The show that is almost every American's initial exposure to anime. Has a bad rap for its long 50-episode-battles to save the universe. The plot moves forward at a snail's pace, as opposed to Dragonball and GT.
Bad guy gets stronger, good guy says ouch. Then good guy gets stronger, bad guy says ouch. Repeat 20-30 episodes.

Get the dragonball z mug.Dragon Ball Z (also known as DBZ or just simply DragonBallz), is a show about a bunch of battle-hardened, 'roid enraged, angry, and constipated super-apes who spend 28 minutes of each episode telling each other about how they're going to kick each others' asses and then spend the other 2 minutes yelling in constipation. Their power is stored in their ballz, which they all stole from dragons because they had none of their own. They have to drag these Dragon Balls around with them, thus they are Draggin' Balls. Hence the name of the show. It is like anime crack. Almost all serious otaku started by watching DBZ and moved onto other shows to try to fill the sorry fact that most of them have no life. Five countries have banned the series because they feared that the economy would collapse if they allowed this into their nations. Most economic problems can be traced to the addition of this show to the regular TV line up in countries where it appears. The show bears more than a passing resemblance to professional wrestling.
Technically Dragon Ball Z was preceeded by Dragon Ball but, although the show is much funnier and contains more pedophilia and lecherous old man jokes, no one watches it. Nor do they watch the DBZ sequel series Dragon Ball GT, a show no one even knows what it was about. They cant even watch Dragonball AF, mainly because it doesn't fucking exist
When watching Dragon Ball Z under the influence of drugs, it is said that any mortal recognizes how crappy it actually is, since especially Cannabis makes DBZ resemble a fucked-up project by Czechoslovakian Art-Students from the 80's which it actually is.

Get the Dragonball Z mug.Just to clairfy something-I've seen DBZ, I admit, in English.
The first season, where they fight Freeza is good. Then, due to it's popularity, they made about a thousand other episodes. (that were crap) Past the part with the Androids, it just got annoying.
The story is based around the characters of Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Bulma, Vegeta, Trunks, ChiChi, Gotenks, Goten, Videl, exc...there are a lot. They generally beat up the baddies and are the good guys. It's a fighting show.

Get the Dragon Ball Z mug.a lame show that I watched when I was 9. Its about some guy named goku who spends about 60 episode let me repeat that 60 EPISODES fighting a bad guy. Worse yet the fights are garbage and the show is always doing one of these things.
1) characters staring at awe at someones power
2) powering up
3) fighting in poorly drawn fights
4) having about 30 seconds of plot progress per episode
5) showing every characters reaction to something no matter how insignificant they are. ex- Chi-chi fainting all the goodamn time while watchting the fight through a crystal ball.
6) grunting.

by GOOD GOD what a crap show December 2, 2003
Get the dragonball z mug.1) one of the most popular animes ever created
2) possibly the most over-rated anime ever created
3) an anime that isn't as good as people make it out to be, whether it be dubbed or subbed
4) a show that has been replayed to death
5) an okay anime but nowhere near as good as Rurouni Kenshin or Cowboy Bebop

Get the Dragonball Z mug.Now im assuming you know the basics of this show, so im countering hate definitions with a few simple facts.
1:if you hate most anime/maga, thats fine.no need to crudely define a show and waste your time when you could be doing something you like. if you do hate japanese cartoons, this aint for you.
2:I will admit, this show is overly complicated, and filled with filler(crap made to prolong a series, until good shit is written to follow after it.)simply skip it if you dont like filler. All those overly charged attacks, the twenty episode scream marathons....are filler. Okay?
3:The plot is confusing as hell, unless you tune in from episode 1, to episode 300. most is filler. but dont hate on its length. most shows like south park, the simpsons, and a few others run longer. watch what you like, and stop watching at whatever season you hate. For me, it was the buu saga.but i dont bitch about it because its an opinion.
4:the audience age range does vary greatly. this show has been broadcasted from over the top blood and guts violence, to little scratches with no blood. if you make fun of its audience, please dont forget us "old geeks"

Guy 1: hey man, dragon ball z sucks cause it has long attacks that last forever, a repetitive story, it makes no sense, and my shows are way better. its a little kid show.
Guy 2:filler,most of us fans started watching when we were kids, and moved on to violent cuts today, most storylines are repetitive, life, fight, betrayal, death, fuck off.
Guy 1: wtf, im going on Urban dictionary to post a hate post, cuz YOU have no life.
GUy 2:go ahead waste your time.
