Wonderful character development!

What makes it different from others?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

And that is saying alot. This show is about as intelligent to watch as say watching paint dry, but at least watching paint dry isn't as annoying. The animation is bad, the voices are annoying beyond belief, and the plot is like watching a Street Fighter game, there is no plot other than to annoy people in its idiocy. Its like a little kids show except for the violence. The only reason I have ever even seen the show is cuz sometimes I am forced to watch this dreadful piece of garbage. Scale from 1 - 10, I give it a ZERO, and thats WAY higher than it deserves. People who's intelligence is about the same as someone who likes Teletubbies or Barney might enjoy this drivel.

I was going to write a huge long comment on this, but a lot of people really seem to hate this show so I just can't be bothered preaching to the unconvertable. I will say, however, I am a big fan of anime and this is one of my favourites. It's certainly my favourite anime TV series. People don't seem to realise that this is for kids, so screw the voice acting (which is better than many other kids shows) and animation (which is also better than many other kids shows). Comparing this to serious anime like Akira is like comparing He-Man to Gladiator. DBZ is light on the brain and heavy on the adrenal gland. Once you get into it it becomes very addictive, and your imagination covers over any bad acting or animation. Unless you have no imagination... Watch it from the beginning and just let yourself get sucked in to the amazing fights and ever increasing displays of power.

Now, when I first saw this show advertised on Cartoon Network, I was like, "This is so stupid". But I really forgave the show, and after I started becoming more involved and learning about the plot, I have come to the conclusion that this is an enjoyable show. The thing is, in order to like it, you need to learn to accept the "alternate-world" to enjoy it. And yes, a lot of people are right. The fights last for many episodes, and the villians never seem to die, and such. But there's so many complex characters all with different backgrounds and personalites, that you kind of forget it. I mean, if you want to see an anime with repetiveness and confusion, see that dang "Yu-Gi-Oh!".With the arrogance of Vegeta, the smart-aleckyness of Trunks and Goten, and the funny child-like character of Mr. Buu/Fat Buu, it's quite enjoyable. The villians are cool, and it's nice when they find a villian that's really so evil they're entertaining.(especially Babidi, he's such a wicked little troll^_^?) Although I was wondering how many times they would have Vegeta become GOOD before he actually BECAME GOOD, he is indeed one of the finest characters. I'm glad they did alot with him, though I wished they'd do more, such as tell how he married Bulma. Anyway, try to catch it. "Dragonball GT" sounds stupid, but I'll have to watch it sometime. An 8/10.

I love this show...very fast paced and entertaining. I don't mind the English dub either, because Goku sounds a lot better in the English version than he does in the Japanese (I think he is dubbed by a gal). This show is basically one long story with five chapters...1) the Saiyans, 2) Frieza, 3) Garlic Jr., 4) Cell, and 5) Buu. Each one has its good points though Garlic is short and the weakest. The reason I say they should have ended with this one though is that I have read the plot for GT and it just doesn't sound like it belongs. This show focuses mainly on Goku as he must train and train to overcome evil in many forms. One person said there is no plot, but I disagree. I like most anime, but the plots are sometimes very confusing, this is actually one of the easier animes to follow. Though if you are a fan of the show you will notice how some of the characters from the original Dragonball are just phased out more and more as this one progresses. This one was more fighting, while DB was more comedy and GT is a combo of both.
