02/21/2005 Archived Entry: "Lycos Top 50"

Believe it or not, Dragonball is still on Lycos's "Top 50 Searches" occupying the 11th spot. They refer to Dragonball as an "Anime Dynasty", so hurray for all fans. It's quite amazing that DB has managed to keep its spot as one of the most searched topics in the internet for years. Congratulations, Toriyama-sama!

Posted by z @ 02/22/2005 05:13 PM EST

Pokemon is in there? It better not be higher than DBZ... DBZ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (times infinity) Pokemon.

Posted by Gogeta @ 02/23/2005 04:40 PM EST


I agree that DBZ is better than pokemon and im not very surprised that it is still a popular search topic. It might be getting a bit old but it isnt that old yet and a whole lot of people (including even some of the people here) still like DBZ.

Posted by mstretton @ 02/23/2005 11:04 PM EST


well of course people here still like dbz lol this is a dbz site!

WAT!!!!!!!WHERE THE HELL IS FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!!!!!!!!!
YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by INERASABLE SIN @ 02/25/2005 12:55 AM EST


Obviously not here.

Posted by Flugigo @ 02/25/2005 01:21 AM EST


Toriyama doesn't care for dbz anymore. He wants to forget about that and move on with his life. At least that's what i heard.

Posted by android #17 @ 02/25/2005 02:14 PM EST


Then you must've heard wrong. He only said that he wasn't going to make another DB series.

Posted by Gogeta @ 02/25/2005 02:16 PM EST


DBZ is still in the top 50 becuase north american kids are immature jackasses.

Trolling b@$t@rd...

Hey u guys heard that there gonna start showing dbgt episodes from mon - sat at 1030 pm ET on Cartoon Network. now at least i have sumthin to look foward to every nite even though i like adult swim also.

Posted by SSJGokutenks @ 02/26/2005 10:55 AM EST


Oh yah the episodes start on the beginning of march.

Posted by SSJGokutenks @ 02/26/2005 10:57 AM EST


The GT series sucked... i look forward to the day it burns....

Posted by Napoleon X @ 02/26/2005 01:50 PM EST


actually the original Japanese version was okay... but the american dub was no good, much to edited and sucky background music. no variety even! the same song all the time!

Posted by z @ 02/27/2005 01:08 AM EST


i only download the japanese versions of the movies just couse you get the whole stpry in one download...

Posted by Napoleon X @ 02/27/2005 03:49 AM EST


*smirks, crossing his arms* Check it again, it might be down on the list, but it's an "Anime Legend" now.

Posted by Gullwing Vegeta @ 02/27/2005 07:12 AM EST


I REALLY, REALLY wish Pan had a better dub. They turned her from an early-teen punk to a plain jane, who wasn't nearly as enthusiastic a person as in the Japanese version. But GT didn't suck in the Japanese version: it was really funny! And then they cut out the humor for the american version. I'm sorry, but what sells best in america? Could it be... comedy? You see, it was there loss because it did badly in Japan.

Posted by z @ 02/27/2005 02:42 PM EST


i agree, dbgt was really good in japanese but funi fucked it up with that corny *** background music and that disgusting piece of crap they call voice acting. I can't stand to watch it in english so i stopped watching it on CN a looooooooooooong time ago.
**** YOU FUNIMATION!!!! YOU RAPED WHAT USED TO BE MY FAVORITE ANIME!!!!
DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by android#17 @ 02/27/2005 10:24 PM EST


Please, DBGT was bad in general. Shitty to be more precise.

The animation is piss poor, the plot was sub- par. If you can call it that.

And on top of that the best part was when it ended.

and to some guy way back, Toriyama does indeed dislike DBZ now. He not only doesnt wanna make more he wanted to stop it after a volume or two of DB. But everyone says "I liek money do more" so he did.

BTW many, MANY, MMMMMAANNNYYY shows are better than DBZ. Broaden your horizons.

Posted by Haroken @ 02/27/2005 11:53 PM EST


i'm not going to argue with you on wether it's good or not because i know everyone has their own oppinion. But, i have encountered alot of anime shows and i must say FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST would have to be the best by far and then NARUTO. And i was right about Toriyama, wasn't I?

Posted by android #17 @ 02/28/2005 01:56 AM EST


Yes we must move on from Dragonball but that doesn't mean we must forget about it. I still dont think all the anime in the world could match the dragonball series. Its still by the way the longest animated series in tv/manga history.

Posted by SSJGokutenks @ 02/28/2005 08:24 AM EST


DBZ can PWN the asses of Pokemon and Hamtaro ANY day...

Posted by Gogeta @ 02/28/2005 11:55 AM EST


....you do realize that it's pwning series meant for young children right?

Posted by Haroken @ 02/28/2005 12:53 PM EST


You realize that you're just here for trolling, right?

Posted by Gogeta @ 02/28/2005 02:15 PM EST


Actually I'm staff at NC so n, not really.

Posted by Haroken @ 02/28/2005 02:20 PM EST


I like a lot of anime, but DBZ was like the first show I ever watched so it's like my 'old friend' anime. but yeah there are a lot of anime with many qualities that could be considered better. it' just that anime would never have gotten anywhere without 'the classics'.

Posted by z @ 02/28/2005 02:34 PM EST


...The same way I will never forget "My Neighbor Totoro" (and I'm a lady so it's ok for me to like it cause it's cute)
DBZ was the very start of pretty much all GOOD shonen anime/manga: I mean, when you think of what started the begining of the serious phenomenon (that is anime/manga) which comes to mind, you guys: DBZ or Astro Boy?
I think you guys know the right answer. The guy who wrote astroboy might be the godfather of anime, but if he is, Toriyama has got to be like... The King, or the god or something. (And for all you who say Toriyama 'doesn't like DBZ anymore' then let me explain this to you:
no mangaka "Stops liking" there show or "gives up" on it, the fact is that every one of them has a vision for the stories "TRUE ENDING" and Toriyama worked past that under pressure. So I don't think he hates Dragonball in the least bit: for goodness sakes, he's the father of DRAGONBALL. He just worked past what HE saw as the "true ending" because the peoples wanted more. That's just the fate of a truely dedicated mangaka.

Posted by z @ 02/28/2005 03:08 PM EST


Touche, Z. Touche.

Posted by Gogeta @ 02/28/2005 04:38 PM EST


I can't say I'm surprised about DBZ being there. There are quite a few fans still left. I doubt it'll be off the top 50 soon. Probably late next year or so.

Posted by hyuga_sama @ 02/28/2005 06:19 PM EST


Toriyama wasnt "dedicated" he ws under contract.

Posted by Haroken @ 02/28/2005 11:29 PM EST


Just out of curiousity, how do you know so much about him, Haroken?

Posted by android #17 @ 03/01/2005 12:14 AM EST


its called 1) I know how to read. 2) I can read interviews, of which he is on record for saying most of this, and 3) I am the best guy evar.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/01/2005 01:11 AM EST


Mm-hm. Sure you are. You wouldn't happen to be that guy on GameFAQs named "SSJ4 WingZero", would you?

Posted by Gogeta @ 03/01/2005 11:35 AM EST


you're just too damn arrogant. Anyways, i go to adultswim.com and i go to the schedule. it says todays the last new episode of inuyasha and tomorrow they're gonna start bringing reruns. But when i go to the episode guide for inuyasha on AS it goes past episode 120 and we're only up to episode 101. So, my question is does anyone here know if they're gonna bring the other eps. soon?
PLEAZZZZZ if you know tell me.

Posted by android #17 @ 03/01/2005 12:17 PM EST


...no. I am Haroken everywhere I go.

The only screenname I have...

still the best evar though.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/01/2005 04:01 PM EST


there are alot of bad, okay, good and great animes out there. alot of good anime (according to themself) are not in the popular search because they are not known to many. pokemon is popular because of the show aims at kids, they will tend to watch since they have more time to watch it. anime aim at teen-adult tend to be less popular since they are mostly busy. you can also define what you mean by best anime and popular anime. most people watch anime for their genres not whether the plot is well written or not. they might be popular but not the best and might be the best but not popular. true for shows on tv or movies. for me, db has been there for long, since 1986 or so, whether it is consider the best or not, who know, but i know its very very popular. naruto and alchemist is growing in popularity but are they on the list of best animes and for how long? others i think are good anime but not popular: trigun, gto, yu-yu-hakusho, rurouni kenshin, blue seed, dragon knight, full metal alchemist, fire emblem, hack//sign, hundred stories..etc. there would be more debate if they have the least search anime rather the the most.

Posted by Battousai @ 03/01/2005 04:18 PM EST


How the hell can you claim FMA, Yuyu Hakusho, and RK arent popular?

Posted by Haroken @ 03/01/2005 08:28 PM EST


I KNOW!!!!!!!!!! HAGANE NO RENKINJUTUSHI (FMA) IS LIKE THE BEST AND THE MOST POPULAR ANIME SHOW OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!
You must be on drugs, otherwise you wouldn't have said that.
Sorry Battousai, but you're definitely wrong on this matter.

Posted by android #17 @ 03/01/2005 10:02 PM EST


wait? what? what? since when were those shows not popular? EVERYONE watches those shows, and if not has heard of them. there IS NO discussion about it.

Posted by z @ 03/01/2005 10:44 PM EST


I don't get why there are so many more Ed (FMA) fans than Al. Maybe bacuse Al's not as exciting?
I watch that show for the comedy. Nothing says funny like Mustang saying "I love dogs! You can order them around and they never complain or ask for a raise in their paycheck!"

Posted by z @ 03/01/2005 10:47 PM EST


Full Metal Alchemorons liek yourself are the reason people commit suicide.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/02/2005 01:05 AM EST


Augh, Haroken...the day you become the best person in the world is the day Hell freezes over.

Posted by Gogeta @ 03/02/2005 02:12 PM EST


wait? what? I'm not, but you're saying you hold something AGAINST those people? huh? aren't you American? huh? well?

Posted by z @ 03/02/2005 05:10 PM EST


Woah. Man. Stooping as low as using my name and then making racist comments because I'm right and you guys aren't.

Oh lord, the anguish. Oh lord, how insulted I am to be jested by such beings of magnificent intellect.

Fugging spare me.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/02/2005 08:27 PM EST


Hey XZ, get a "register my name" here thing. This is annoying.

Since no one is as great as me.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/02/2005 10:05 PM EST


Apparently such an option doesnt exist, so says XZ.

Oh well.

My 1337ness surpasses you all anyway.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/02/2005 10:10 PM EST


LMAO!! sum ppl here need to get out more. oh btw Z, i hav respect for u, most of the things u say r quite intellegent n well thought out, but im afraid there is a discussion about YuYu being popular, because if EVERYONE did watch it, then it WLD be on the top 50 search list, but its not, therefore not popular enough... sorry but theres the facts. discussion over

Posted by Kienken @ 03/03/2005 02:10 PM EST


omg im so arrogant lmao... sorry to put it that way, but surely u can agree with me, if these animes WERE that popular then they WLD be on the top 50 list, if they're not on there, that means not enough ppl r searching for them/interested in them, and thus, not popular enough

Posted by Kienken @ 03/03/2005 02:13 PM EST


Andif you WERe intelligent you WOULD be using proper SPELLING and GRAMMAR.

pwn3d kthx.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/03/2005 02:25 PM EST


Look, guys, if you want to shut Haroken up and put him in his place, you'll have to use proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar.

Posted by Gogeta @ 03/03/2005 04:33 PM EST


so? what? not true. I think the best stats for 'most popular' is how many people actually watch the show. I rarely EVER serch for ANYTHING on my favorite shows because...I'm content just watching my show. so, basically, I totally disagree with you. It's just not something commonly searched for, cause, oh! what'dya know! go to a movie store, rental place, netflix and! OMG! It's RIGHT THERE. There's no REASON to search for it if you have half a brain.

Posted by z @ 03/03/2005 04:39 PM EST


Thank you Gogeta.

Is it really to much to ask for real spelling and decent grammar?

Also, the reaosn you dont see RK and Yuyu Hakusho and such in the lycos 50
is because they are not liked by all ages. You will see Dragonball likened by ages 10-50. Yuyu appeals to a much younger crowd, as well as RK.

Just how it is.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/03/2005 05:27 PM EST


lol sorry, i'm not used to having to use proper gramma on things like this... i use msn way to much... thought i might be good to write like to to save space lol sorry, like i said, i was being arrogant, n i was also basing on what i know from being in britain, only pokemon, db/z/gt, beyblade n digimon are shown here, along with a few others like ultimate muscle and whatnot. and i wasnt disputing watching ratings, i'm sure youre right and it is popular, its just generally that the popular things do get searched for, meh my mistake... aww look at me trying to save whatever pride i have! sorry people, but i have to ask, whats this "pwn3d kthx" thing?

Posted by Kienken @ 03/03/2005 06:21 PM EST


Its the reason I'm far more 1337 than j00.

Posted by Haroken @ 03/03/2005 07:38 PM EST


wait? you're in Britain?
Oh, yea, TV over there is a LOT more limited...I've long-term vaca'ed there. That's 1337 (LEET) for "pwned 'kay thanks" I think.

Posted by z @ 03/03/2005 08:36 PM EST


well, its only limited anime-wise, we still have all the same channels, and more coz we have both american channels and british (but not ALL american channels because then i would have more anime...) but yeah, more soaps, less chat shows on british TV.

Posted by Kienken @ 03/03/2005 08:39 PM EST


omg stfu haroken!

<3 teh Haroken

Posted by YuYu @ 03/03/2005 10:12 PM EST


yeah but the only soap I ever watched was... uh... what was it... uh... wait! no... uh... um... I think it was...er... that's a good question. Oh, well, it was an anime but it didn't have previews at the end. I don't remember which one it was, though, really.

Posted by z @ 03/03/2005 10:23 PM EST


Okay I was wrong.

Yuster is VERY close to being as 1337 as me.

Ah, yes, Yu Yu. My old arch-enemy...

^ Wow. XD

Word HairyKen.

Posted by YuYu @ 03/04/2005 08:04 PM EST


how would you know an anime is popular or not, except when there is statistic that goes with it. you can not judge popularity by asking your friend if they like it or not because they can say maybe or i guess and you suggest that he likes it. 1,000 people might like it doesn't make it popular compare to 1,000,000. don't use you common sense to make things true but use some facts.

Posted by Battousai @ 03/05/2005 11:50 AM EST


Maybe because he looked at the statistics... o.o
