Dragon Ball Z is overrated.
It's the only reason why i stopped using facebook or searching for anime fan friends.
Whenever i chat with a dbz fan he or she just has to say "Goku can beat saitama" or some shit.
Fuck DBZ, it's the only reason why people look down on us anime fans.
Unfortunately, that's not the only reason why anime fans are looked down upon. It's also because some anime fans are obsessed with Japanese culture to the point where they denounce their own culture and pretend to be Japanese themselves. People tend to generalize all anime fans as being like that, which is why the anime community gets a lot of backlash. The weeaboos are giving all anime fans a bad name.
That sounds like my girlfriend. She cares more about K-pop, weird Japanese candies, and manga than anything at all American. she looks forward to Tekko-Con all year and spends a ton on cosplay outfits, mostly Naruto or Bleach. And to here her gush over Gaara's voice is embarrassing. Buuuutttt..... I still like her. Even if she makes the stuff she like that much more unappealing to me.
I'm not saying liking any of these things is a bad thing, but there's a tipping point where a person takes it too far. And personally, anything that gets too hyped loses my attention. I was a DBZ fan. Was. Right about the Buu saga I got fed up with DBZ fans. Never even gave GT a chance. Never once bothered with the aforementioned Naruto or Bleach just because the hype train imploding on the news they were coming to America. Fandoms just ruin it for me. I liked stuff like Full Metal Alchemist, even before brotherhood made it more bad ass. Psycho-Pass, Knights of Sardonia, Samurai Champloo, Read or Die, Hellsing, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Sekirei, and non of these things despite being known are blown up too far. Hell, even FLCL (fooly cooly) has a good sized fan base without being super hyped up.
