Another anime that I just remembered being into as a child is Gundam Wing. I could never get into mobile suit gundam or any of the others, but Gundam Wing was one I always look forward to watching as I awoke from my nap after school.

I only breifly looked over all the post and correct me if I'm wrong but did no one mention Naruto or Naruto Shippuden? Other than Bleach thats what I'm watching right now and freaking love it. It starts off slow but gets better and in Shippuden it gets really good imo.

So thats how it ended in the Manga? Well then I prefer how it ended in the anime

Although the reason that happened is that when Goku died, fans of the show bitched and moan saying things like "You can't kill Goku! How can his son be stronger than him and Vegeta!?" And so on.

The creators main intention the whole time behind Gohan was building him up to that point in the Cell Saga then ending the series with Gohan continuing where his father left off. But the fan response forced him to create a new saga to "fix" things. I liked the Saga, not as much as the Android/Cell saga but it was good nonetheless.

Thats funny because I felt the same way, I wanted more to the story as well. I wanted to see Videl's and Gohans relationship to develop further than what saw.. It just kind of show them get close and then boom, Gohan was in the Kai's world. I wanted to see them go on a date or something. But yeah I enjoyed the Sayainman Saga.

I could never get into Naruto but I've wanted to try again though.

It gets better than Bleach imo. Like I said it starts off slow but it starts to pick up and by the time you get in shippuden it gets really good. Heres an amv of shippuden. (I tried to find one with the least amount of spoilers)

A lot of people hated that small Saiyaman Saga. The reason why the creator didn't flesh out the relationship of Gohan and Videl more is because he felt like he'd be bad at doing it. Which explains the relationships of every character. Which is pretty much funny because he was doing a good job at it. He just didn't have faith in his ability to add a romantic plot. That was his own saying.

They really fucked up DBZ for me when they released "Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends!!"

It was cool seeing new DBZ stuff but...come on giving vegeta a brother after so long, really?, the two enemies they face being complete bitchs, really? I wanted to see a hell of alot more action.

I only watched up to the pain v naruto ark, fucking epic I might add, but then they went into filler mode and I fell off on watching it, they still on it? Cause it's not to long till the 4th great ninja war ark.

I remember seeing that. But I don't count that as part of the continuity like I don't count GT. There were no Saiyans beyond Vegeta, Goku, Nappa, and Raditz after Freiza blew up their planet.

so no brolly?

**Taskmaster** · 05-24-2011, 06:18 PM

For every 30 anime series that come out there's usually only one good one.

The only good one in recent memory that I have is Gundam00 before it got bogged down with that stupid human robot storyline in season 2. Season 1 was perfection though.

I don't remember if he's really apart of the actual continuity of Dragon Ball. I'm almost sure that he was just a creation like Cooler.

He did a poor job at relationships in the past.. He never shows that the charcters truly love each other lol. But he was doing a good job with Gohan and Videl, he should have continued it.

The first Broly movie was absolutely gangsta. The second was cool, the third was just embarrassingly bad.

But that's the thing. Even then when he made Yamcha and Bulma into a couple because he doubted his ability in creating romance he just wrote it as "And this happened" Which explained Trunks funny enough. But also explains the relationship between Tien and Launch was odd because it really reflected the creators timidness in creating a romance between characters.

Good, I'll give it a shot.

I forgot to mention Death Note, but one of you did. Great plot.

Agreed, "We broke up", Launch just disappeared.. I would have loved Romance in DBZ.. There was never even a single kiss lol.
