The DBZ anime is only VERY LOOSELY based on the second half of the manga. So loosely, in fact, that it can barely be considered in the same series. Very tastelessly done.GloatingSwine said:Remember that there was no distinction in the manga, and the only difference is that there was a different name for the new season when they started animating the Freiza arc.Chibz said:Let's not forget that DBZ is just the mutant, horrible offspring of the original Dragon Ball.Unborn023 said:great point... but fuck at least its better than bleach
fucking DBZ wannabe
The point is true though. No matter what ideals a shonen manga writer has when he or she starts writing, once it gets fed into the giant shonen manga sausage machine, what comes out the other end is Dragonball.
And yes, every shonen manga comes out DBZ.
