........gont get what ur sayin.???

*cough*

REAL ANSWER!

Dragon Ball Z contained a lot more action and excitement than Dragon Ball, and fans liked it a lot more (as shown from consumer reaction in Japan). Therefore, when it was dubbed, DBZ was released outside of japan FIRST, then Dragon Ball was released later.

It also works under the Star Wars principle.....start the series midway through the storyline, THEN go back and tell everyone how it led up to that point.

cuz it took them longer to edit? more nudity?
u gotta admit, they seriously and ridiculously edited and butchered the original. i use to watch it all the time as a little kid. it was my fave. i mean, who in the heck is not gonna notice exerpts from other anime replacing master roshi's bleeding nose on invisible man cuz of bulma's... chichis? i mean come on! and the drawn on underwear? THEIR GONNA HAVE TO DO THE SAME TO GT WITH GOKU NAKED MOST OF THE TIME! > c its ridiculous, hes a kid... whats the deal... AND HES A DRAWING! ... at least in db there was a plot... i mean z is all BOOM BOOM OUCH DIE, OUCH, FIGHT OUCH, SUPER, DIE, DIE, DIE, OUCH,, I KILL YOU! it was ok for the first 5 trillion seasons... but MAN LLLEARN WHEN TO QUIT! anyway, i would enjoy it more WITHOUT the editing.

well in my time they show dragonball then dragonballz then dragonballz again then dragonball gt

what bugs me is that they have the guts to show 70s and 80s anime and call it new. i mean its obviously freakken grandma old. they're finally showing gundam seed... after they finished watching it in japan like... last YEAR! i mean i saw it already!... too long, i skipped middle episodes.. kinda boring. same with some of the other "NEW" stuff coming to little cartoon network... oy.
