I have been a huge Dragonball fan ever since I saw it a few years ago and I was wondering if anyone else wants to see it more on TV. Ever since I heard that Dragonball was cancelled, I was devastated. I'm sure I'm not the only one, so post, post, post!
...please...
-
Uh, cancelled? No? Do you even know how these things work?
-
Cancelled as in new episodes? No, It has had it's run of arcs and it's done with. And if it's not on TV then buy a DVD.
-
As mush as I love the Dragonball series, I believe it has run its course, not to mention continuing it would lead to more awful crap like GT.
Besides, if you love the series that much, there's always the rereleases, card game, action figures and video games to immerse yourself in. DBZ is practically the anime equivalent of Star Wars in that the fanbase can't seem to get enough of it.
-
I don't really have anything to say about Dragonball, except that it's about time that they took it off the air. It was drawn out for far too long, and the series is kind of pointless why not just wish for the dragon balls to never disappear from eachother after the last wish?
-
It's one of the few wishes that can't be granted, Just like you can't wish for unlimited wishes for example.
-
continuing it would lead to more awful crap like GT.
Gosh, did I ever hate GT. What the heck were they thinking? Perhaps if they had Akira Toriyama working behind it, GT wouldn't have messed up as bad as it did.

Oh. See, I didn't watch the show enough to remember such a detail. (I wouldn't have watched it at all if it wasn't for the anime music videos that are associated with it that a couple of friends of mine downloaded..)
-
GT is not crap! I thought that this would be a fun poll, but I guess now I see that all of you guys hate Dragonball...I WAS THE ONLY ONE SO FAR TO VOTE FOR "YES"!...but I guess that's to be expected since I started the poll.
I'm still hoping for at least one other person to say Yes...
Sorry. I guess I was just ticked off at the fact that no one likes Dragonball anymore. :(
...but still...I wish that there was someone else who liked it...
-

That is so far from the truth it's not even funny.
-
I like DragonBall, more than Z and GT, Because it always wasn't about fighting.
-
I definitely don't hate it, although I've never watched it, either.
My main point is that it wasn't canceled. Because anime shows end.
-
Dragonball? Not really my favorite thing....
-
I consider DragonBall/DragonBall Z the greatest story ever told. I'd love to see Toriyama continue the story, but I'd even settle for it to be opn T.V. a little more than just once a week
-
DBZ was on last night on Cartoon Network. Brought back some memories, I suppose.
-
If there's one thing I don't like about Dragonball, it's the fact that since it was one of the few animes to be released on mainstream TV, it's popularity caused people to see it along with Sailor Moon and Pokemon and think all anime/Japanese entertainment in existence is like that,
Otherwise, it ain't such a bad show, if a little repetitive in the fight scene department and formulaic plot-wise.
-
I loved Dragonball when I was adolescent. However, all good things must come to an end. The Dragonball(Z) anime franchise lasted longer than it should have. In my opinion, they should have ended it after Majin Buu. And GT should have never seen the light of day.
-
Honestly, Dragonball was the reason I was so put off to Japanese entertainment initially. Only a year ago did I realize that there were some earnestly appealing (to me) animes out there. Or one, at least.
I'm not a fan of the challenge and fighting and fighting and challenge tonight* type of animes.
*HSR reference
-
Dude that's exactly what Yakitate!! Japan is.
-
Challenge, sure, but it doesn't seem to fit "fighting" part. Yakitate!! Japan is at the same time making fun of all the other shonen with the exaggeration of almost any task, which is one of the things that really made me laugh.
-
The one reason people hate Dragonball Z is all the stuff Funimation did to make it cool. It had all those pointless, long, drawn out fight scenes, which were present in the Japanese version (obviously) but it got rid of Toriyama's little touches that made it such a classic of the late 80's/early 90's anime. FUNi's music was way too serious, and the dub voices didn't match the Japanese seiyuu at all.
Case in point: Vegita sounded like a cocky prince in the Japanese version, but the dub gave us the most horrid deliverly of a line ever. "OVER 9000!!!" His dub voice sound like someone scratched their throat with sand paper.
Dragon Ball's earlier seasons were awesome, since Toriyama brought over a number of factors from his previous series, Dr. Slump (which I haven't read yet, I heard it's funny).
-
I take back what I said about everyone hating Dragonball. Now I see that, even though the poll doesn't show it, you guys actually like Dragonball, except for the few that think it was, dare I say it, crap.
YAY!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
Voted Don't care.
Aren't there DVDs?
-
I used to watch dragon ball, the original, Z and GT. It's over, I mean, a long time ago there's no more DB. You can buy the entire seasons (like I do) in DVD. So I really don't care about if they back to the TV, I think Toriyama is in other stuff right now. Besides, you can always buy a Clarissa Explains All DVD and be happy like a fish!
-
Voted Don't care.

There are DVDs, but I can't get one because I have no money. Maybe if I get a job next year, I can actually get some. Right now, I can only wait...
-
I love shows like Naruto. I like Dragonball Z more than Dragonball, but it wouldn't be bad if it was back on TV.
-
sure!! dragonball is a nice cartoon
