Wow DBZ, now that is a series that brings back memories. I remember my brother and I use to import the anime in raw japanese as they came out in Japan 12 years ago. Beleive me nothing describes a true FAN-BOY better than sitting in front of the tv adjusting the color and doing a manual track on the vcr just to barely make out the characters. On top of that we paying 15 bucks for 4 episodes. Now I agree it may not be the best show, but everyone here and all anime fans in America ,for that matter, have to be greatful for that series (specialy when it started airing on Cartoon Network). Why? because it made my anime and yours cheaper, thats why. Before the days of cartoon network or just anime on mainstream television for that matter, I remember paying $34.95 for a dubbed anime and sometimes $39.95 for a subtitled video. Now you can find them on dvd for 20 bucks or less for 4 to 5 episodes (unless your company name is VIZ). Or you can come here and get the R1 rips. So, although they were not the best anime series, I have much props to give to anime like: Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and ohh yeah the mighty DBZ.
