My black friends on facebook still talk and joke about Dragonball Z more than the rest of my friends. That's cool and all. I like to reminisce about DBZ as much as the next guy. But why that particular show? Any other anime show has an almost exclusively white/asian fanbase.

Like any other anime.

The reasons:

Its badass
Piccolo is black
It came on a popular station right after school

It was an action-packed, male-targeted cartoon that aired on a widely available channel shortly after kids would get home from school.

It was my gateway anime. Sure I watched Voltron all the time as a kid but that was so poorly done it was mostly a joke lol.

Because so many of us watched it that it's pretty much the only anime you can openly talk about without looking like a mega nerd. DBZ is socially acceptable. Naruto/Bleach/Gundham etc. is not.
