 Why is DBZ so popular?

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

simple

because its a fighting anime and has advanced powers

i cant think of a hardcore fighting anime that hasnt been popular.

[miloy2k (#34597)]

Yup.. agree with LoStSouLs.. exspecialy on the fire power, "Super Saiya.. level 1,2,3,4"

[Kathy-chan (#34587)]

well.. i have a friend who is mad about dbz and i am also in a anime club at my school, and if you say "we are going to watch dbz" the club members wants to shot the one who wants to bring it.

remeber the saga with frezza? or how ever you spell it.. anyways.. it took 5eps just for goku to power up then it took 10 more to beat him when it was supped to be 8eps total!! >.<

Why is DBZ so popular? 2 reasons:

1) Merchandising oppurtunities, a ludicrous amount of commercial tie ins properly funded will usually guarentee a series' success because money talks.

2) some ppl are just weird

[Wolfsktaag (#34648)]

One of the simplest reasons I can think of is that people don't care for originality or story line. They just want to see things die.
Also there are people who like anime and think that all anime is like that and don't know what they're missing out on

[Wizard-of-Oz (#21859)]

I moved this topic to the dragon ball z section. In the future try to post things that have to do with a particular series on their board.

DBZ was really popular back in the day because really it was the only thing around here.. There was other stuff, but it was also mostly kids that were in to it.. kids dont care about plot or depth.. It was repetitive and it worked.. Personally, I hate it, but i hated the crappy dub i watched on cartoon netowrk.. maybe if i saw it in its original form i would have atleast given it a chance..

[hakkai (#25024)]

even though most ppl(including me) hate DBZ there are some parts some ppl(including me) like. for example i liked vageta(sp). to tell ya the truth i loved the show when i first saw it. then when i saw better anime i hated it.

so basically:

-ppl love it cuz that's the only anime they have seen
-that's the first anime they have seen
-have bad taste

[Animal4890 (#469)]

I'm not so sure the producers of DBZ were ever looking to make a good anime. I think they just wanted to make something that was fun to watch and make a bunch of money while doing it.

minorly off topic here:

Congrats on your 1k post anime ^_^

back on topic:


I find DBZ to be somewhat unenjoyable.

@ gaz i dont really know anyone that does find it enjoyable.. ^_^

[Wolfsktaag (#34648)]

To sum up what everyone (who hates it that is)and use a nifty analogy to boot: DBZ is like plain old water. You think its great if you never drink anything else. We however have maved to better things such as DNL, Mountain Dew, and A&W Root Beer Once you've had the good stuff you'll never go back.
(To hakkai, I loved Vegeta too, Key sylyble lovED, but he got soft and lost his style and ENOURMOUS ego so I found other people who are full of themselves...Like Sora of .Hack//Sign)

[hakkai (#25024)]

stop talking about drinks! making me thirsty.......

yes people full of them selves never get old.

Dragonball/Z/GT

[Nereid Congregate (#17395)]

hmm.. I liiked DBZ alot when i am small. But when i see it now, i cant understand how i liked it in the past!

However, the manga still rocks. THe anime is badly made(poor colors), the animation are repititive(a series tht belonged to the museum ). It is made so badly that i usually just listen to the song when it is aired. THe song kinda catches me...

But the manga sure belonged to another class as compared to the anime. And GT series is not bad i say...

DBZ

[shireen (#57486)]

ok i don't see why everyone hates DBZ, i personally love it, loved it it doesn't show anymore

it was the anime that i watched first and i was totally hooked on to it, but i didn't see the whole show cause htey dubbed it in Hindi and i really hated that so i stopped watching it.

but if i get a chacne to see it in english/with subtitles i'm sure i would start to love it again, its a great show according to me

[Termis (#85725)]

Personaly i liked dbz untill freeza saga. Everything else is crap. But i enjoyed first time watching all of dbz

[MissFordFocus (#22950)]

I think people like it and continue to watch it because it has a "soap opera effect"-you can miss 5 or 10 episodes and not be completely loss in the story line when you watch it again. With a lot of the anime that comes out now if you miss 1 episode you're completely loss (which sucks). That's why I still watch it .

[Basaiken (#41941)]

Well I personally dislike it because of: Some of the things that happened in the story, there fight scenes are so long, and whenever they fight its the same thing. They fight someone, lose, train and become way stronger, fight the same guy and because they are so strong get cocky (or are still weaker than the enemy), then the enemy takes the upper hand and the hero starts losing, the situation looks grim and suddenly the hero is victorious (which is usually Goku). Thats mostly why I hate it but if i had to watch one of them id watch Dragonball.
