I have only seen this cartoon once, last Friday when my BF dragged me to his friends house to watch it on DVD. I’ve never been big on cartoons, but I find myself oddly attracted to this one, and curious as to what will happen next. Are there any other fans of this cartoon, or is just my crazy BF and his friend?

Nope, there are thousands of DBZ fans. Do a search on the board for “Dragon Ball Z”, I think we had 6 threads already on the subject.

IMO, _Dragon Ball Z_ is crap. All it is are dragged out fights, endless yelling, exploding mountains and confusing storylines dragged out over a hundred episodes.

However, the original _Dragon Ball_ is better and probably one of the best cartoons out there.
