I thought this would be the best time to mention DBZ as it seems to get more popular the older it gets. Let’s get some things straight;
The manga is awesome, if you can afford to eat; you should be able to afford at least 1 vol. In terms of the anime, I personally believe that DBZ lacks the 'wow factor' as it does on page.
However, I think that the English dub is better than the original. Sure, they originally cut some of the violence, but if the subtitles on the r1 releases are correct for the Japanese audio, I think we were saved from one of the most boring shows ever.
The movies rock people, apart from the r2 releases, and movie 10 & 11, but the rest are good, can’t wait for movie 13. sure we get screwed in the UK in terms of releases, but play.com’s international site sells a lot of the series and its still free delivery.
Finally, in terms of the recent games, I think they are the best anime-videogame adaptations, especially Budokai 3. That is how it’s done people.
That’s my 2 pence on DBZ, what’s yours?
