    DragonBall Z was violent trash that shouldn’t have been shown to kids. I was in 2nd grade when it was new and it for sure was the next power rangers in making kids want to fight literally all the time. It’s also just a really shitty show, it’s literally people standing around yelling about how they’re going to fight but every arc the new guy is harder to fight. It’s fucking dreck.

        I know that Playing Power Rangers or Playing Dragon Ball Z just meant fighting. I.tjink children shouldn’t watch a show that is literally just about fighting. That’s the entire focus of DBZ, every character’s motive is based around being better at fighting. At least other shitty kids action shows had the veil of having the protagonists ‘really not want to fight but have to!’. The main character’s goal in dbz is to be the strongest fighter and fight stronger people. Kids shows shouldn’t be entirely focused around fighting

          You’re wrong. Some of the characters are certainly fighting enthusiasts, but Goku and crew are usually fighting to save the world, not just to get better at fighting.

        Kids shouldn’t watch fight shows with nothing else going on tho. And I really liked non Z Dragon Ball, that shit was fun. And it’s not like I’m full anti violence in kids shows, inthink Digimon was cool and good for me to have watched around the same time and would encourage kids to watch it and have watched it with friend’s kids. But DragonBall Z is all about fight, at least other fight shows the protagonists are reluctant to be fight and has a surface level violence bad, Goku’s only goal is to fight stronger people

        Ehh it’s good but I wouldn’t go that far lol

        Closest thing to that would be Gohan during the Cell arc, and even that was done way better by TFS in the Abridged version.

            I’ve given it 3 chances at ages 8, 16 and 28. I really don’t see where you’re coming from. I am also very familiar with non Z DragonBall, saw that as an even younger kid and enjoyed that one on rewatch
