If there was one thing I could do with my free time, it's would be to watch anime and read manga. Seriously, I really love the way each characters were drawn, I love the Japanese soundtrack in any anime, and I would consistly try to draw in anime format.

And like a fan, I have my favorites; my top 5 favorites. I mean I have a lot of anime and manga that I love as well, but I think I gotta pick the ones that impact me... I think this might be difficult for me :(


DRAGON BALL Z

FAIRY TAIL

DENGESKI DAISY

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

#1: Dragon Ball Z

Actually, this is a no brainer for me. Dragon Ball Z would definitely be my first choice because that was the anime that got me started with anime. I remember the first time I started watching it like it was yesterday :D

Does anyone ever remember Toonami appearing early like around 3 or 4P.M.? Right after school? Yeah, I think it was Toonami, but anyways...
The first time I saw it was the episode when Vegeto (Goku and Vegeta fusion) was fighting against Super Buu. Usually, I wouldn't want to watch tv because I needed to finish my homework (I know, I know...NERD!!!) But for some odd reason, I sat on my lazy butt and watch it (without knowing the title, characters, or ANYTHING that was going on) and then BAM!!!... Vegeto turned into a chocolate ball. XD I thought it was amazing and that's how I got hook on drugs...I mean anime.

I would say I was about 8 years old, so I had to watch the beginning and back then, there was no recording so I had to watch it by the time it air. (Yeah, I remember the old days when you have to wait and watch it. And if you didn't watch it by that time...then I knew I was screw D:<) I remember my mom telling me that I had to be at bed at 10 and DBZ started at 10....yeah I didn't listen to my mom. I was a terrible child and a daughter. But it was worth it!!! XD It was hard for me to watch the whole series until Toonami aired it in the beginning (Thank You!), but I haven't really...read the manga (but I'm trying to now) so I can't really say which style I like.
Usually, I have my favorite styles like when I like the manga art for Vampire Knight than the anime or the anime art for Naruto than the manga art.  But even if I did read the manga before watching the anime, I would like it both :)

My favorite characters: Vegeta and Goku
My favorite couple: Bulma and Vegeta
My favorite characters are Goku and Vegeta. Okay, I like Vegeta better, but slowly I start to like the other characters like Piccolo, Future Trunks, and Gotenks.
I mean they these have amazing power like Special Beam Cannon (which Piccolo only used maybe 2 or 4 times  and personal it's a great attack move), Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack (which I think it's an awesome move XD), and Instant Transmission (I always wanted that move!!!)
Futhermore, these characters changed some much in the series; especially, Vegeta and Piccolo, because they were evil at first but later turned good. Also, they were still powerful even after turning good (usually in anime, the evil-turn-good character can't do crap even when they were a problem before! :P)
And I couldn't really hate a character in this series because how different they are. And I like that they were different and it made them believable (No seriously, I would cry when someone died at DBZ (maybe not Krillin, Yamacha, or the antagnoist :P) (sorry XD)

And my favorite couple is Vegeta and Bulma. I do like the other pairings like Goku and Chi-CHi, Krillin and Android 18, and Gohan and Videl, but I think they are absolute cute together and they made a difference together :3 And I love the bad boy and good girl romance!
The funny thing is that I hated Vegeta because he was the bad guy and he didn't care about anyone. Until I realize later when Future Trunks told Goku he was Vegeta and Bulma's kid. I was thinking THE HELL...Vegeta and Bulma...no...
But during the three years training before the Androids attacked, I fell in love with the pairing when Bulma took care of Vegeta when he destory the gravity room. Also, I love them even more when Vegeta sacrifice for Bulma and Trunks (and he said Bulma name :D), I cried in that freaking scene :'( Stupid Toriyama making me love his characters.

Later after finishing DBZ, I watched DB then DB GT. I enjoy DB, it was different (caused I watch DBZ first) because it didn't have the same characters in DBZ like Vegeta (especially Vegeta :3) and...the other characters...
However... I didn't like DB GT. I was disappointed of the plot and how weak most of the characters were. And I didn't like that Goku became a kid... it was awkward and unnecessary. The only thing I like was that I got to see what they look like when they were older because it makes you feel special that you were there when you see the characters growing up :)

And then there was the movies... To be honest, I really like the movies, but it always frustrates me when I can tell when it took place from which arc, but other then that I love them. Especially, when the new movie is coming soon: Battle of the Gods!!!!! (I know I definitely need to talk about that)

Also, I watch the episodes of DBZ Kai and I liked that they told out the fillers (THANK GOD, I hate fillers) but that's all they ever did. They didn't redraw the animation and Nickoleon took over the show and deleted a lot of things like taking out the bloody scene and change some of the script. I wasdisappointed with that, but I was glad that they aired it back because DBZ will always be known for being an influence in my life.
