DBZ will never die its like pokemon its been a part of most peoples lives for to long. To me its like Scooby-Doo or Tom and Jerry i might not watch them all the time but they will forever be some of my fav show of all time. But ya anime on tv is at a decline i belive there are few of them on then back in the day.

Nah, the fanbase for DB is still strong worldwide. They have some of the most loyal fans out of any anime, and the American distributors try their best to put out stuff licensed in Japan for the fans like the recent Dragon Box.
 
I wouldn't say anime is at an all-time low, it's actually progressing very well. Even if it wasn't, who gives a crap about the US in regard to anime?

I think they did dub it. Yes, they are getting too part 8. It was promised to be released at the end of 2010. It didn't, people were angry. Although, a new trailer says it's coming out this Spring. Apparently the company that was working on went bankrupt or sold out, so another company is picking it up from there. I can't wait to see it, Alucard is going to release restrictions to 0. lol

Geneon is the company you are thinking of, and yes, they went bankrupt. Funimation I believe picked up the rights, and I have seen hide nor hair of the 5th OVA dubbed anywhere over here in the states. I dont know why they are taking so long with the dub, I really want to see the rest of the series even though I already read the manga.

Black Lagoon is a fun type of action series but it's nowhere near a masterpiece imo.

@Sexy Merc: Oh, I agree. You can't compare it to NGE or Bebop or one of the true greats, but it is extraordanarily enjoyable.

Well, it's Funimation..so they may have other projects they're working on and putting Hellsing on the back burner..well the dub anyways. Just be glad it didn't go to 4kids, the place where anime goes to die. Although, I don't think they could handle something like Hellsing. They would have to edit so much stuff. lol

Actually, yes, yes it does.  
 
This is the off topic, it only mentions a decline in popularity characters(not battles featuring said characters), and makes no mention of Marvel or DC.  
This has nothing to do with Battles Forums as far as I can tell.

Mentioning the battles forum can also be injected to this thread. DBZ's involvement in battles forum/ versus forums would also determine DBZ's popularity in general.

Oh.  Yeah, I stole it from Merc's images.

That is clearly not the case.

What i'm trying to say is that it's also one thing that should be taken into consideration when we talk about DBZ's popularity.

DBZ's fanbase isn't dead.I don't personally know anyone who still likes DBZ but there are still people out there.It's because most of the people I watched DBZ with growing up have grown up and become aware that DBZ's storylines are mediocre and redundant and the art style is a joke.

What i'm sayin is that it's the people that makes DBZ popular. People won't talk about DBZ if they don't know (even just a little ) about DBZ. And.... Ok. let's not continue discussing.",)

I never liked DBZ, and I just don't like almost any shonen anime.
