DBZ is to anime like Spam is to meat, pointless and nasty.
If you want good action oriented anime, you watch Rurouni Kenshin. There\'s PLENTY of action in their movies and the series along with lots of great comedy as well. Additionaly, each episode has meaning, not the usual DBZ horse manuer they call an episode that goes something like this:
"Hraarrrrgggg!!! I will be the most powerful ever by powering up for a long time by grunting and! HUWARRRGGGGG!!!"
"No, I willl be more powerful with an even louder grunt and an even manlier stance! HUWARRGGGGGGGGG!!!!"
*54 tons of rocks chatter into smitherines*
"Next time on Dragonball Z... they power up some more while other people watch from far away and make hilarious comments while going utterly insane... Tune in Next week."
What a load of crap. I\'m so sick of that show. Goku vs Frieza, the most drawn out 5-minute battle I have ever seen.
