Awesome. Welcome you guys! :DDDD

Currently, I'd have to say that my favorite character is Goku. I'm now watching the entire DB series from Dragon Ball to DBGT, and even though I'm only on episode 31 of DB (lol) little Goku is just awesome. From his never-ending hunger to his powerful moves, Goku rocks.
and I can't wait until I get to hear...it's over 9000!

What does the scouter say Vegetta?

I'm joining! Jackie Chun says 'Peace! xD;
I grew up on Dragon Ball, and still love it. All three series are great, but I consider the original to be the best, with GT following behind.

Who is your favorite character and why?
My favourite character is Goku. I mean, he's the perfect main character! He's Funny, Cheerful, has a strong sense of Justice, etc.
That last episode of GT made me like him even more. And that GT special!
Don't like Goku JR. that much, though. xD;

I miss growing up and seeing DBZ on Toonami. ;_; I'm sure most of us do.
Yes. I don't know whythey stopped Toonami. Almost everybody I talk to has no clue what Toonami is. :(

omg I know. D: Toonami was the last good thing CN had going for them at the time near it's ending. (Excuse me for becoming a bit off-topic, but anything around 04-05~ish Cartoon Network was amazing. The commercial bumps, the shows, etc. As a kid growing up during that era, it made me have my best summer ever.)

It's kind of sad that there's no anime channel or anything they could have stuff like DB on. (I think they have a Funimation channel somewhere, but IDK what it has)
Speaking of which, how many of you are watching/rewatching DB currently? :D

Yeah. CN really doesnt have anymore good shows. The shows they have on our stange, expecially the cartoons..

Yeah, that's true. I think its in the UK or something and I think DB is on it.
No, but I want to start rewatching it.

Who is your favorite character and why?
Kakarot/Goku - Not only is he the main character/protagonist character, but I loved his carefree attitude in DB and his determination to become better, and strive through main challenges in battle even if the opponent initially appears stronger. Vegeta and Master Roshi come in second I love Vegeta arrogant attitude and pure intensity, if anyone has a passion and fights with passion it is definitely Vegeta. Master Roshi I loved him in Dragon Ball and his preverted comic relief, and then when he went incognito as Jackie Chun to gauge the potential of his students.

As for CN I agree Toonami and CN were great back then, now the only time I care to watch is the Bleach, Kekkaishi, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Adult, Big O Swim line up.

I don't think there is Funimation Channel where I live(US) although I wish there was.

As for what I have watched recently I started my Season 4 of the Remaster Z. I ran through Garlic Jr. Saga and now the Trunks/Android Saga is what I watched today where Trunks manhandled Frieza & King Cold then informed Goku of the Androids and his impending disease.

Welcome Kenshin5. ^^ Master Roshi may be perverted but he's an excellent teacher.

I don't really watch Adult Swim. Usually only for Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach and Kekkashi(sp?).

I thought I heard somewhere that its in the Uk, but I'm not sure if that's right....

Seemed kind of lazy when it came to teaching Goku and Krillin though. He took the approach of having real world experiences teach them life lessons and have the two learn from that. Heck they had to through several task just to receive training in the first place.

I thought it was in Canada or something...or maybe that was Jetix? Although Jetix was here too...IDK. xD

Another thing, guys. Have you ever noticed the extreme similarities between Naruto (if you have seen it) and Dragon Ball? I know that Kishimoto was inspired by Toriyama, but jeez. Look at these:
Rock Lee's Drunken Fist = Jackie Chun's Drunken Fist
Master Roshi can be seen as a parallel to Jiraiya
Naruto transforms into Nine-Tailed Fox, Goku transforms into Ape, etc.

So, have any of you noticed these similarities, or any others that I haven't mentioned?

I really wouldn't attribute all those parallels directly from DBZ. Dragon Ball Z also draws from other things. Jackie Chun is a parallel to Jackie Chan only the u and a are different. Jackie Chan stared in the movie Drunken Master, which also featured drunken boxxing. Yeah Master Roshi parallels Jiraiya, they are both mentor figures, this is common place in many stories for thousands of years where the protagonist is supported by a mentor.

Jetix is now Disney XD, which shows Kai.

Oh man, a Dragonball club. I must join!

My favourite character? I like Gohan, Cell, and Piccolo. The order changes XD.

I like Gohan because I really grew up watching Dragonball Z. As a kid, I liked to watched the young boy being the hero. I absolutely loved the Cell saga because of this. Not to mention, we see how he grows up from the beginning to the end of the series. He's just an awesome character.
I like Cell because he's an awesome villain. He's strong and powerful, his personality is so cocky and arrogant, the whole thing was just a game to him. Not to mention, he's a freaking robot. I love robots lol.
And Piccolo. The first proper villain that some say is the point where the whole Dragonball series changes from light-hearted, comedic with some fighting, to generally quite sci-fi, with a much more major focus on the fighting. Plus, he's a freaking demon. And the way that his own character develops into a father figure for Gohan... He really is the first "proper villain" that becomes a good guy.
YOU JUST LOST THE GAME!

Can I join? Hurray another Gohan fan, he's my favorite too I love how sweet he is. Like some one said you really watch him grow, from a baby to a kid to a teen to an adult and you even see that he has a kid himself at the end of Z. I loved his friendship he had with Krillin and Piccolo, funny enough no one else had what Gohan had, he even got to train hard with his dad. Yah the Cell games were the best, showed how awesome he truly is.

I'd like to join the Dragon Ball Fan Club.
I also grew watching the series on Toonami, which I greatly miss. :/

I'd have to say that my favorite character is probably Trunks, more so Future Trunks.
I just though he was a genuine bad-ass!
He appears and pwns Frieza by slicing him in half with a broad sword. 8D
Present Trunks is pretty cool too, but I don't think he could match up to Future Trunks.

omg I know. D: Toonami was the last good thing CN had going for them at the time near it's ending. (Excuse me for becoming a bit off-topic, but anything around 04-05~ish Cartoon Network was amazing.

Speaking of which, how many of you are watching/rewatching DB currently? :D
I remember seeing a Funimation channel when I went over to my aunt's ex-boyfriend's place.
But he had satellite. I think only certain carriers provide the channel, if you pay for that package.

Another thing, guys. Have you ever noticed the extreme similarities between Naruto (if you have seen it) and Dragon Ball? I know that Kishimoto was inspired by Toriyama, but jeez. Look at these:
Rock Lee's Drunken Fist = Jackie Chun's Drunken Fist

Well I think there's a parallel between Jiraiya and Master Roshi more so because they're both hermits, and both perverted. xD

I was considering watching Kai after I'm done with the whole series, but IDK. It might be kind of redundant.
What is Kai about, I never got into it that much.
Is it just a revisit of the original DBZ series?

Kai is just a reanimation of the series, that cuts out most filler (Supposedly. From some comparisons I've seen, any episode endings try to match with episode endings of the original anime, as opposed to episode endings of the manga). If I remember right, some animation is changed (like explosions), sounds are rerecorded, as are all the voices (which means that any seiyuus that passed away- iirc, Tien and the Ox King- are recorded using replacements) and I think it has a whole new musical score (don't hold me on that, though). And its recensored, so less blood and stuff.

But, of course, I focus mainly on the negatives. It's something that if you watched DBZ as a kid, I suggest watching Kai to visit all those old memories again. Then again, I kind of stopped watching after a dozen or so episodes lol.
