Fan Classes

By MarileaP

Across the us DBZ is becoming increasingly more popular, my school is no exception. DBZ is quickly becoming a phenomenon due to Cartoon Network and the like. 6th, 7th and 8th graders will often brag about how much they know about DBZ and how big of fans they are. When I give them some simple inquiries they are stumped. This is why I and two other of my friends, respectively Incubuskorn and FreizaF4, developed the class system.

    Class 1- this contains the misguided children who do not know that DBZ is Japanese and think that the only storyline is the storyline that has been dubbed. They nothing of the series beyond the dubbed version. This is pretty low.

    Class 2- these are people who are aware that DBZ is Japanese and that there is storyline after the dubbed version but have no imagination and are still under the impression that the dubbed version is completely honest and nothing is changed. They will go on-line and try to impress cultured anime fans. Example: "Hey Alan, wasn't it cool when Gohan did the fusion dance with 5-year old Trunks !?!" Correction: "Um..dude. That was Goten, Gokus other son. By that time Gohan was in high school. And Trunks was 8. Note: still thinks DBZ is a cartoon

    Class 3- There is class 1 and 2 and then there is 3. Most people like you and I would be between 2 and 3 with the Anime fans. The Criteria for a real anime fan is you actively rent Animes you haven't seen before and expand on ones you have so you know what you are talking about. Class 3 is bad, but at least you are not clueless. Criteria for Class 3:
1) You own the entire dubbed series either because you bought them in boxed sets or recorded them off of TV. This is only criteria if the dubbed episodes and movies are the only Anime you own.
2) You download the rest of the series via the web or MIRC because you think the information websites are lying to you and trying to trick you, or some other Bizarre reason.
3) You actively (or ever !!) seek out websites containing the Dragonball hentai, DBX.
4) You have seen more than 96% of the series and still get characters and storylines mixed up.
5) You spend more than 60% of your income on DBZ merchandise because you believe it makes you a better fan.
                If you are 4 out of 5 of these you qualify as a class 3
