Even to this day BD still inspires me

DBZ obviously. Male entertainment is so much better than female entertainment. We want to train until we reach a higher level of existence while girls are watching "Bratz"

Rambo was the first movie I ever saw. Stallone is up there with Arnie as my inspiration/idols.

bowl haircut wasn't common between vikings? That would make sense since He-man is basically sci-fi kid-friendly Conan

The female parallel to the DBZ generation would Be Sailor Moon.

Bratz was from the mid 00s, so the male equivalent to that would be Ben 10 or something.

>tfw never watched anything related to Dragon Ball

it looks really cool, but im so far behind and i have no idea where to even start. pls help

>>40956865
Dragon ball z
Fuck dragon ball

>>40956897
wait, whats the difference? i thought it was the same thing

>>40956865
Start by watching dragon ball. Then if you want, dragon ball z and dragon ball super. Good intro to this type of anime. I would hit hunter x hunter (2011) also

>>40956924
Dragon ball is about goku as a child
DBZ is about him as an adult

>>40956897
They're both good. Plus some stuff that happens in dragon ball carries over to dbz. You won't know what's going on with some of the shit if you don't watch db first

>>40956927
i just wanna watch all the cool fights and shit tbqh, will it take a long time to get through dragon ball? is it just filler?

>>40956137
Gotta get dem maximum gainz anon

Dragon ball isn't a bad show but DBZ is where everything gets hype as fuck
So I would suggest skipping DB

Say wut

>>40956708
AWAKEN MY MASTER

>>40956970
dbz is a hype battle royale, db is a fun adventure. They're both good in their own way.

>>40956970
am i going to miss a ton of plot points by skipping DB, or will i be able to understand DBZ by itself?

>>40956998
DBZ has obviously characters from DB but DBZ has its own story

>>40956173
>god from universe 2
Would berry my duck in

>>40956998
To be fair I think most of the fans barely watched the classic series, most of then don't even know that Piccolo was a villain in the classic series

>>40956951
I mean db is kind of a long series, but I guess it's not totally necessary to watch. Try a couple episodes of dragon ball and decide for yourself.

>>40956971
Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura were the popular anime among teen girls at the same time as DBZ. Those teen girls are in their late 20s now, the same demographic as the guys that watched DBZ

>>40956998
There's honestly no reason to watch DB.
Anyone who tells you it's required or even superior more then likely hasn't watched it themselves and are just desperate to prove how elite they are.

>>40957048
Ah I missed the part where you said generation. You are correct

>>40956173
How pathetic. Poor DB fans.

>>40957051
The bad thing about DBZ is that the pacing is extremely slow, it's not bad when you watch weekly as a child, but binge watching as an adult can be exaustive as hell

>>40957185
True.

Also, no #wejawesome here? Sharks were diesel as fuark.

>>40956173
Toriyama has a thing for the skinny-but-super-strong shit just like all the rest of Japan. Big guys aren't in fashion anymore. The biggest guy I've seen to date in anime is All Might, who just so happens to be an American wet dream of a superhero.

Well, the strongest ningen warrior of all 12 universes is this ayy lmao and he is fit as hell, my bet is that the gods of destruction can change into a more badass form when they fight at 100% like most of the dbz villains

>>40956998
The only people who have watched Dragon Ball are the weebs and the japs. Nobody who grew up on DBZ has actually seen DB because you don't have to.

>>40957462
DB only became good in the red ribbon arc when some serious shit starts happening, more precisely in Goku's fight with Tao Pai Pai

>>40957463
I don't think he's the strongest. He's the strongest from the universe with the highest mortal level, but mortal level doesn't mean strength. It has to do with how developed civilization is, how much life there actually is, how peaceful everything is, and so on. The strongest fighter might actually be from Universe 5. We won't know for another 30 episodes until the tournament starts.

>>40957463
Jackie Chun was a pretty strong guy himself, wonder whatever happened to him.

>>40957506
Since it's confirmed that Jiren Vs Goku is the endgame of the tournament it's pretty obvious that he is the most powerful, I mean, Toppo is a candidate to become a god of destruction and he stated that he is nothing compared to Jiren

Megalith (old comic) I remember reading how he lifted calfs when he was young and as he grew up worked his way to lifting a full cow. I thought that was a great idea.
