I would like naruto better if they had more hand to hand fights instead of all this ninjitsu crap. Naruto wins because it has a story and each character has depth but other then that i would have chosen dbz because the fights where good hand to hand stuff

Naruto blows, DBZ sucks, FullMetal Alchemist ownz all \o/

No for real, Naruto is like DBZ. Action... Fighting... Thats it. The story is weak, the charas aint in any sence intresting. Hek, i only watch is becauls now i wanna see how it ends, but i can miss a couple of eps and still be up to date. Altho the hokage lvl battle was good. That, for me, was the first really good fight in Naruto. I was expecting alot from that Zaboza dude, but i didnt even notice when it was over. Didnt it take like 3 eps for sasuke too defeat that haku dude? Didnt it take trunks like 3 eps too defeat that frieza dude? huh? HUH!?

I just think characters from Dragonball Z have a more unique persona opposed to the characters in Naruto. Naruto has a great plot, the fighting is excellent, and it's fun to watch. But I'd have to say I still like Dragonball Z somewhat more.

I'd like Naruto more if it weren't for this..

You seem to forget, DBZ is VERY old. The very first episode aired February 16, 1986. It wasn't until 1998 that Funimation started to Dub the episodes into english. So back then it was the best thing and paved the way to a lot of animes. You can't compare simply because they are totally different genres and in totally different timelines alltogether.

Technically, Naruto defeated Haku due to his outrage. The only reason why he was able to break through Haku's jutsu was because of Ninetails.

By the way, don't obsess over a lame character, who is Sasuke.

*sigh* The point is, it takes ages of "going back to the begining" and "taking closeups of all the charas that are around" too actually finish a fight or get somewhere. It reminds me of HEY! DBZ! There we go o_O

I am not a huge fan of either but I'd agree that you can't really compare them yet. Wait until Naruto is finished, then look back on both series and see how they developed and all that jazz. I'm not impressed by the concepts or the combat in either show... if I want to see a cool fight between ninjas I'll watch an old Japanese movie. Ninjitsus are like a combonation of magic spells and DBZ ki attacks... just doesn't float my boat. I'd rather see how the stories develop rather than how the animation looks.

Naruto is better than DBZ is so many ways.

-Naruto has better graphics
-Naruto has a better story line
-Naruto doesn't drag on like DBZ
-Naruto has unique characters and attacks

Even though I believe Naruto is much better DBZ still has it's own quality that makes it special to. But overall I give it to Naruto.

"Naruto has better graphics"
yes unfortunately dbz is outdated, its a 1980-90's anime, where as naruto was done 10 years later.... yet i still prefer the dbz style, if you'd read the manga you'd see how good it really is..... even better than the majin buu saga's animation, all the way through

"Naruto has a better story line"

hmmm lemme see, in naruto, the main character has a power inside him made available through anger, and emotional stress, he was born like this and has always had incredible stamina, in dbz, goku was a baby saiyan giving his strength an advantage at birth and when he gets angry he unlocks a special power.... hmmmmm..... The first jutsu naruto learns properly is Buushin no jutsu, his signature move, the first attack goku learns, kamehameha also his signature move. (spoiler for those not up to date with the anime>>>)Orichimaru is trying to take over leaf country with an army of the sound and sand,The red ribbon army tried to take over the world (end of spoiler). Orichimaru knows that the kyubbi is powerful enough to pose a threat so tries his best to disable it but the seal is removed by prevy sennin, frieza found the saiyan race was a threat and tried to get rid of them, but goku was alive. Frieza had a right hand man he was always fond of called vegeta- goku's rival, orichimaru is fond of sasuke- naruto's rival. Sasuke always apears much cooler than naruto, like vegeta looks much cooler than goku, when goku outclasses vegeta, vegeta goes mad, and uses a technique to blow up the earth, his most powerful and effective attack, but goku uses his much better technique and stops it, after that vegeta does anything for an advantage (babidi) (naruto manga spoiler here >>>) when naruto totally outclasses sasuke, he goes crazy and tries to kill him with chidori, and naruto starts to use reasengan (much better) but kakashi stops it, after sasuke will do anything to be better, such as going with the 4 nins so orichimaru can make him more powerful (<<< end or naruto spoiler). Sasuke has a vendeta against his brother who he wants to kill to avenge his family and trains his whole life to do this, Vegeta wants to kill frieza to avenge his people that frieza kills and trains his whole life for it. The ginyu squad = those 4 nins of the sound ( i cant remember their names, currently fighting in the manga)..... I could go on and on, easy to compare, those are the ones that jumped to my mind right now. if you want more just ask :].


"Naruto doesn't drag on like DBZ"
hmmm, well im gonna get *****ed at cuz im comparing manga with the anime, but the naruto manga never drag on, neither does the DBZ manga, but in the anime's naruto is worse, most of my friends wont watch it cuz it drags on too much, the same with dbz, You see your watching a jap version of naruto, when they dubed the dbz eps, they werent as long (just 20 mins in jap, hence more jap eps that eng eps), and so the dragging on didnt always happen as bad. Plus funi added lots of stupid monologues, and lots of flashbacks, and explained everything over and over, but hey, your not allowed to compare that kind of thing, even though it is perfectly logical to compare jap eps to jap eps, its clearly not the case as Alea said.

"Naruto has unique characters and attacks"

Hmmmm maybe, im not sure about that, i see a lot of different buushins, henge, you could compare kunai to ki blobs, i dunno, but hey this mod gets thousands of suggestions for attacks, and naruto has many techniques, so i think they are about even on this one, but imo i can recall more attacks from dbz than naruto.

The Naruto storyline is more complex, it has fast action and it explains things better. DBZ screws up alot, it's story line always drags on, it gets boring. Naruto never gets boring, I love it. :laff:

I SAID, it's illogical to compare the subtitled, japanese Naruto to the horrible Funimation dub of DragonBallZ.

It is perfectly logical to compare japanese episodes to japanese episodes, and if you do so--Naruto wins, far and away, hands down.

You can easily compare any episode of DBZ, whether it's a Funi dub or an original, to Naruto and Naruto still wins by far. All Funi really did was edit out swear words, and other minor little details that don't matter or in my opinion made it sound better. Usually they didn't edit out the minor details, they more or less just manipulate them a little to come off a bit differently. For example, I have both versions of "Bardock the Father of Goku" the original japanese version(Akira Toriyama), and the Funi version. The japanese version sounds a little cruder, they use foul language, while the Funi dub, just edited out the swear words, and changed the dialogue around a bit. Here are a few examples of how the dialogue is different (not exact).

Japanese
Random Frieza Henchman: Prince Vegeta, I have some terrible news. You and Nappa are the few remaining sayains left.
Vegeta: and?
Random Frieza Henchman: Planet Vegeta was struck by a giant Meteor.
Vegeta: and?
Random Frieza Henchman: .... I thought you might want to know.

Funi
RFH: Prince Vegeta, Planet Vegeta was struck by a meteor today and was destroyed!
Vegeta: Oh? are you sure?
RFH:You, Nappa and a few other Saiyans are the only survivors
Vegeta: and?
RFH: Do you have a comment to send back?
Vegeta: No comment.

There's also a scene where Bardock tries to warn the other Saiyans of Frieza's plan and they all laugh at him, in the japanese version he tells them all to burn in hell, in the Funi sub, He says "Fools! You will die! Beleive what you want, but I'm going to stop him!"

It's not much of a difference but some people go overboard with it. Even the original scripts aren't better than Naruto, not by a longshot.

It's still the same movie, If you were to watch the Funi version only you'd have basically have seen the same thing. I don't think that foul language is necessary to make a good movie/anime. Plus, the music and voice acting is MUCH better in the Funi version. I'm sorry, but the voices in the japanese version are terrible, and the music does not fit. When there's a fight scene I expect some music that will get me pumping, the japanese music sounds almost silly, it makes me take the movie less seriosuly. This isn't the same for Naruto, I think the voices in Naruto are done very well, but I'd still have to hear the dub voices to make a descision whether i like the original better or not. I absolutley LOVE the music in Naruto, and I think it fits very well with the show.

The storyline in DBZ is very simple, bad guy comes to destroy the earth and/or to take the dragonballs, goku and the others defeat him. EVERY TIME, the real plot in DBZ comes with the characters, the character development in DBZ is good and adds more depth to the show. Naruto on the other hand has GREAT character development, AND the story line is much better. Now, I'm not saying that Naruto's storyline is the best, but it's far better than DBZ's
