<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I'm so tired of hearing people ragging on DBZ now that it's finally gained popularity in the US. You act like you know DBZ because you're watching it nearly TWO decades after it's creation in the midst of the biggest anime explosion this country has ever known. Name a single anime series made in 1986 or before that could possibly stand alone against current anime standards....I'm waiting...what? Lupin III? Ok, then what? Ronin Warriors?

What you don't realize while you're prancing about, waving around your ridiculously short-sighted opinion is that DBZ basically <I>defined</i> the contemporary anime action genre. Without DBZ you don't <I>have</i> action anime as we know it. Have some guy watch a Hitchcock movie today and he'd probably call it boring, he'd probably call the acting cheesy, he'd probably call the special effects ridiculous - but that's because he's living in a culture which has taken Hitchcock's directorial genius and expounded upon it, redeveloped it, and improved the technology that originally made his films. Right now, <I>you're</i> that guy. And, honestly, if you don't like the show I don't care. I don't particularly like watching Hitchcock's films myself for the same reasons - but, at the same time, it's impossible to deny that he was a great and highly influential director. When you make the claim that DBZ is "the worst excuse for an anime ever" it merely belies the untold depths of ignorance churning beneath the surface of the stagnant pool that is your mind.</div>
