Dragon Ball Z
I found out a few months ago that there would be a Dragon Ball Z live movie. Man, I hope they do the show justice.
Btw, I wasn’t a huge fan of the show way back in the day. I was aware that the show came on Cartoon Network, but never got into it. (I liked Gundam Wing better.)
However, a guy at work, being a huge Dragon Ball Z fan, offered me his Entire collection to borrow on the weekend. How did this historic exchange happen? Well, here you go…
Guy: Hey, do you want to borrow my whole collection of Dragon Ball Z tapes?
Me: (I give it much thought.) I don’t have anything else better to do this weekend or any weekend. Okay. Why not?

So, I watched the tapes of this cartoon show for the whole weekend, but I had to keep the them longer and watched the rest of the it. With all its strangeness, I actually started to take a liking to the show.
If you get a chance, try the show out.
Key things to know.
~ There are two versions of the show, Uncut and cut. The Uncut has more blood, fighting, sexual jokes, and all the good stuff.
~ Most of the time, the English voice acting is way over the top. But, that’s the whole charm behind the show.
~ The fights are really long. I mean they will span over several 30 min episodes. One single fight is about 10 episodes long, no kidding!
~ The coolest thing about the show is most of the heroes used to be villains of the main Character at some point.
~ There are three main shows Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon ball GT.
~ Most of the movies DO NOT fit into the TV show universe. Trust me they don’t. Besides, only one new character crossed over from the movies, and he was cute little dragon. (Strange that they never explained his appearance on the show.)

Paris is Rich, and she can come back from the dead. I'll say Paris.
Thanks for coming by Paul
I just played through DBZ Budokai Tenchaichi (or however you spell that second word), and I just started watching the show online, and even though I generally know what happens, it is still really compelling.
Yeah, the show can be good and annoying at the same time. Like a certain fight that takes about ten episodes to complete.
I never finished the show, but I got up to the Maj Boo stuff.
There are some good things about the show. I just have to finish the show.
Apparently, the "new" Kai DBZ is a much condensed and tighter version of the original series (planned for 100 eps instead of the nearly 300 the original run was)... so they probably cut the fights down to a more watchable length.
Okay, I'm going to have to get back into the series. And, get enough guts to sit through Dragon Ball GT, if I can. It seems even the people that like the American dub hate GT.
On the plus side, the voice acting will be same straight through now.
BTW, if you get into the movies/specials, keep in mind most of them are out of continuity with the TV series.
But there are some that do fit into the series though. And, one character from one of the "out of continuity movies" shows up in the series(!)
