Hadn't checked the thread in a couple days, been busy. That pic is pure win Zoma. Also that Vegeta comic is too cute.

I still remember what I was doing as a kid when I came across Dragonball on TV for the first time. Fell in love with it instantly. As a young boy of course I loved the action. I also wished so bad that I could be Goku lol. I always had trouble getting to watch it though because I was in hockey and it was always at the same time. So here's me seeing maybe 4 episodes of dragonball as a kid and it was by far my favorite show. Upset me that I always missed it and then it was canceled or whatever for a few years.
Then i got a little older and DBZ appeared and the show had seemed to grow up with me. I was so jacked. By then I had figured out how to record stuff on VHS so I did that and me and my best friend at the time would come to my house after hockey and watch it. Plus most people hate it, but I love the anticipation of a battle or a big move. The more episodes they put for building the big climatic battle or whatever, just makes the climax more memorable for me. I really loved the feeling of anticipation after every episode.
That's what makes it memorable for me at least. Along with all the normal stuff of course, like Super Saiyans, Vegeta and Goku's chemistry and Goku's unstoppable will and calm.

The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the mentat-generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself, "Now what is this thing doing?" -Children of Dune
Anticipation of battle is good. Titles of episodes spoiling the story of the episode were really bad though.
To be honest it didn't bother me much as a kid. If anything it just made me look forward to the next week more.
It would annoy me now though if I was watching it with fresh eyes. My line of thinking then was so what if I know Frieza's dead next episode, I cant wait to see how it goes down! Being older now though, I need a little surprise in my shows for interest. Not being told what's exactly coming next is nice.

Yeah the titles always are .. funny. Show ending, "Will goku beat frieza? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!" *Title appears "Goku Beats Frieza!"*
DL'ing 35gb of DBZ Kai, it's so slow...but it's in 720p dual-audio goodness, gonna be something I keep forever!
Although DBZ is the ONLY anime in which the original japanese voices freak the shit out of me because Goku sounds like a retarded goat and throws water all over my childhood memories.

best of super buu
on the subject of why DBZ was so good when it came out, i remember getting up one morning, and did any of you used to put in hair gel? well i got up and i had hair gel in from the day before, so my hair was all up and puffy and stuff ( i cant explain it any better than this) and my mother makes the comment "you look like dragonball z"
i felt pretty awesome then, it also may have nothing really to do with it, but was just an awesome moment from my childhood that had DBZ
I see Stupid people!
also does any 1 else think that if trunks was a pure breed saiyan
he would be a LSS?
He does end up looking a lot like broly
I could totally picture him saying "Smashing" while punching through Omega Shenron.
Action/comedies are the best. It's always great to hear a good one-liner right before or after an epic action scene.
