I'm with you. Sorakitty looks alright to me. And contrary to popular belief, DBZ DOES have a plot. It's just that it's something like 90% action to 10% plot, so you have to watch a dozen episodes in a row to actually see any of it. Most people watch two or three, and either decide they like the action and keep watching, or decide that it's ALL action and leave in disgust, never finding that hidden 10%. |

Actuyally DBZ from my viewpoint is 10% plot, 10% action and then 80% pointless expisition on the action. "I think I can make it to the next power level.... remember how hard I worked.... Hey I did" is like a 6 episode arc |

Point. I kinda grouped that into the 'action' category since it was action related and really had nothing to do with the plot. I mean, I'm sorry... but Goku spending three episodes GRUNTING (no exaggeration) is not plot. What he was fighting for might have had something to do with a story, but they couldn't interrupt the grunting to deal with any of THAT... |

Ah, yes... that is one of the best comics ever. It seriously sent me into an asthma attack I was laughing so hard at some of it. I know Forever Zero and I have used a couple of images from it before. One of the problems with Dragonball Z's plot is it has a tendency to contradict itself. In the Frieza Saga, that short red dude tells Vegita it was Frieza who killed off all the sayians and their planet, and Vegita's reaction is "OMFG!" Later, they have a flashback where Vegita, Raditz, and uh... the bald dude are still working for Freiza, and one of them says "I heard it was Frieza who blew up our home worlds and totally extinct'd us!", and Vegita says "Shut up, I already know that." That, and when they have Vegita blow up a plaent waaaay earlier in the series, then Freiza at 'OMG FULL POWAR!' can't blow up Namek. I still enjoy the series, mind you. It's a good source of mindless violence and neat explosions, but things like that do make it harder to fully enjoy. |

There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote. Everyday I'm tumbl'n. "This bitch is makin' me all Paru..." ~Hang in There, Kogasa-san! | |

In all fairness, Namek was supposed to be, like, the size of Jupiter. Larger things are harder to blow up. I think it's sad how even Vegeta of the Saiyan Saga could blow up a planet, yet every time the villain does it, everyone treats it like, "OMIGOD HE'S SO POWERFUL!!!" ~_~ And I didn't like how every villain was "the most powerful being in the universe, even more powerful than [previous villain]". |

With the planet destruction stuff, I always interpreted the reaction more like "OMIGOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE IF WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE!". As for all new villains being stronger than the previous ones, Babidi's thugs were weaker than Cell, with the exception of Dabura who was on par with Cell. And Buu at the end of the series was technically weaker than the previous forms since he lacked any of the absorptions, but it just didn't look that way since he was more psychotic... |

Yes, but even so, every villain, they actually make a point of bringing it up. Frieza - "He's the most powerful being in the universe!" Cell - "He's MORE powerful than Frieza!" Buu - "He's MORE powerful than Cell!" General Rilldo - "He's MORE powerful than Majin Buu!" And so on. It's kinda boring how every villain is the most powerful being in the universe until the next one. |

I first stumbled on that comic years ago, and it still makes me burst out laughing reading it... And the images aren't NSFW, but the speech probably could be, so don't let your boss sneak up on you and read over your shoulder... And I actually sorta like DBZ. It's not the best show in the world, but there is entertainment to be had there... |

Yes, DBZ is at it's best between fights I think. In fact, I think it was best when it was little Goku on a quest for the Dragon Balls before Z. |
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.
