You know starman they do that with books turned into movies sometimes too. They say "The book was better."

I've always been a DBZ fan, personally. For me, it's always been the characters that have drawn me in. For instance, Vegeta fits the archtype of villain-turned-hero, but with a twist: he never completely converts to the "good side." There are always hints or shadows that, yeah, he's evil, and probably always will be. Plus he's not the annoying guy whining about the crimes he's commited and wanting atonement, which is a plus. Also, the fight scenes can be quite amazing, when they don't last for ten episodes at a time.

But like most people are saying, that's just me. Like any other television series or movie, everyone has their own personal taste. If someone chooses not to like something because it's popular or mainstream, then they have issues extending far beyond personal preference of anime. ;P I'm not a huge fan of One Piece, but I know plenty of people who love it. What the hell gives me the right to get on their case because it's becoming (semi) popular on Fox Box?

I like DBZ, and Digimon, and Naruto, and I'll be damned if I have some anime snob look down on me because of it.

Probably the reason why people hate "popular" shows like DBZ and Pokemon is because these are shows that started off great, but were then messed up when the producers decided to change the show to cater to the masses in order to make them more popular, i.e. easier for the casual fan to swallow.


Isn't this exactly what's happening to Stream right now?

So what do you think?


I think that every fandom is elitist like this. Can you honestly say that you think that the majority of the community likes Pokemon more than Rockman?
