Talk:Dragon Ball

3 series from 2 tankobon?

the intro has "42 tankōbon have been adapted into three anime series" totally untrue, the first two series, dragon ball and dragonball z were based off the 42 tankobon, but the third, dragon ball gt was not written or adapted from any manga, simply wrote on the spot into anime. this is misleading information as users will not realize that the extreme differences between db and dbgt were not a coincidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keibetsu (talk • contribs) 06:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

GT was a spiritual adaptation of the manga and continuation of the previous two anime series, taking place in the same fictional universe/continuity and using the same characters, locations, items, and general plot devices (at least, insofar as was necessary to lead into the introduction of new characters, locations, items, and plot devices). It was, by no means, "simply wr[itten] on the spot". --Dinoguy1000 (talk · contribs) as 208.124.86.54 (talk) 22:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I totally agree with what you are saying. DBGT was an anime-only series, yes, but the characters were the same and the story is based on the manga. I just wanted to say that in a simplified way! D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 03:33, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Ball GT may not have been written "on the spot", but it certainly feels that way. There are a large number of inconsistencies with the canon that crop up in the show or were conveniently explained away in DBGT but have never been apparent anywhere else in the series. There's also the fact that Akira Toriyama wanted nothing to do with DBGT, which tells you if even the series creator wasn't concerned with it, why should we be? GT started out nicely with a genuine feel of the old Dragon Ball series, but it would later become more like DBZ with long fights and "powering up" beyond what was possible. I think the introduction of the somewhat laughably designed SSJ4 forms should have tipped people off that the show was running out of ideas to "borrow".--72.197.136.35 (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

External Links

I think that this section misses the official manga websites. It only covers the anime websites. I sugest you to add http://www.shonenjump.com/ (official Shonen Jump site) and http://www.s-manga.net/ (official Shueisha site). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.162.32.229 (talk) 22:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Over 9000

I cannot believer there is no mention fo the huge internet meme 'over 9,000' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.246.147.34 (talk) 22:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

There are not reliable sources discussing the meme. Without reliable sources, the meme should not be included in the article, or anywhere else in Wikipedia for that matter. —Farix (t | c) 01:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Tone in the Theme section

In the Theme section of this article, I cannot help but get the feeling that whoever wrote it has some sort of agenda. Reading through that section gives me a sense of sarcasm and perhaps even spite, as it is written with almost comical repetition. I do not urge anyone to correct it before it has been checked by someone adequate; considering English is not my first language, I might just have unsterstood it wrong.

Edit request from ZServ, 11 May 2010

Change "in may 2010" to on May 24th, 8:00PM EST because that is the official air date for the series in the US, which i was not able to find on Wikipedia. Just for convenience.
