| First thing first: I do not hate DBZ, nor do I specifically enjoy or like it by much. But I've heard people claim that the original Japanese version of the series is much better in every aspect compared to our American port and what Toonami airs. Is it true? Do you even care? I'm in the belief that sure, maybe it has more blood, more cussing, than what we get dubbed and edited here, but is it still even worth checking out if you've seen the majority of the original, and have basically lost interest in the series? |

To no offense Kjouji ... but whenever I glance or look at your avatar I think of DBZ.  |

Ah thanks for showing me, now that I know where it's from I probably won't think that anymore.  |

I heard there was supposed to be some crazy sex scene between Bulma and Vegeta in the Japanese version of DBZ. Supposedly nothing more than two figures bumping and groaning under a blanket with a tuft of blue hair poking out.  |

Originally posted by Melvin You heard correct Melvin. That was in one of the episodes where Vegeta is living at Capsule Corp and training in the gravity chamber. It was pretty hilarious. The Japanese version of DBZ has alot of blood and cussing. Which is better becuase when people fight to the death Im pretty sure they would bleed and cuss from time to time. Other than that the music is different, to me its sounds like something youd only hear in the 80s in Japan. I kinda like it though. Im no purist though so I prefer to watch it in English I dont really think the voice acting is really all that bad...sure its corny at times but thats what makes it DBZ. |

The japanese version is 291 episode long. Anyone know how long the American port was? Any my friend obtained all 291 episodes--it is a 60GB download  over 4 torrents...(edited by neotransotaku on 01-20-05 03:55 PM) |

| If it wasnt for DBZ I might have never even gotten into Anime. When I found out CN:Toonami had DBZ I got cable ASAP, and from there I started watching all types of Anime. Im 80% sure a live action movie will stuck, but youd better believe that ill be there on the first to watch it. (edited by Sion on 01-21-05 03:08 PM) |

| Only 80%? I'm a 110% sure it would suck, more than an Eva live action film. I can't really say I owe my anime craze to DBZ ... I actually started off with Transformers, Voltron, and weird stuff like that.  |

| hmm...how about this road to liking anime: Sailor Moon, Ah! My Goddess, Love Hina, Vandread... Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors) and DB/DBZ made a few appearances but not that much of an influence until after Vandread | |||

| Yeah, I started with Sailor Moon too. I mainly watched it because of those demons. I have Love Hina on my computer. I have Full Metal Alchemist. |

| Well, a lot of series are generally a little better in their unedited, Japanese format, if it even is as little a thing as better voice acting and translation However, I find it hard to believe that Dragonball Z could be significantly better because of it.  As for what got me into anime, I used to like a bit of Sailor Moon and stuff, but I wasn't a huge fan. Neon Genesis Evangelion is what got me into anime. |

| DBZ uncut just has funnier dialogue and a little more cursing. The blood upping is minor, not like Fist of the Northstar at all (someone I know always makes the connection). It is still just as crappy as it was before. Now, Robotech (The Macross Saga) is a show that kicks ass dubbed, uncut or subbed. |

| The level of blood in Fist of The North Star makes Akira look like Seseme Street. I watched FoTNS with those red and blue 3d glasses, the exposions were so cool!! |
