The good and bad things of Dragon Ball Z discussion thread

#1 Posted by Nighthunter (28542 posts) - 5 years, 1 month ago - Show Bio

Ok Dragon Ball Z is the most popular anime ever created, no one can deny that. I loved the show when I was a kid, but now that I see the episodes again I realize that the show wasn't as good as I thought it was.

Post here what you like and what you don't like about Dragon Ball Z and keep it positive

This will be a debate so no insults or attacks are need and that includes "Dragon Ball sucks" as well as "Goku is the greatest guy ever created, end of story" except of course if you can give reasons behind that statement

I repeat, keep it positive

ok the first thing I want to say that I dislike about Dragon Ball Z is that their characters have unlimited power.

People complain that guys like Superman are overpowered, while this is true at least he has a limit while Dragon Ball characters just do a few days months or one year of training and keep increasing their power levels.

There will come a time when they'll explode Earth with just showing their Ki lol

yeah that's probably the main reason I dislike it

Second point, story is basically always the same

Steps:

  1. Powerfull enemies and/or androids suddenly appear on Earth

  2. Poor earthlings die and/or Earth is destroyed

  3. Z-fighters fight back and a major character dies/is gravely injured

  4. The heroes fight on and transform to the next level of Super Saiyan

  5. Good guys win, but only after many episodes, long periods of charging up, much explanation, and hours of floating battles

  6. Bad guy(s) die

  7. The dead good guys are brought back to life via the power of the dragon balls

  8. Brief period of happiness/celebration

  9. Return to Step 1

I seriously have no problem with the bad guys dying, I believe Batman should have slaughtered Joker many years ago. And you're missing the point that stronger and stronger people can appear. You can see it in competitions, this year's people are stronger than last year's people.

I think when your younger its a really cool show to watch because you dont care about its imperfections i mean who wouldnt want to shoot out a beam of energy that can destroy the planet or move at speeds that make you go WTF when your younger but as i grew older i noticed the things that are bad with it overly powerful characters way to much talking in battle and not a solid storyline. It had great fight sequences when they werent talking and some great moments for example Goku going super saiyan to this very day gives me goosebumps. The characters are way to powerful i admit but it kind of sends a message out that we should all work harder to achieve our goals. Finally i believe Dragonball should get respect on this site the show that kick started it all and to this day is one of the best animes ever created.

Things I liked:

from a story stand point, Goku's arrival to Namek through the Buu Saga.

I guess that's really the only positive I can say... things I dislike... too much to list.. DBZ used to be one of my favorite shows, and I even was about to buy a few of the complete sagas on DVD... but after being on CV and seeing those hardcore DBZ fans.. I'm done with it.

I wouldn't say best anime, but one of the most popular. Anyway, i used to like it as a kid. Imagine being able to do all that. But i have to say it irritates me a lot to see those characters get stronger so fast, and never having a limit to their power.

I agree the characters became way to powerful they should have dealt with problems otherways but come on Dragonball Z is a million times better than GT now that show sucked but like i said Dragonball should get some respect and not just the whole franchise but each show inparticular for the good things they brought.
