If you haven't seen all of the original Dragonball, I'd highly recommend you watc that, first. It's very fun, and maybe a little too silly at times, but towards the end (the Picollo and Picollo Jr sagas) it gets pretty dark.

Speaking of which, Do you buy the DVD's, or diod you see them another way? I'm asking because I really want to get the saga in which Goku fights the red Ribbon Army, and Meets up with Arale-chan and everyone from Dr. Slump. I have the movie box set, and she's midway toward the end of Mystical Adventure.

I'm pretty disappointed that Funimation didn't release ANY of the Slump series. I don't think it would be a hit, but I guess the DBZ collectors would get a kick out of it.

Yeah, apparently (from what I've read) they wanted to get to a more 'action' part of the series (and skip the 'universe trek'). Feeling more viewers would get into it from that.

Heh! Isn't that why they skipped the ENTIRE Dragonball cartoon and whent right to Z? I do want to check out the Pilaf episode, though...

I first saw the show through bootleg VHS tapes and never bought the DVDs. I'm tempted too, especially for the Picollo saga, but the money is a little too much. I've been content just buying the Movies (have them all, finally).

The Dr. Slump crossover episode was pretty funny, as I recall. I especially liked the fake Superman character.

Well, not the entire cartoon. They got through 13 episodes and the Curse of the Blood Rubies movie before they decided to skip ahead to DBZ.

Not to step on anyone's toes or anything but as far as Dragonball Z is concerned the show is quite horrible. Goku as the hero just bugs me. He is careless and unconcerned with consequences. "Oooooh this guy's power level is so high, I can't wait to find fight him!" IE His battle with Cell. He allows this menace to grow stronger and stronger just to satisfy his warrior urges?? He could destroy the planet (and I think he does) and all Goku cares about is fighting a "worthy opponent". But there is no need for concern because the dragon balls will always be there to resurrect the planet! People can die. People can suffer. But the Dragon Balls will always resurrect them. Ugh! At least in Dragon BAll GT (for as terrible and pointless as it was) gave consequences to misusing the Dragon Balls so much.

Oh and what people have mentioned about the long drawn out fights. XP

And is it me or do they just tack on stories to gain more profit. I just saw some movie called "Fusion Reborn". WTF?? O.O

Heheheh and why oh why do I watch this anime if I hate it so much? Well...I don't. It's weird and I don't get it most of the time but I'm guessing that you're not supposed to. XD

Ah yes! Suppaiman. He eats pickled plums to get NO super powers. I've only seen 2 episodes of the real show. One actually, I think, could have been a movie. He was in the movie. I really like how Viz at least released the books up here. I think Slump is highly underrated. Plus, the Doc looks like me so much, it's freaky.

I have that box set. Cost me 6 bucks at WalMart. I remember seeing the episode where Oolong first appeared back in the 90's. It sticks out in my mind since Goku piddled on the tree. I find it odd they didn't censor that. It wouldn't have made sense without it... but then again the part where Bulma has random ants in her underwear was pretty stupid. I guess they liked the action segments better, so that's why classic DB didn't catch on.

I've also been planning to get the DVDs. Haven't gotten too many of DragonBall or GT yet, but for a time was getting the Uncut DBZ DVDs when they came out. Then ended up having to wait a while (for money constraints), and had fallen behind a bit. But hopefully some time get into buying more from each.

I'd get all of the series if certain fan prices were'nt OVER 9000!

Hahahahahaaaaa

That video had no right to be so funny, yet it was.

Man, I loved Brian Drummond's Vegeta. That's the one voice I missed the most when they swapped casts. Him and Scott McNeil's Picollo.
