Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 DBZ is way too long and slow-paced. 99% of the episodes are just filled with stupid ****. They could have easily made it 54 episodes instead of 291. And another thing, in the English one they've censored and cut so much ****, about 15-20 episodes worth. As in whats happening in English episode 210 is probably happening in Japanese episode 227. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 that may be true but its still a lot better than listening to voices of japanese people that guys sound like girls music sounds like old 8bit Nintendo Midi cartridges with horrible picture quality it sucks that they've censored it so much but to people new to the show it doesnt matter besides who wants 54 episodes of this great cartoon when you can have 250+?

Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 the jap voices ALL sound like girls And the English Freezer doesn't sound like a girl? Damn, because of that it was hard to remember Freezer's gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devin2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 ah, but to much of a good thing always goes bad. I wounder out of those 250+ shows, how many are the same story but in different places and with other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 if you look at frieza he doesnt exactly look like the kinda person that would have a voice like cell, i think they picked the voices perfectly...they go with each character real good especially goku and vegeta but its better than having vegeta and goku both sounding the same (jap) sounding like little school girls when they're suppose to be men but hey...

Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Why sit through 250+ episodes if you can watch 50 and see all of the same thing? Who wants to hear: Freezer: Ahahahah! I have tricked you! I was only using 1% of my TRUE power! Kuririn: *gasp* Piccolo: *gasp* Gohan: *gasp* Gokou: Oh yeah, well I was only using 0.5% of MY power, so there! Kuririn: *gasp* Piccolo: *gasp* Gohan: *gasp* Freezer: Oh, yeah! Well I have a super secret technique that'll kill you all in a second, so there! Kuririn: *gasp* Piccolo: *gasp* Gohan: *gasp* I just wish they'd get to the ****ing point and do something, rather than sit there and talk or gasp or whatever for 19 minutes of the episodes.

freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 the more the better according to a lot of people thats why it is so popular if everybody had your attitude towards it the show wouldnt've been a success why have 200+ episodes of any show if you're going to get to the point people dont want less of something thats good, they want more otherwise we wouldnt have soap operas and sitcoms.

devin2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I don't listen to polls. 1000 people don't represent 300,000,000 and they certainly will never represent me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 well regardless of what age group the people that dubbed the english versions intended it for i still think it is good and if i could speak or read japanese i might like that version better but i dont really care how much cursing it has in it or nudity cause cartoon nudity doesnt exactly get me going nor does cursing at everybody i think they did a fine job the way things are and for a newcomer to the cartoon they wont notice nor care what goes on in the japanese version of the show.

Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Then how did you get these numbers? are you saying only 1% are above six? Ok, ok. I was exaggerating. I'm just trying to say that the audience of English DBZ is really young and that's exactly the audience they're targetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 cause cartoon nudity DBZ isn't a "cartoon." Cartoons = Dextors Laboratory or Powderpuff Girls. DBZ = anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 to americans it's a cartoon im sure cartoons consist of things that make dbz one regardless of what the jap way of saying it is it looks just like every other cartoon therefor it is one.

devin2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Then you are just guessing that most viewer are young? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koto Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Anyone can clearly tell the difference between a cartoon and an anime. 1) The animation and drawing of anime series are a lot better. Even though DBZ is really old (like around 1985 old) and the animation/drawing is really bad compared to most anime series, everyone can tell a difference between DBZ and Dextors Laboratory. 2) Content. If you want to see something made for little kids, watch the Powderpuff Girls. If you want to see something a little more mature, then watch an anime. 3) Plot / Storyline. Anyone can tell that anime series tend to have more advanced plots/storylines than the average cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeza Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 either way it goes if you presented this to the "99%" of the little kids that watch the show they will see it as a cartoon and wont care what anime stands for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
