The anime was great. Whats not to like about nikkas flying around, throwing Kamehamehas and Ki blast at each other, with great detailed animation, great (well until the buu saga) story telling about a boy with a tail and his adventures to become a great warrior? Then you got the dragon balls themselves granting cats immortality, panties, and any other thing you wanted.

The same kids who gravitated towards violent video games, wrestling, action movies, gangsta rap etc, gravitated towards DBZ. Basically boys who grew up in front of a TV with vivid imaginations. Lots of them being black kids, but tons of other races as well. Its a generational thing. Maybe it was an older brother or cousin, or kid you looked up to that put you onto this shyt and you were hooked. Or maybe it came on one day after some other show you were watching and it blew your mind and you had to tell your friends...

Sometimes I wonder how pre-teens will be shaped by the insane access to media they have these days...

Nah theres adult anime like ghost in the shell series is dope. Dbz is lame story lines that come up with new things every episode the nikka vegeta does something new or something random like his race turnjng into giant monkeys and smashing planets foh

Dragonball Z is amazing in all possible ways

the music and atmosphere used in the build up for Android and Cell saga :ohhh:
the feeling of inevitable destruction of the planet, everyone living in fear, not one ray of hope
then when shyt turns around in a flash and the good triumph, like Gohan when he fukked up Cell :blessed:

You can apply alot of the messages in that cartoon to real life :ufdup:

Yeah, what's so grown about TMNT and Howard the Duck now?

There's a reason DBZ's got a bigger fan base than either of them breh.
nikka i dont rock with either of them, all I said is I grew up and thats what was piff along with fraggle rock and that hbo einstein claymation show shyt was bugged. As a grown man I haven't watched any of that in over two decades. I give a fukk about a cartoon if its not american dad or boondocks. Fall back with ya fighting cartoon.
