I like naruto alot more. I really think the story is alot deeper then DBZ's. It just depends on how far into the series you are. Also because there is still more new things to come when it comes to naruto. I've already seen the whole DBZ series atleast twice.

DBZ is honestly repetitive. Fights end up with Goku killing the bad guy with with a spirit bomb.

Naruto has good use of techniques aswell. Unless you dont understand the whole hand-sign thing.

If there was a Piccolo saga, then DBZ would have a deeper story as Piccolo ends up having a lot of intrigue and also history unfolding with the various "other body" experiences.

Naruto. don't get me wrong, i grew up on dbz, but i like Naruto more. as far as i'm concerned Neji is the greatest anime character of all time. i like Tenten, Hinata, Gaara, Kakashi, my list goes on and on. there were characters in dbz that i would've prefered had simply stayed dead. good shows, both of 'em, but i just like Naruto more.

Naruto has a better story in my opinion, I mean for dbz:
Saiyan saga: Why Goku is unusual
Namek Saga: Who destroyed Planet Vegeta?
Android Saga: Revenge of The Red Ribbon Army.
Buu Saga:???????
GT:
Baby Saga: Revenge of the Tuffles
Super 17 Saga: Gero's final attempt for revenge
Shadow Dragon saga: How ironic, the thing that they rely on becomes the strongest villan.
Naruto: What one boy goes through to become the greatest ninja in his village (which is alot).

Yeah but think about it...
If they did all get defeated they would all be dead and they show would be over....whats the point in that?
So you guys kinda haft to think about that :haha:

I say Dbz,
more action,good long story that keeps you at the edge of your seat,very nice voice actors,the movies kick butt,and so do the games,the music is good.
Naruto is getting um a little to...boring for me.:noob:

Dragon Ball's has moments that Naruto can match. Naruto was supposed to carry on the tourch for Dragon Ball but it couldnt live up to the hype. Now One Piece is carrying that tourch.

I don't know, I mean, One Piece is the most popular in Japan now . But, it's tough for me to decide between One Piece and Naruto for my number 2 spot.

Otherwise, DBZ is still my numero uno.

Well judging on what episodes they are on now. The CP9 arc is better than the Akatsuki arc at the moment ecspecially now that Luffy is fighting Luci.

I have only seen parts of Naruto, and most of DBZ.

I think they are pretty similar, cause they both feature a character who keeps fighting to get stronger.

IMO Neither of them are really that great. Especially since both of them are rather long & sometimes too drawn out. Especially the fights.

A really good example of this was in DBZ during the Frieza saga. When Goku & Frieza were fighting on Namek, they had 5 minutes till the planet explodes, and the fight takes at least 10 episodes!

I heard Naruto is even longer than DBZ. I don't really like really long & drawn out anime/manga. Mostly cause in the Anime version, they have to make filler episodes so that they can not pass the Manga version.

One of the fun things to do is to go around & say stuff like the announcer on DBZ. For example:

"Next Time on DRAGON BALL Z! Goku powers up to the next level! Yet again!"

Naruto>Dragonball Z
1.In Naruto the characters don't get stupiditly powerful.
2.Naruto has waaaaayyy less plot holes.
3.DBZ is old everyone who watched it has given up and went home.
4.I personally find Ninjas more interesting than aliens that look just like humans with powers to stop hair growth*Clap-clap*
5.Yes.

I watch both, but I will surely have to choose Dragonball Z as my answer. I mean, sure. Naruto may have a more in-depth storyline with everyone fighting their own demons. However, my preferences for a good anime is a one that entertains me alot more and gets me into it alot more. Sometimes, I have to force myself really hard to watch or continue to watch a Naruto episode because it's so boring. However, I can't even take my eyes off of some DBZ episodes because of the storyline or the way better battles.

I think I'd go DBZ as well.... I wish dbz had more plot, but the basic idea of the underdog, in DBZ is just too classic.. If DBZ was in total 100 episodes, it'd probably be ranked much higher... instead they have a lot of fillers, and a lot of stare-down stuff that takes up time.. and also doesn't really develop any of the background of goku in terms of his relationship with his wife etc... his training of gohan.. If they did those two things it'd of been a great anime.. but instead they dragged it on to try and milk it for cash.. as does naruto.. and this is what hurts these animes.

PErsonally I think they should of made two animes, one where they condensed stuff and didn't draw it out in DBZ.. then have a T.V. series at the same time which stretches everything out... the only reason Kenshin is considered better than DBZ, is becasue there is less drawing out of things, and a little more social development of characters.. DBZ has a lot of cooler things than Kenshin. And naruto suffers from teh same problem.

Hey Hitman_Hart obviously you must be a Wrestling fan. I always liked Bret's matches in the WWF.

Anyways, I think that from my experience with both shows. That DBZ was slightly better. At least it did not have somebody saying "Believe It!" all the time.

Well, in a situation such as this, it can be debated, on the highest levels, if you pay attention to this.

Do people like the NEW DBZ, or the old series, with Freeza?

Or, do people like the NEW Naruto, or the old series? It all depends on the consumer and their demands.

Mystic Gohan
05-25-2007, 05:51 AM

Satanic_Panther
05-28-2007, 06:39 PM
It does if a person actually tries to understand it. But here is the lamense, for those who don't understand how to speak properly.

There is a complication with this poll. Do people like the NEW DBZ, or the Old DBZ?

As well, do they like the new series of Naruto, or was the old one better?

There are many different series of each Anime/Manga. So it's kind of hard to choose.

Mystic Gohan
05-28-2007, 06:56 PM
Oh so he is trying to separate the series in sections huh. Let me break it down for you.

Dragon Ball has three series. Dragon Ball which contained the Dragon Ball arc, Tournament arc, Red Ribbon arc, Tenshinhan arc, Piccolo Daimao arc, and Piccolo Ma Junior arc.

Dragon Ball Z which had the Saiyajin arc, Freeza arc, Garlic Junior arc, Android arc, and Buu arc.

And Dragon Ball GT which had the Grand Tour arc, Bebi arc, Super 17 arc and the Shadow Dragon arc.


Then Naruto has two series. Naruto which has the Zabuza arc, Chunin exam arc, the Sasuke retrieval arc, and the Filler arc.

And Naruto Shippuuden which is currently in the Akatsuki arc.

So yeah as you said there are of variables. So it is up to personal prefernce.
