1. DBZ was my intro to anime as an older kid - I watched voltron, ulysses 31, tranzor z, transformers, etc. as a kid, but that was all I had seen until I was about 17 and a local station started showing dbz. the action was fast paced and it made me search for more anime.
2. back in 98, I was given the nickname "trunks" by some guys I trained with, cuz I have legs like tree trunks. Trunks happens to beone of my favorite dbz characters...
3. now, my son loves dbz.
4. the idea of following a character from childhood, to death, to the life of his children was new in an animated series. PLENTY of time for character development and such.
There are shows I like better than DBZ, like cowboy bebop, but since I've been collecting dbz stuff for all these years, why stop?
Have you ever checked out cowboy bebop or fooly cooly? I bet you'd like those. Maybe even twilight of the cockroaches
