dragon ball z

1. popular japaneese cartoon featuring poorly drawn characters that cannot be distinguished from each other, poor voicing, and battles between good and evil forces that can take dozens of episodes before completed. Episodes consist mostly of staredowns and vein-pumping of opposing fighters and brief moments of shooting lasers from palms and lightning punching & kicking. The show is also complete with repeated grunts, groans, and constipation noises that make you think theres an outhosue next to your TV
