what percent of AMV's are utter crap?

I know alot of people who liked DBZ before that saw what good anime was like, none of them like dbz anymore.

Umm, actually I started off watching 'good' anime, fell away from anime, watched DBZ, and got back into 'good' anime again. And guess what? I still like DBZ. I just don't think it's the best series in existence. In fact, I know it's not.

Can we all agree that DBZ isn't a good anime? I mean nobody in the world except for kids fifth grade and below can honestly believe that DBZ has something resembling a plot.

Honestly, no, we can't all agree. I believe DBZ has a plot, just that it gets lost at points during the series (because they indeed stretched it out *far* too long). Is the plot complex? As much as you want to make it. Some people see great depths of emotion and struggle in DBZ, some people see pointless fighting. What you're doing is minimizing the series into its basest form, which can be done with anything.
People constantly make the things they don't like seem simple, and make the things they do like seem more sophisticated. I think it's rather sad that people can't just give credit where credit is due. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying DBZ is great, I'm just saying that DBZ does not automatically=stupidity, lack of depth, retardation, etc.

DBZ fanboys on the other hand, well that's a different story...

i have to agree with most about the whole linkin ball z stuff and the dbz anime does lose its plot a lot but i think you'lll find that if you read the dbz graphic novels the plot is a lot better and is not stretched out at all, a fight that last say 10 - 20 tv episodes may only last a page or two in the comics.
I think the reason for all the dragon ball z videos is because many newbies at amvs are also new to anime and like it was pointed out before havent really seen any good anime just dragon ball z (or maybe pokemon *vomit vomit*).
So if anyone out there is thinkin of making a dbz amv especially to linkin park go get yourself some decent anime, eg. princess mononoke, akira, ghost in the shell etc.

Because there's not alot of videos done to these anime movies either eh?

You know what really needs to stop? All these stupid you like DBZ you don't like DBZ threads. Does anyone really care if someone likes it or not? I mean really now. Who cares? Anyone? ......... Anyone?

i spose that is a point but as they say good things come in small packages!

Nobody's an idiot for watching and liking DBZ provided they are watching it in japanese (let's face it, no one in their right mind will say english DBZ is good).

I do, don't care if you think I'm a retard or not
It's not my favorite anime or anything, but I think it's a neat little show. (Well, maybe not little). The Linkin Ball Z vids are old hat though... a good rule of making AMV's is to use animes that are rarely used, and songs that are never (or almost never) used. As I'm sure everyone here knows =p.

There's nothing wrong with DBZ, other than the fact that AMVs of it have been done, to death. Especially with LP songs. 8)
