ahh, two of the greatest works, created by a man considered to be a master of Manga. Which do you think is better, and beats the other out? Why?
Personally, as a diehard fan of Not only the entire Dragonball series, but of Akira Toriyama himself, i adore both series. but, what do you think?

I think that the "fate of the universe" factor in DBZ made more, intense? (For lack of a better word) Personally that's how I feel though. Not that Dragonball isn't COMPLETELY AMAZING! Love 'em both. But if I had to pick DBZ 9 months ago
comments
i agree with you ^^ they were both kind of different genres, so it's almost inevitable that some will find one better than the other ^^ -

dragonball z. by far. because dragonball was made towards s younger audience i think. dragonball set the stage for the more violent, screamy, AWESOME dragonball z. xD oh and by the way, i am glad u didnt include gt in this... because... quite frankly... it sucked. :] 10 months, 2 weeks ago
comments
haha of course i didn't include GT, cause Toriyama had nothing to do with it~ XD and it's funny you say that, cause the manga of Dragonball was actually a lot more dirty owo and i agree, DBZ was love X3 XD -

definitely. In all honesty, i've read MUCH better fanfics that would make great specials, GT sucked completely in comparison. -

Dragonball Z This is only because it was a big part of my pre-teen and teen years. The excitement and action, to me [at that time], was very engrossing and worth waiting for as the episodes gradually got dubbed year after year. The Frieza and Cell saga must be mentioned because despite how it was all "IMA CHARGIN' MY POWER LEVEL..ERR SPIRIT BOMB...FOR 6 EPISODES!" the moments Goku and Gohan transcended and Trunks' arrival from the future were memorable for me. I never really had a chance to watch much of Dragonball, but I do know that it was the most authentic and fun series that captures Akira Toriyama's goals well I'd say. The reason why GT sucked was because Toriyama was done after Z. GT was meant to try to keep making money off the franchise. Toriyama had no part in its development. And just to put this out there, whomever is calling Akira Toriyama the "master of manga" needs to quit putting that guy on a pedestal and get a history lesson. The master of manga would be Osamu Tezuka hands down. He made substantial contributions to the whole idea and style of creating manga, and how he incorporated Western animation ideas (e.g. Disney) with in-depth Japanese storytelling. 10 months, 2 weeks ago

GT had no ground to stand on. Artistic style aside, the story lines were dried up after Frieza. It just became more and more asinine. -

yes, GT was doomed from the start because of that very factor. and that's the thing, i said A master of manga, not THE. YOu are correct though, Osamu Tezuka is not only the master, he's the FATEHR of Manga. trust me, i know, i did an essay on manga~ -

Wow, I'm surprised that everyone so far has been all out for Dragonball...I was expecting the opposite. Most of my friends are all like, "DBZ!!!" and I was usually the only one to be like, "Dragonball!!" But, yes I have to say I've always been a Dragonball fan, but DBZ does bring back many memories!! :) 10 months, 2 weeks ago

then if you're really for Dragonball, you'd be happy to know they started to release the uncut and remastered season sets for it~ i can't wait to get my hands on the first season X3 -

DR.SLUMP! Oh Dragonball Vs DBZ... Dragonball was much more enjoyable for all the fighting mixed in with the adventure and comedy. and had all the characters that just fit into place. Dragonball Z was pure "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" and statements that the current villain has the most powerful level they ever felt. and that the series had totally switched onto the sayans and their never ending hair growth. And finally Dragonball GT was...Bleh 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Only one correct answer: Dragon Ball. DBZ was too serious at times, to the point where it was stupid. Honestly, the story was okay until the end of the Frieza saga. It should have just ended there. Sadly, it went on forever. If you even consider GT, or even AF, to be anything relevant, then so be it... but it really isn't. DB was campy (in a good way), exciting, and most importantly, an adventure. We met some of the best (and later neglected) characters of the series, and true character development actually occurred. Plus, that asshole Trunks wasn't anywhere to be found. 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Yeah. Back when it was Krillin, Goku and Bulma.... with the occasional appearance from Yamcha, Tien... those were the days. -

Now think back to something like the Android Saga... Humans were worthless. *sigh* At least we saw our old buddies at the very very end of GT... -

That is if you had the capacity to finish it.
Me? I skipped to the last 4 episodes after suffering through the first couple. -

Actually, it's funny everyone says that it should have ended at the Freeza saga, because Akira Toriyama WAS planning on ending it there. it was only because of angry fans that he continued XD
haha not a fan of Trunks i see? XD lmao -

I actually though GT was a spin off with a Goku look alike... -

Thanks for the info, PVL! Yeah, I thought it was the case. I don't think I've watched ALL of GT (stopped somewhere a few years ago) but I made sure to watch the final episode or two. -

no prob! ^^ same here, i have all of it on DVD, but i think i've only watched the first half
i mean, to be fair, there WERE some good points to it, like SSJ4 and the Golden Oozaru, because they made sense and had the Toriyama feel...but otherwise... -

In Dragonball, they were awesome, really strong Kids. In DBZ they got invincible. It was still fun, but even when people died they CAME BACK AS ANGELS who could still beat you up and stuff. In DragonBall GT, they were so invincible it was stupid. I like DragonBall the most. I liked DBZ the next. I hated GT. 10 months, 2 weeks ago

*nods* i see what you mean. i agree with GT, it really didn't have the Toriyama feel in it...i mean, SSJ4 was cool, but without Toriyama to back it up, it was doomed to begin with... -
