new dragon ball z movie

Even as a kid, I never understood why everyone loved Dragon Ball. Maybe it's because I've been watching more than what the average anime fan watches (since almost all that I hear about anime anywhere on the internet (outside of one forum) is the mentioning of Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, etc.), but I find it to be severely overrated (and I don't normally call things overrated).

Don't want to start now.

What's wrong with liking animation?

You crazy. Dragonball is highly entertaining. I don't much dig a lot of the shounen type animes these days unless I'm just in that kind of mood, but Dragonball is one of the few that can still hold my attention.

I don't think that just because Dragonball Z is an anime, that it is meant for children. The only difference between a real world character and an anime character is that in the real world, things have texture. An anime character is just color. So in my opinion there's nothing that indicates that anime characters are for a younger viewing audience.

What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

If it means that you're not sure anime is supposed to be for children, it's not. Anime is just Japanese animation. There is plenty of serious, adult-oriented anime out there, just like there's plenty of fun, kid-oriented anime. Dragonball is kid-friendly, but so is Adventure Time. Doesn't stop adults from watching that.

And if that's not what you meant... then I just wasted time replying to a crazy person. Ah well.

Anyway. Am I excited about this? Let's just say I'm reserving judgement. Dragonball movies, animated or not, tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I guess we'll see.
