I didn't grow up on DBZ and I'm a bigger anime fan than most people.

I grew up on Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, Yugioh, and Cardcaptor Sakura. As well as other shows like Power Rangers and Beast Wars. Beast Wars is probably the best non-anime show ever.

NKB... you like hurting Safari users, don't you?

Anyway, I love Dragon Ball. At least, I like the manga more than the anime.
I have fond memories of the anime but due to how stretched out it is, it's hard to rewatch it at times.

And yes, Dragon Ball did get me into manga and anime.

SCOTU compares DBZ to sex

The next time you want to have sex, instead of actually having sex, just stand there and stare at each other for 2 hours, and then do a bit of foreplay, and then go back to staring at each other, and then say how much you love filler.

Dragon ball Z is super important.

It's what 90% of people who were never into anime at all grew up on, and what the 10% or so of us who got more into it started on :D

I grew up on Galaxy Angels, Sailor Moon, Saiyuki, Captain Tsubasa, Chobits, Love Hina, Pokemon, and Digimon (and some Gundam Wing and Conan).

Oh, and Kamen Rider.

I never knew nor cared for DBZ until mid 2005, loli.

Basically, I'm trying to say that that statement is false and that I grew up on rabu-rabu animu. (with action)

This is about the same for me, just throw in some Ronin Warriors and Evangelion.

*remembers The Midnight Run*
I felt like such a bad *** for staying up late to watch The Midnight Run.

The reason why Dragon Ball was my first anime was because I never moved back to the US until I was in the second half of first grade. I didn't know Japanese, French, Italian, and etc. so it was pretty easy for me to follow the story obviously. Other anime I watched were Speed Racer, Captain Tsubasa, and some random other stuff that I couldn't understand.

I never watched Sailor Moon and there weren't that many other anime before Pokemon in the US that I can really remember.
I did watch stuff like Samurai Pizza Cats though. :laugh:

I watched Dragon Ball in random order though. I went from Vegeta to Buu to the first Tenkaichi, and so forth.
Classic DB still beats Z in my book. Regardless of how stretched out they were still.

Samurai Pizza Cats was a Tatsunoko production that got localized into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-like show.

I remember watching Ronin Warriors when it was on a public station.
I thought that it was pretty cool at the time.

Toonami was great also. First shows I watched on that were Dragon Ball and Gundam Wing.
I remember playing Gundam Wing Endless Duel on my computer without knowing anything about Gundam. A month later I see it on Toonami. Even though I liked Wing, looking back on it, it wasn't that great. It had it's moments, but still. G Gundam was awesome though. It was totally underrated. 08th MS teams was amazing. So was the original Gundam. I was mad that it got cancelled due to a certain event happening. :(
Rurouni Kenshin was amazing too.

I think a lot of people watched Toonami. That was practically one of the few ways to watch anime at the time (without buying VHS tapes lol)

this is the best way to put what the few of us saying that were trying to say, lol

I know, for me at least, that putting my feet in the water and finding out what anime was like for the first time was great...kinda wish that could happen again, I just need the time and motivation to start a few series i've been planning to watch.

I never had Toonami because we didn't have Satellite or Cable until I was 14 or something :(

Luckily though the local video rental shop had a decent anime section. Watched all of Trigun, Bebop and Slayers from there.

I was in the same situation since I didn't get cable until middle school. I only had access when I went to California during the long breaks in school. Other than that, I would ask my friend to record the things I wanted on Toonami for me.

[color="#66666ff"]I like the English VAs for the most part in Gundam Wing. I do like Hikaru Midorikawa as Heero though, so I like to flip flop at times.[/color]

And this is what I mean by for the most part. Her voice outside of those scenes were pretty good though, I thought.
I should rewatch Wing again.

And for those who never got the chance to watch Toonami or Adult Swim, you guys missed out on some good anime (unless you watched the anime elsewhere afterwards).

Also, some K-ON!! news. They revealed some info for the OP and ED.

OP: GO! GO! MANIAC, with Hirasawa Yui (Toyosaki Aki) on lead
ED: Listen!!, with Akiyama Mio (Hikasa Youko) on Lead

I liked the OP and ED animations in K-ON! so I hope the new ones don't disappoint.
That goes for the songs as well.

EDIT: The title for the OP and ED have 2 exclamation marks each. In b4, OMG the people at Kyo-Ani are geniuses!!

It's too bad that "don't say 'lazy'" didn't have an exclamation mark; "Cageyake!GIRLS" did, so it would have been cool if it was like that from the beginning.
