How long ago did everyone start watching dragonball/z/gt?
For me it was about 6 or 7 years ago. Since then i loved it

I don't really know. Maybe the year 2000 or so.

I started watching pretty much when it was first aired in America. I remember it was only on once a week on the WB on Sunday mornings, and I would have to tape it because it was on during church! I don't think it was even called "The WB" back then. They would rerun the Saiyan saga over and over again--it was great!

Still the best part of DB/Z/GT....

I believe that it was in 2000, when it first aired here in The Netherlands.
I had some merchandise of it before 2000, but never had the chance to see an episode untill then.

So, I did know what Dragonball was before I actually saw it on TV.

About ten years ago -- I started watching it my first year of high school.

It was pretty much the first anime that I ever really got into watching and also the one that sparked cel collecting for me. To the best of my memory I started watching it sometime in 2001. They were playing the Freeza saga on cartoon network

I watched DB and later DBZ in the early '90s in France when it was already a major hit over there, long before most of America and the rest of Europe had ever heard of it. I guess I'm lucky my grandparents live in France cause that country was anime heaven back in those days.

I'm not sure of the exact year, but I think it was somewhere around 1995 to 1997. It wasn't till about a year and a half ago I found out about cels.

I remember watching bad copies (10th generation VHS tapes) back in 86-87 when the first season was being fansubbed

I bet that's true for a lot of people who are into anime (me also, certainly). I think DBZ must be a gateway anime....

I think I started watching it around 1998-1999.

I totally agree with you

Though, the saga of them looking for the dragonballs on Namek (Namek saga) was another fav of mine too

Oddly enough I bought my first two Z cels in 1999 (from some anime video mail order company that were handed down a bunch of cels from some company in LA) but I don't remember watching it until Febuary 2000.
