Akira is old, should we forget about that? How about Princess Mononoke or Cowboy Bebop. Although DBZ isn't as grand as the previously metioned, it introduced a lot of fans into anime. Not only that, but it was inspiration to other shows like One Piece and Naruto. Sure its old, but that doesn't lessen its impact at all.

Can't we be a little more civil? ^^;;
If you mean, the amounts of threads focused on dbz, and how people say it's the the best anime ever created...then yes. (is that a lil ironic considering my sn? XD) Though, I don't see why you created a thread that is basically to bash dbz. Even if it wasn't dbz, I dont think you should make these types of threads. Why does it bother you what other people like? If they wanna talk about dbz, then let them be, it shouldn't affect you. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, I'm just saying saying, again, people can like whatever they want, its their business and no one else's ~
*rolls eyes* if you dont liek it, who cares I presonally liek it. The first anime I coudl truly relate to. then followed anime like Yu Yu Hakusho, Evangelion and multiple others but yes DB/Z/GT ended a long time ago. But in my opininon he should make a big time movie or something. to sum up the series but point is DBZ rules

Frankly, I think Dragonball Z is garbage...as well as One Piece and Naruto.

I can understand why, as the story is often just an excuse to fight, but for those that don't mind the lack of story will find that DBZ set the standard for most violent shonen anime. Naruto is deeper in its characterizations which is probably one of the reasons its so popular. If you enjoy the characters it doesn't matter(too much) if the story is lame, but if you have a deep story with shallow lame characters that you can't relate to, its going suck the life out of the whole experiance. I can't defend One Piece because I don't know enough about it.

One piece has a phenomenal story, and is quite possible the best manga ever. If I remember correctly, it is currently the most highest selling manga ever surpassing the previous slam dunk.
The plot, characters, and development is great and it keeps getting better.
