recoome's english voice is the biggest mistake Funimation ever did. His voice is just a notch worse then Freeza's old Funi voice.

-I reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaallllly hate Pilaf :evil:. He really just needs to stop bugging the crap out of everyone with his imbecile beliefs, and he really needs to stop tricking himself. He is just trying to bug me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnAbjgyI8PQ

-Chi Chi needs to be more like her teenage self and stop being a bitch. I liked her a lot more when at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

- I miss when interesting techniques were made in Dragonball. I hate how in Z everything is *pew* *pew* *pew*.

-I dislike filler. I don't mind a little padding, but everything should stick to the manga. If i wanted to see Goku driving and Gohan and the Dinosaur,I would rather see it in a Non-Canon Special.

- I don't hate movies 4 and 11. I actually dislike movie 10.
- I misinterpreted Trunks killing Freeza as Trunks time traveling to Namek and helping Goku kill Freeza.
- I thought Gohan was Yamcha in the Final Bout intro.
- Dragonball Evolution's a guilty pleasure. I saw it 2 times in the theater.
- The Faulconer score is also another guilty pleasure.
- If VegettoEX has his multiple movie 1's, I've had my multiple "Bulma vs. the Crab" episodes...
- I actually finished Ultimate Battle 22. :o

I thought Cell was a robot after Goku kamehameha'ed him when I was kid.

Movie 11 is my favorite Broly movie.

Chi-Chi is just awful.. I feel really bad for Goku and actually cheered when he left with Uub.

Lunch is the hottest girl in dragonball..

- I just like Kai from Saiyan arc to Friеza's arc (with the original music)

- I played Raging Blast 2's entire Galaxy Mode pretty much just to complete the "Story Mode" since I bought it, it was only fair I'd complete it, and also for the achivements. The fighting in RB2 was really boring, though.

- FUNimation's Dragon Box Z are a great replica, but the quality of the packaging tends to be mediocre, as if they were using kids to do the work (glueing the paper to the boxes and so on). Not to forget the disc errors that were reported and light scratches done by them.

- I can't stand Colleen's vocal as Gohan, Luffi or kid Goku, but somehow, her kid Goku is somewhat acceptable.

- I love Kikuchi's music, whether it's Dragon Ball, Kiteretsu, Doraemon, Ninja Hattori, Sakigake Otokojuku, or etc. Just didn't enjoy Kikuchi's Z music in Kai because it wasn't handled appropriately.

- I'm not a fan of Dragon Ball any more but I still get to have fun listening to its music and games.

- Don't like nor support the fan live action of DBZ "Saiyan Saga".

- "Blooma" not only looks weird but also sounds weird.

- Not expecting anything awesome, amazing or superb about the DBZ 2013 film. Keeping my expectations low.

- I prefer the spelling of Furiza's name as Friеza than Freeza, but it gets censored here so I use the Russian letter E to fix that. Still a bummer I have to change to the Russian keyboard every time just for that one letter.

- Lastly, I don't really care what anyone says about Dragon Ball, I find the bashing rather funny now than annoying. :P

Same here. I can't even count the amount of hours I wasted on "Build-Up" mode levelling up my SS Gotenks.

I didn't mean it in that way. I was just suggesting that they do their research before making such a definitive statement that's factually incorrect. It was just a little nitpick, is all.

So, this isn't filler then? For some reason, I thought it was.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Here's more confessions:

-I absolute despise how Toriyama-sensei went against the idea of Gohan being the Earth's new savior even though I understand why he did.

-I like the anime version of the Majin Buu Saga more than the manga version. In the manga, it hardly did anything for me at all especially since the manga version of the rematch between Goku and Vegeta was lame as shit.

I like DBZ Movie 5 as my favorite DBZ movie when most people here seem to be 50/50 on it. Some like it while others didn't.

Yes, my bad, that scene was filler. I thought you were talking about the part when Gokuu first tells Chi-Chi that Gohan's going to be training with him and Piccolo for the Androids. When she disagrees, Gokuu says, "You don't think Gohan's education is more important than saving the world?", to which she retorts, "That's right? I don't care what happens, my son's going to get an education!"

And then Gokuu bitchslaps her through the house. :lol:

- I don't like adult Goku

-I love all Saiyan fillers

-I liked Kaioshin's plot and refuse to know how it was wasted

-Brolly needs more love and complete re-boot

-Both Castellano and Latino dub of DBZ are awesome

-Spain had the best of all Dan Dan Kokoro covers (Ven, Ven lejos de los malos sueños)

-I like Hand I'm Hand more than Sorae

-I like Polish movie 12 dub and I'd love to see whole DB dubbed.

I consider GT a what if type of show rather than being actual canon.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

Goku: Keepin' that pimp hand strong since 1984.

Personally I hate Gyumao's voice in the old dub a lot more than Cranz's 'rage-a-holic bitch' voice.

I unapologetically like the second half of the manga (DBZ) more than the first (DB), finding the stuff between the 21st and 22nd budokais to be particularly laborious.

I feel no urge to upgrade DB movie 1 from the Kidmark set, having the other 3 in the Funimation box set. I just didn't care for it at all.

- The original FUNimation Z dub is the single greatest officially licensed unintentional parody of all time.
- Even if everything else is disregarded, Gohan calling Buu a retard makes the Japanese version infinitely superior
