Lol just because they were popular on Western television does that make them less of anime?No, it's because the closest DBZ came to quality anime was the Bardock movie.I still don't get the problem, there are no set define standards for something to constitute as an anime so I don't really care about what verbatim thinks.That wasn't his point.

Christ. When did I ever say anything about anything not being an anime?I'm saying it's not a good anime.(Because there's no such thing as a good anime.)But talk to any idiot who watches anime and ask them what they think of DBZ. They'll probably dislike it. Anime is one of those mediums where if you consider yourself an anime fan, you're gonna have to look past the mainstream garbage to see the "good" stuff in order to be taken seriously by any circle.And by the way, this is the standard for what constitutes an anime:A Japanese animated production.

Who cares about any circle for the matter?

I don't care if you care about what the fan circles think.I'm just telling you how shit works. You don't have to care.If you didn't care, I'd have to wonder why you're having the discussion at fucking all.
