Dragonball Z is one of the most popular anime in the world reaching several countries including Japan, America, Greece, Spain, Canada, and many others. This automaticly turned off some people to the series. Then, the plot wasn't so good, so people hated it more. It was a return to Dragonball's genre with Goku and his comrades seeking the Dragonballs, but with a slightly different twist. Later, the series changed tracks and went back to the fighting genre of Dragonball Z. This picked up a greater audience, but becasue it didn't do so good in the beginning, Dragonball GT didn't do so good. Akira Toriyama came into Dragonball GT but wasn't really the head of it. Toriyama didn't want Super Saiyan 4 to have black hair and to have Gold Hair like the rest of his Super Saiyans, but his say really didn't matter so they made Super Saiyan 4 with black hair. Dragonball GT
Dragonball's final spawn was Dragonball GT. GT is about Trunks and other protagonist hunting for the dragonballs not just on earth, but throughout the universe. Goku is wished small by Emperor Pilaf (who appeared first in Dragonball) so the gang must get him wished back to his original size. This is just the beginning, Villains to on to be the Evil Shenlong, Super 17 and more. Why people really don't like Dragonball is becasue it was created by Toei Animation and it has nothing to do with Akira Toriyama, and was drawn by a completely different set of artist.
In America, the Dragonball phenomenon is slowly catching on, and it's slowly but surely moving up from cult status. However, here in America, we may never get the entire series of any of the three, and if we do, for the time being, they are being editted to pieces. |
