Why do people like Dragon Ball Z so much?

I don't get it? The character design looks kind of dumb, but the backgrounds look gorgeous. How-ever, it's just mind-less fighting with very simplistic stories and characters. The animation and fights are dragged to death, with low-budget animation and poorly choreo-graphed fights. The soundtrack is meh... The English Dub is really cheesy and exaggerated. I'm not trying to sound like a hater, but I just don't get it. I understand it's supposed to be a mindless fighting action-Shonen Anime, but with the retarded character designs, the poor animation and bad choreo-graphy, and the cheesy English dub, it just seems so goofy and hard to take seriousily. I understand how it can be appealing and accessible to kids, but I don't understand the huge praise among the teenager and adult crowd of it.

      For a lot of people in America it was their very first anime, so it has a nostalgic value. I think DBZ had a lot of buildup for their playoffs. Personally, I would prefer less buildup and more payoff, but the playoffs themselves in general are pretty good when you can finally see goku beat nappa and vegeta and frieza, or see gohan finally beat cell.

      • Dbz just has the tendency to be action packed when the fights start to get really heated. That excitement alone is enough to get people craving for more. Not to mention, just when you think you've seen it all, another villain enters the scene with much greater strength than the previous villain. *Cough Cough* Lord Beerus knockin' super saiyan 3s out with a single hit to the neck *Cough Cough*

      • 1. You are obviously very ignorant on this. You probably watched like 2 episodes and some clips. 2. You're talking about a like 40 year old anime and you expect all the shit you mentioned to be fabulous? 3. Have you even seen the new stuff? Of course you didn't. Because none of what you said applies at all. Watch the Battle of Gods movie. Wait, why am I even indulging a weeaboo? Go back to fapping to your waifu, kid.

          • I used to be the same, but looking back, it really sucked. Only good fight was cell honestly. Dragonball was good, but GT was horrendous. Tbh everyone either liked it because we liked it as kids or because everyone is gay for goku. [spoiler]Everyone is gay for Goku[/spoiler]

            • Watch Dragon ball, then DBZ, then all the movies, then the Abridged series by Team Four Star. After all of that, stay away from GT and then state your opinion.

                It's the only good anime. Most people who say it doesn't have a story don't realize that each story is divided into the Sagas. Saiyan Saga Frieza Saga Android Saga Cell Saga Majin Buu Saga Each has their own story. Most animes are nothing but: Boobs, boobs, bigger boobs, bouncing boobs, Guy in the middle of awkward situations with boobs. Dagon Ball Z is the only good anime. You'd have to comprehend it first, until then, opinions are irrelevant.

                    • Low budget animations? It was late 80's early 90's it first aired so it wasn't all like it is now. Just like video games graphics are so much better than they were ten years ago.
