What do you people think is better, Dragonball or Dragonballz?
I personally think Dragonball because it has
1-Better character development
2-Shows the strength humans have, instead of focusing on Saiyans and going Super Saiyan
3-Shows more emotion at times (example, how thankful Krillin was when he saw Goku at the tournment when he heard how he brought him back to life)
4-Has more of a plot.

Problems
1-Sometimes it loses it's seriousness. Like when goku woke up after being ko'd by Piccolo's child, all he can think about is food
2-Master Roshi
3-Launch's accent(yellow)
4-Some of the attacks are plan weird. How Tao kills one of the people by putting his tongue on his pressure points

Man, there are times that I really should know not to investigate stuff which I find out about in the internet. Supposedly PVC releases something called Dioxin, which causes cancer.
Which is just great, that means im being progressively killed by the PVC anime figures on the bookshelf behind me. So just to let you all know, if I suddenly drop dead from cancer and stop posting, its Key's fault (cause all my anime figures are from their animes/games :P )
Anywho, subject of Key. After that little bought of depression I was in need of a little vaguely anime related retail therapy (though lets face it, I would have bought it anyways :P ), so I just spent half of last weeks paycheck on the limited edition version of the Girls Dead Monster live concert that was held at the beggining of this year.
Leaving the fact that I love the music and Angel Beats is my favorite anime aside, this purchase just affirms the fact that i'll buy anything if you put a cute girl on the front cover, especially if its Yui (who, since we've been discussing favorite characters, is mine).

All I've really watched is a rare episode of FMA, and the whole series of Elven Lied.
In my opinion, DBZ doesn't count.. Battle scenes are way too long. It was like a forty episode or more buildup before they got to Frieza, and then he was destroyed pretty easily. Kind of anti-climatic...

If you can really call them 'battle scenes" at all. Its been a long time since ive seen any DBZ, but if I recall correctly they tend to spend more time standing around discussing (evil villains name here)'s plan than they do of actually getting on with the buissness of blowing them up.

Killed easily? They spent over 20 episodes fighting him.
But you have to remember, the anime and manga were running at the same time, so in reality you do kind of need those 'talking' scenes to push the story more.
I don't just want mindless fighting, I will go to New York for that, tyvm. :)
The groan noises could of been replaced with something less obnoxious.

What I heard from an inrl friend was that they had planned something different for the fight with Frieza.. or management changed or something. I forget, but it ended up to be longer than it was originally intended to
