Originally posted by llagrokI'm serious. I still like DBZ and recognize it for one of the gateway anime that it was. But I've also come to realize that it was developed off of an anime that was never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Dragon Ball was a comedic take on Journey to the west, and it was alot of fun to see the wu kong depicted that way...
Zing!
But the martial art that EVERYONE seems to use looks like nothing more than street brawling when they get up to the "super high speeds". The big thing about DBZ fighting came more from the different ways to fire ki projectiles. Basic punches, Basic kicks, knees elbows and 108 different ways to shoot ki.
That's basically what it boiled down to.
