It depends on what you mean by better. Do i think the story is better? Yes. Do i also think that the story is garnered towards a younger audience? Yes. Would i want to watch either show? No. But at their best the shows are both good in their own field. Goku turning ss the first time was a very powerful episode. To see Krillin, his best friend, implode, and have Goku transform was amazing. Bringing Krillin back? Not so amazing. Gohan turning ss2 was also cool. Vegeta going from bad guy to good was a mediocre story, though it had potential. Frieza saga was long and drawn out. It too had potential.
Naruto (which i haven't seen much of) is so much more multi faceted. That dude with the red hair is so much better an antihero then Vegeta. Naruto has more to overcome than Goku who has always been better than everybody other than the villian, until his shirt gets ripped off. And none of the main enemies are really ever mentioned until they are put into the story. Calling Goku the best fighter in the universe and then to bring in somebody who is better then him is annoying.
Having Goku get exponetially better, while all his friends diddle around, and masturbate to him is such a bad story. I mean, Krillin is only jealous of Goku one or two times ever. If they really wanted to do something cool they should have taken one of the good guys and made him evil.
I mean dragonball z is so black and white. It has its powerful moments, but how many times can you hear Freiza saying i am superior to you before getting bored of that consistency. If you want to watch a show of that caliber. Yu Yu Hakishu (sp?) is so much better.
Naruto sometimes does take it overboard. Whole episodes are dedicated to backstory sometimes, and that can get a little old. But i would rather too much back story than watching a show about somebody who can do no wrong.
Granted, Dragonball z did a lot for anime, And i watched it every day on tunami when i was a kid.
dude, naruto really has no story. its a disgrace to ninjas everywhere. its almost as disgusting as the american one piece. also, if you think dbz is long and boring, naruto is even LONGER and more boring. naruto is an obnoxious punk who is hateable, while goku is a likeable character. i would rather root for goku. the fighting in naruto is stupid. i hate hand signs. the fighting in dbz is destructive and powerful. could naruto destroy a planet? no. could goku? yes. there is way too much filler in naruto especially after sasuke left. when the snake guy fought the old guy and the old guy is trying to steal snake guy's soul, old guy gets stabbed in the chest with a sword, and they TALK for 5 episodes!! !! ! dbz may have filler, bu at least they fight. also vegeta is a MUCH better anti-hero than the red-haired sandman. vegeta is badass, always trying to be the best, not for the recognition, but for his self-satisfaction. also, naruto takes too long to explain backstory. also, if you hate frieza saying "i'm so powerful", then wouldn't you hate naruto saying "i'm gonna be hokage" and "believe it"
bottom line: dbz is MUCH better than naruto. but still, Avatar the last airbender is best
haha ill agree with some of that. like i said i dont watch either show very much. I forgot about naruto shouting those two lines all the time. Yeah that is obnoxious.
Um Goku being able to destroy planets singlehandedly doesnt help the story. It hurts the story. I mean how much more powerful can you get? What does he destroy whole galaxies next? I mean amount of destruction does nothing for a story.
By the end it became difficult to ascertain differences in power because everybody had to hold back lest they destroy the world. I mean their kamihamihas didn't change from the beginning to the end.
I mean. i am willing to go on agree to disagree on most of this, but i think it is just bad taste to have a show escalate in power that quickly.
Gotenks traveled around the world like twelve times in less then a second. In fact didn't he turn back time in that story?
And i guess i didnt know there were that many ninjas out there for such a show to be a disgrace to.
naruto is obnoxious, but he isn't hateable. While Goku is boring. I think on that, we'll have to agree to disagree. because that is mostly preference
There is a lot of filler in each show.
Vegeta was a good antihero for awhile, but then he became sort of cliche.
The good thing about naruto is that there is such a wide landscape of characters that a character such as Vegeta wouldn't have became cliche. You wouldn't have to see him every episode. Wouldn't have to rely on the same characteristics day after day. And i guess, when it comes down to the bottom line, that is why i think naruto is the better show. DBZ had to rely on the same seven characters to carry the show until the end.
And for someone who hates naruto so much, it sure sounds like uve seen quite a few episodes.
i used to watch it a lot. naruto's characters/ plot are annoying. dragon ball z isn't perfect, but it is miles better than naruto
