Kitt 01/29/21 12:49:44 PM #1:	I mean, it's not outstanding or anything but it's definitely better than DBZ. The majority of it is an adventure-a-week type show that have the benefit of follow a much smaller cast of character, making the whole thing feel a lot more focused overall. It reminds me of the original Dragonball series in that way. Meanwhile, Z is extra bloated, it feels like the writers are going entirely by ear with the story arcs and not to mention all the side characters that the show itself constantly forgets about. Is this just a case of "The original guy didn't work on it, therefore, it's automatically bad"? --- Come back in ten years. https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/p6Wfowq <cite>Kitt posted [p:950054853] in Why is Dra...

gamer167 01/29/21 1:09:44 PM #12:	It had some awesome ideas imo. They at least tried to weaken Goku to scale back the insane power creep that plagued the series. I liked the idea of Shadow Dragons and their creation being a consequence of the Z fighters overusing the DB's over the entire series. I liked they idea of the Tuffles trying to get revenge on the Saiyans for committing genocide on them. Personally I also loved SSJ4. The idea of a transformation that harnesses the power of and draws design inspiration from the Oozaru form was an awesome idea compared to the "new power = different hair" formula the rest of the series uses. I completely understand why people hate the series though, it just wasn't executed well. <cite>gamer167 posted [p:950055514] in Why is Dra...

Shadowplay 01/29/21 1:58:22 PM #34:	Crono99 posted... The main thing is that other people wrote the story. It's not adapted from Toriyama's manga, it's an original creation for TV. Right away this puts some people off. Also the beginning of GT is very silly and it takes some time before a real villain shows up. All in all though I think GT is solid.

The Popo 01/29/21 3:09:39 PM #39:	ViewtifulGrave posted... DBZ isnt a sequel. Toei just added the Z because they thought it sounded cool. The manga is called Dragon Ball from start to finish. https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/son-goku-densetsu-toriyama-x-nakatsuru/ This is part of an interview from the Son Goku Densetsu with Akira Toriyama and Katsuyoshi Nakatsura (one of Toriyamas animators) in which they discuss the reason for the Z being added: Sensei, I heard that you were responsible for suggesting the title Dragon Ball Z. Toriyama: Ah, thats right. Rumor has it that you titled it after an energy supplement with Z in the name. Toriyama: Thats not true~. (laughs) Z is the last letter of the alphabet, right? Anyhow, from that time, I really already wanted to end the comic, (laughs) so I gave the title a Z with the meaning of thats all, folks~. I dont remember saying a single thing about there being an energy supplement. Rumors can be so wild. (laughs) Nakatsuru: Did you have any image of something other than the Z? Toriyama: No, I probably didnt. I myself thought, they dont really have to change the title, do they? but someone from the anime staff demanded it, saying we want to freshen it up, so I was just sort of like, this should be fine. Nakatsuru: Dragon Ball ends right with Goku getting married, then Dragon Ball Zstarts with Gokus older brother Raditz arriving. Toriyama: Wow, is that so? So it made a perfect dividing point, then. *Thats [over] a decade ago, and you never realized it? (laughs)* Toriyama: Hahaha.

The manga is called Dragon Ball from start to finish.</quote> https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/son-goku-densetsu-toriyama-x-nakatsuru/ This is part of an interview from the Son Goku Densetsu with Akira Toriyama and Katsuyoshi Nakatsura (one of Toriyamas animators) in which they discuss the reason for the Z being added: <quote>Sensei, I heard that you were responsible for suggesting the title Dragon Ball Z. Toriyama: Ah, thats right. Rumor has it that you titled it after an energy supplement with Z in the name. Toriyama: Thats not true~. (laughs) Z is the last letter of the alphabet, right? Anyhow, from that time, I really already wanted to end the comic, (laughs) so I gave the title a Z with the meaning of thats all, folks~. I dont remember saying a single thing about there being an energy supplement. Rumors can be so wild. (laughs) Nakatsuru: Did you have any image of something other than the Z? Toriyama: No, I probably didnt. I myself thought, they dont really have to change the title, do they? but someone from the anime staff demanded it, saying we want to freshen it up, so I was just sort of like, this should be fine.
