Because the episode limit hit over 9000...I know that joke is old but anyway the show just hit it's limit there's really no better explanation. Although I could see them trying to start the series again they are in the sell out phase of owning a franchise. But I never watched the show so I'm not sure I know for sure why it stopped.
Dragonball 'Z' was good, everything after that kinda sucked. But hey, it's anime. It was to be expected. I'd say watch those good old episodes again, makes you feel nostalgic.
You could always watch the abridged series on youtube (by team 4star), although you won't exactly get the same effect.
Budokai 3 was pretty good. I still play it from time to time. Except the talking menus are annoying, and they made it nigh impossible to land a finisher on anyone who knows what they're doing. Which sucks, because some of them are pretty fun to watch.xxhazyshadowsxx said:
As for the series itself, well it was fun up to the 3rd season of Z, when they started overtaking the manga, and had to drag out the episodes to ridiculous lengths. Then after Frieza, Toriyama pretty much just gave up, storywise.
Because its over, the guy who made the original decided he didnt want to make anymmore, he made Dragonball and dragonball Z then quit.
Then someone totally fucked it up with GT and forced him to do the ending for that.
It got almost a 1000 episodes! shitloads of games! cant you just let it die peacefully?
Just rewatch someold episodes or somthing. You kinda lucky to get as much asd you do with dragonball, my favourite anime (Zero no tsukaima) got 36 episodes an OVA and pissed off.
Be gratefull.
@ The guy who asked wqhat Dragonball kai is, its an anime series that reimagines DBZ, i think it sticks much closer to the manga this time.

I never really cared for the source material all that much (aside from the original theme music in the US release of the show "Rock the Dragon" which I thought was hysterical), but I did enjoy the Budokai Tenkaichi games, specifically 2 and 3. But that had less to do with it being DBZ and more to do with it being a positively critical strike against my weak points when it comes to things I love in fighters:
- Large 3D environments
- Environmental destruction (see: Punching people through buildings/mountains)
- Total control of flight (any game that includes flight wins millions of points from me)
- Transformations/Battle Buffs (I loved it in Bloody Roar, I loved it here, what can I say?)
- Easy to do special moves (I hate the charge back for two seconds then forward and all three punches crap. Here, you hit a button if you have the built up energy, and they do the move)
- Special moves that look BIG (I loved this in Marvel vs. Capcom too)
- Gabillions of fighters (I think Tenkaichi 3 has the record for most characters ever in a fighting game, with over 160 if you count tranformations)
There's more, but damn did I enjoy those games. Their largest failing (for me, I had them on PS2) was lack of online play. I heard the Wii version had it. I also heard that the lag was so crippling at all times that it may as well not have had it.
So yeah.... there's my plug for BT2/3. Damn... I'm gonna get banned for advertising.

It also cut out a lot of the useless footage in the show. They turned the first 30 episodes of DBZ into 14 episodes of Kai. It makes the show much better I think since action is a lot faster, rather than charging a special attack for a number of episodes only for the damn thing to miss after a needlessly big lead up to it.Eggplant said:
DBZ's main flaw was that it was made side by side with the manga, now the series is out they got rid of the excess footage, best decision they made for Kai, not just the remastering of the colours.
To make this a gaming related post. They never really stopped making DBZ games because of their popularity. I'm sure Kai editions will be released for the 20th Anniversary as well.
