Most of my exposure is to Dragonball Z, which I understand isn't the best structured or intelligent show in the world... but I love Toriyama's art style and I could feel so much passion from the characters, and as an INFP, watching the character's emotions take on a tangible form in conflict appealed to me in a very primal way.  I still appreciate it as an adult because I can just feel how much emotional investment the author put into it.

I've read bits and pieces of the manga and do plan to give it a proper reading eventually.

Wait, what? Vector, likes Dragonball?
Huh, I thought you didn't, since you kept pointing out how silly it was.

I'm one of the few people I know, who have actually seen all of it.
GT has been aired years too late around here, while I had the access to the polish version x)

Ah, I wish I had been lucky enough to be scum.
I'd make such great scum...

Sigging that.

What, I'm getting sigged?!
You're just want to make me look stupid, by having that quote out of context, don't you?

I just noticed I had a small wooden box containing a brightly coloured pretend ladybird with jiggly legs in my pocket.

This is brilliant.

I don't mind.
However it really does sound silly, if taken out of context.
Oh well, keep it.

Now you people've made me want to give Mafia a try.

...I see there's already a beginner's one in action, how long do they usually take to finish? So I can join the next (if there is one ;))?

I don't mind.

Well, that's the point of sigging, isn't it?  :P

Notify me, when you plan to join one.
A friendly face around, might just be enough to make me motivated enough to join one.

The thing is that Toriyama is notorious for two things.

a. Never planning ahead.  At all.  Ever.  For any reason.
b. Constantly making whatever choice seemed most interesting at the time and just running with it.

And man... the manga has even more personal investment in it than the anime did.  It was crazy.  I always read it and felt like I was sitting with an old friend.  An old friend who understood me, because as I was growing up I really identified with a lot of the characters and their moral conflicts; it helped me understand my parents sometimes, too, strange to say.

I actually wrote my final project for AP psychology on Dragonball and psychoanalytical coping styles, IIRC >_>

Huh, I thought you didn't, since you kept pointing out how silly it was.

No, I love it =/  But it's kind of embarrassing, because in most places one can't mention it without being laughed out of town.  I think I was worried this was one of those places.


oO I have it in French...

Same here.  That was the first language I read it in.  I also own all of it in Japanese.  It's one of the materials I use to crosscheck translation nuances and stuff like that.

The thing about the anime was that it always ran at 20:15

And that was when I had martial arts training :-\

I felt the same way about it.  I swear I've had conversations with people identical in nature to the ones that always take place during the fights, and I always felt like the emotional charge such situations gave me should take form as a glowing aura, stuff rising up off the ground, etc.  I saw DBZ and thought 'That's exactly what it feels like.'

Yeah, lots of people call it juvenile.  I call it a connection that runs deeper than intellectual.

No, I love it =/  But it's kind of embarrassing, because in most places one can't mention it without being laughed out of town.  I think I was worried this was one of those places.

It is awesome that there are people here who can understand this.  I've only ever met a couple others who weren't actually raving juvenile lunatics who just wanted to see titans beat each other up.  I can't say I'm too surprised, though, after lurking the Pony Thread.
