Yay!!! I love Dragonball!!!!!!!!!
The Dragonball anime is my favorite though, I don't really lke the anime of Dragonball Z as much, the manga is incredible though, Toriyama is amazing!!!
My problem with Dragonball Z is the outragous amount of power and explosions, Dragonball is less chaotic in that regard. Also after Freeza saga things got too weird!! Super Sayian 3?
But the Sayian and Freeza sagas are amazing!!!!!!!!!

Everybody knows that Z was the best. DB was very good as well. GT however....well how can I put this....uhhh...ummmm.....su...SUCKED! there we go, it sucked. It was created by a corporation so that it could harvest more money from the cash cows that were DB and DBZ. Trust me, DBGT is the WORST. It was really stupid. The only cool parts were Goku and Vejita combined attacks..


As for Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is ok for the first season. Sailor Moon R is good, too. (Nice Story). Everything else concerning that show was horrible. They dragged it into the street and shot it in the head.

Lanagirl, it's about alien teenagers who don't know they are super powered princesses of other planets in the solar system. This is made clear to them by talking cats so that the girls can become huge chested sailors with super natural powers to fight people from other dimensions. It was cool for the first two series, but then it got stupid. Sorry, it just did.

Yeah dragonball gt wasnt very succesful...i'm one of the few who liked it because of the animation quality and the plot got a bit different which i liked for a change, but i can understand why most people didnt like it, not only it wasnt made by toriyama himself, most people consider the first part of gt boring.

Actually, The Final season was By far the best. (did you even see Stars? it never aired here in the states) The art got better, the story telling flowed better, and the characters where already established... Otherwise I agree, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Moon Returns were good, S was kinda ok, and SuperS was crap. Big Chested? That's funny, 'cause we always joked about how they looked flat chested and long legged but yeah, Naoko Takeuchi (the woman who created the series) actually wanted the characters to have more of a sexual side to them, but the producers and editors wouldn't allow it. I always found that funny, that the women wanted the series more perverted than the men did

And they wern't really aliens, they were reincarnated as Girls from earth, with the ability to activate the Sailor Soldiers inside them, just incase anyone from the dark moon decided to attack.

I can't say I liked what I've seen of GT, doesn't have Toriyama-san's touch to it!!

I like Dragon Ball and the first season of DBZ (the saiyan saga) but now it's just not really intresting to me, I watch it when nothing else is on.
But is it just me or is Vegita's character totally gone, He was always a jerk and difficult to work with but now he's a regualr do-gooder, removing the fun part of his chracter.

I used to watch dragonball z. I really liked the show especially the sayian and Freeza sagas. But i never really got into the show after the cell saga ended. But i agree Vegeta's character really changed. I mean he went from a dark soul to a regular do-gooder.

"Quiet boy! Where is your honor? Kakarot, like all pure blooded sayians, would rather die trying then win with one of those disgraceful sensu beans as his crutch!" Vegeta from the cell games saga

The manga is great, but the anime isn't. Some good moments with some good songs, but they add too much to the fights. The fight with Freezer didn't even last like five issues, but in the anime, it's like thirty friggin' episodes. GT, I'm not going to even bother watching it, I already seen a few episodes, and it sucks. Without Toriyama's guidance, the show falls flat on it's face.

Dragonball iis by far the best of the three and I actually like GT. DBZ was good until the Freeza saga ended and then it was the same over and over again. I like GT because it isn't anything like DBZ or DB. And because Pan is pretty cool.

If I remember correctly, Toriyama wanted to ended the series witht he Freeza saga, but Toei(?) coaxed him to keep on going. But you can tell he was already bored and out of ideas.

Oh...i thought it started airing in america and i didnt find out well i think manga entertainment does have the rights to the series but havent done anything with it, then again im not sure, it might only be the movie's right.

Same here, it was different (who would want more of the same when there were already around 300 episodes of that stuff?I would but...if this makes you guys any happier at the half of the series the fights start, they go super sayajin 4...and such...sigh :p )
I also liked pan too
As for the dragonball z manga...i've only read a couple of issues but it was good, i'm more of a fan of anime rather than manga so of course i prefer the anime, even though the filler episodes get tiresome.

I enjoy DB/Z. This is when I started to get into the Anime thing (DB wasn't my first anime I ever saw, though). The DBZ dub was very bad, especially during the Freeza Saga (that's when FUNimation decided to leave Canada, and go to TX. Therefore, the VAs from Vancouver did not do the voices anymore, they hired new people.) The first seasons had a lot of editing, but had better acting (in my opinion, anyway).

Anyhoo, I'm one of those people that prefer the animated series over the Manga (in most cases), even though I understand why a lot hate the Anime.

At last, someone that prefers the original
And yeah i forgot to mention akira toriyama himself got sick of dragonball z at some point, probably the friezer saga according to you guys, and started writing bad episodes with the intent that he would get fired (he was sick of dbz already :p ) but people loved it and it went on for a crapload more episodes.
So i don't see why you guys are so worried about toriyama not being involved in gt, the guy would've tried to ruin gt (i dont blame the guy tho )
Then again, that could've been good...weird :p
