"Dragon Ball is NOT a REAL anime"
If these words have ever escaped your mouth, contact me and I will personally send you a gun to shoot yourself in the head with. You can't get anymore real of an anime when the show you're talking about was animated in Japan, and based off a Japanese comic. You're not sounding smart, and you're not passing off any valuable information. You're only feeding the insane beliefs of moron otakus who think jacking off to hentai is one of the most enlightening things on the planet.

O.o On the point of the fan fics, I'm surprised no one mensioned this,
Fan Fictions are just that FICTION written by FANS so do not use these to back up your arguments, they have nothing to do with dragonball/z/gt other than the fact they were based on them.
Think that covers my rant, and some fan fiction is good but the insert self into SSJ12 Brolly Vs SSJ11 Goku (i think it was just filler but in one episode when goku is wearing the space suit, his name was spelt Gokuh, meh, should try getting a screen cap.

Having 5 or more top-site buttons on your site does not make your site any better
Reall. I find them to be rather annnoying and a waste of space. It's also just a lame way to get hits anyway. And it's also lame when you force people to vote for your site when you have what you claim 'full episodes' when they're a bnch of dead links. That's just plain cheating.

Here's one if it hasn't been already said...
"Do not create information and use it as a fact to fit your arguments."
For example, you shouldn't say Vegeta went Super Saiyan 2 before the whole Babidi thing in an argument like its valid information. Athough no one could prove he DIDN'T, since he never participated in a real fight until after being possessed, it's just NEVER mentioned. Thus, we should probably either ignore it entirely or just say he first reached it or first transformed in public upon possession and leave it at that. No one knows the answers to this and many other Dragonball questions, and chances are if you're in a discussion where something like this comes up, it's not a discussion WORTH having, anyway.

"In fact, the United States Alf Fanfiction Department has issued notices offering high paying jobs for more Alf fanfiction, which they believe could immediately resolve countless global issues such as world hunger."
How about...
Don't say Dragonball Sucked if you never watched the final three sagas of it
I can't tell you how many people say this to me that they love DBZ but hate Dragonball. Yet they only watched the Pilaf saga after watching DBZ and never gave the rest of it a chance. I love the later half of Dragonball more than any other part of the three series'.
And on the subject of Vegeta going Super Saiyan 2, I always assumed that his eagerness to fight Dabura in place of Gohan, and the fact that he verbally said that he and Goku both had long since surpassed the slacker Gohan was more than enough evidence to prove that he had already reached Super Saiyan 2. The Majin power up allowed him to reach the same level of power as a Super Saiyan 2 that Goku had and make thier match more even.
I mean hell, if someone said Gotenks never became Super Saiyan 3 until he wanted to escape from the Room of Spirit and Time you'd say that was bogus because they talked about thier "new Super Saiyan thingy" before Buu came into the room. You know they had to have already done it once before then during the training.
Some things are just common sense. Seven years went by, Gohan was an obstacle over Vegeta. You think he allowed that much time to go by and didn't even try to train and surpass the lad? He even claims that he had surpassed Gohan. I think it is and has always been obvious that he was already a Super Saiyan 2 before hand, but perhaps not much stronger than Gohan had been against Cell and thus why he allowed Babidi to control him to gain power enough to challenge Goku. I think the real arguement ought to be on someone to prove he wasn't. This is because there is sufficient evidence of verbal declarations and past history of likely character behaivor to more than justify such a claim of already being a Super Saiyan 2.

I don't think anybody said this one but:
Do not insult DBGT just because it's plot doesn't resemble DBZ.
So what if there wasn't a lot of action in it? So what if it was short? DBGT was one of the more contriversal shows of DB just because people didn't like the plot and couldn't deal with change. Dragon Ball GT was made to throw together Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Saying DBGT was the crappiest series out of all the 3 series doesn't make you a better fan.

Throwing in random Japanese words to show off your fandom doesn't make you "cool".
Has anybody else encountered this? At times when reading through certain sites, the webmaster/webmistress would sometimes throw in comments such as "That is so kawaii!" and/or "He is such a baka!" and even "[Insert Company Here] are all a bunch of bakas!"
So you're learning Japanese, that's cool. For example, I happen to speak French. It wouldn't make aucune sense if I suddenly just started to jeter quelques mots clés dans la phrase, since nobody would know what the hell I was talking about. Not to mention it makes me look rather stupid and condescending. Not to mention that if you actually don't know Japanese, and only those select words, that just makes you look even more ridiculous. Ne soyez pas un imbécile!
(Translation for our English-only audience:
aucune sense = any sense;
jeter quelques mots clés dans la phrase = to throw some keywords in the sentence;
Ne soyez pas un imbécile! = Don't be a fool!)

I actually think that's a good suggestion, putting something like "Stop making so many Vegeta and Trunks music videos with Crawling! It's been done already one thousand fold!" Is it just me, or should 90-98% music videos with rap music be re-done, or left in a cold little folder on your harddrive never to be found or uploaded to the internet EVER?! o___o;VegettoEX wrote:No, I understand completely... remember, I'm coming from the same exact type of community (anime music videos); there's plenty of people that can create an absolutely outstanding video, just as there are 500% more who can't throw something together worth shit.

[edit: May 2nd] Actually, I was holding off on suggesting this, since it's obvious, but now that I've seen today's update. . .
There is no Dragon Ball AF.
Your fake episodes list does not trill us. Your PaintShopPro'ed SSJ4 Gotenks does not impress us. We don't care if Piccolo and Yamcha fuse. It's over. Just stop.

What's scarier than a DBZ H-game?

I think what Blastero was trying to say there is that being one who owns FUNimation DVDs does not make one an "inferior" fan to those who have Dragonboxes or anything else. Everyone's free to their opinion but hating on others who experience the show diffrently (assuming its still done legally and not stolen), then it really shouldn't matter HOW you enjoyed it. At least thats my take on the same idea.

I actually am a dub inductee myself and I don't say that.
I WILL say that about Dragon BALL the second dub (or wsa it third, considering the Harmony Gold dub...) - the background music and the very well done acting with minimal edits in that dub WAS better then I'd hoped for.
As for DBZ/GT in terms of generating popularity its better then it should be but in terms of quality, I'm with you on that one
