Well, as the popularity of this series is huge, I was surprised not to see a DB thread on the PGC boards. So, I took the liberty of starting one :-P

First off, I've taken a recent obsession to GT. I have very few episodes on my computer, and am looking as far as the eye can see to get more; help? I don't want to do anything illegal, like P2P, or anything, nor do I want a site with porn and other sorts of crap. I just want a clean site that has GT eps on it. DBZGT.net closed, as well as Dragon Ball No Return. They used to have eps, but they're no where to be seen. So, does ANYONE have ANY idea where I can get GT episodes? Thanks much!.

I doubt you'll find many sites these days willing to empty their wallets by having a ton of DBGT episodes sitting there.
As for the actual show.. Well, I did quite like DBZ when it started. But then when I realized over the half the episode consisted of the two chunky necked 'tards powering up and grinning, well.... I sorta... Backed off. I've managed to catch the majority of the series though, due to repeats in the morning.

It's like a soapy for kids. You know a big battle is coming up, but they make you sit though 20 or so pointless episodes of smiling and powering up before they get to it..

Chichi is such a bitch, Goku should stand up to her

well i prefer dragon ball to dragon ball z...dragon ball z in my eyes seems so cheeply animated...i mean alot of those long drawn out battles seem to be just trying to keep the show on by keeping as little action in it as possible. Dragon Ball has way more action in each more episode. As well as humor. Also its fun to see how goku became the badass rather then him being the badass and like making the enemies seem so week.

It pays off every now and then, like when Goku and Vegeta start fighting and blowing up mountains and the entire world again Goku says "Darn him!"

*Gets back off the floor*
Holy crap, S-U-P-E-R, that was freakin' hilarious.

Isn't the GC getting a Dragonball Z game, soon? MAYBE SOME FANS WILL MUTATE OVER HERE AND CONFUSE US WITH GRINNING AND CHUNKY NECK EMULATION! =o

no DBZ discussion is complete without a view(tiful)ing of this little gem infernal showed me, its funtastic to the maxxx!

back on the topic how ever, DBZ to me is mehish, but then ive only seen the weak translated versions, i wanna see the japanese unedited versions, they are better aparently.. *grins then stands on the spot yelling for a good half an hour*

DBZ is a disgrace to Anime IMO.DB was fun, but they pulled it out of stores here in Fnland, because of pedhofilia(sp?)

ThePerm · « **Reply #8 on:** October 10, 2003, 12:51:31 AM »

they cover it up in the u.s.
culture is different in Japan and they didnt mean some things in a perverted way..but then again they meant some other things in a perverted way.

PIAC · « **Reply #9 on:** October 10, 2003, 12:51:51 AM »

there was paedofilia in dragon ball? ;___;

Fish · « **Reply #10 on:** October 10, 2003, 02:27:01 AM »

So we got the uncensored version? Cool. They only published 4 of the books(I got all four

) And then they pulled them out, the publisher says they might come back, it's not like goverment banned the book, it's just that it had some many complaints(mostly from parents, they tried even ban Pokemon because they though Poke Rap is trying to brainwash them into buying Pokemon stuff, Damn those flower hat grannys!)

And it did have some of that stuff, Mutenroshi(or something like that) wanted to "touch" Bulma, and actually succeed. I though it's just funny, but some people... -____-

PIAC · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2003, 02:44:35 AM »

how old is bulma in DB? 16 or something isn't she? then i guess i can see why people got all angry and such, ive only seen about 3-4 episodes of DB, and i must say i enjoyed them more than DBZ, but then hordes of annoying little kids playing DBZ gets annoying too, part of the reason im kinda dislikeing it

its a bit like power rangers...

DarkRockerX · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:17:56 AM »

The Dragonball series are on the of best animes out there, the Gundam series tend to be better. It's more than just fighting pointlessly with bulky muscles and stuff. Instead, there's a reason of every fight, like vengance or threatening their home. Dragonball Z is by far the best, then probably Dragonball. Dragonball GT is an unworthy sequel to DB and DBZ. It had some good parts, but its mainly like they said before: pointless fighting. Although, Super 17 and the Bebi sagas were good, and they introduced SSJ4. But GT was waaaay too short.

Well, the thread doesn't seem like a total bust

Anyway, many of you (and like half of the anime-loving world) have said that GT is an unworthy sequel to DB and DBZ because it has less action. This is how I see it:

Dragonball - The series that's action, humor, and engaging story got us hooked.

DBZ - Though it started well with Radeitsu (Radditz for you dubbies) and the Saiya-jin (Saiyan) thing, it seemed to lack story, and seemed to be repetative with people coming to kill people and then they kill people, etc.

DBGT - Though I agree that it didn't have as much action (then again, it was only 64 eps), it had something that I think DBZ lacked major: story. I enjoyed the Bebi (Baby) saga, especially when Pan's sorrow turned Son Gokuh (Goku) in his Golden Oozaru (a golden abd more powerful form of the Saiyan monkey) to SSJ4 (Super Saiyan 4).

Oh well. Personally, I think DBZ was the worst of the three, yet it was still one of my favorite animes ever. Oh yeah, some major news! Those of you who don't wanna go buy the dubbed VHS/DVD's won't have to wait long to see GT - on November 7, a new meaning of the phrase TGI Friday will be created! Starting that day, and for the coming Fridays, Toonami will air GT. I don't really care...I think Funimation butchers every series it tries to dub (except Yu Yu - they did that well).

So I just watched the movie....

It was laughably bad.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2009, 02:48:27 PM »

So it is worth watching?
Laughably bad seems like a one thumbs up review as the other thumb didn't bother to take a vote.

How long is the movie?

Stogi · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2009, 03:23:08 PM »

The movie is terrible and I would only recommend it to people I hate.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2009, 06:07:17 PM »

good job bumping a six year old thread

I enjoyed the movie enough. Wasn't nearly as horrible as I thought it was going to be. I went opening night, my girlfriend was begging to go.

Caliban · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:08:28 AM »

A good friend of mine watched this movie. I couldn't convince him from not watching it, so he did watch it, and he liked the damn movie *facepalm*.

As for the good news, I watched Crank High Voltage. Watch it if you liked/loved Crank.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:50:15 AM »

What little I know of the movie makes me wish I had died last year.

oohhboy · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2009, 10:04:02 AM »

What a bump.

I used to watch this back when I was a kid. I still have the VHS I recorded off the T.V. in HK. One tape contains 1 minute of actual fighting. On a 3 hour tape. Take a good guess what that story was about.

It's good when they fight, but the endless hours of posturing, flying around, squatting(with/out screaming) or just plain staring each other down bkgbrwibbhoinbamav.

How does the new movie do against Mortal Combat?

Stogi · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2009, 10:13:52 AM »

Terrible. At least MK was funny.
