Five years have passed since Goku and his friends defeated Piccolo Jr. and restored peace to the planet. Gohan - Goku's son - and a variety of good, bad, and morally ambiguous characters are back, and perpetually not ready for action! Aliens, androids, and magicians all hatch evil plots to destroy the world and it's up to Goku to save the Earth once more - that is, once he and his comrades train plentifully in preparation. Enemies will become friends and power levels will rise to unimaginable levels, but even with the help of the legendary Dragon Balls and Shen Long will it be enough to save Earth from ultimate destruction?

Ranma, raised to be a man among men, has a bit of a problem: he is half woman! While training in China he fell into a strange magic spring at Jusenkyo. Now, he is eternally cursed to change into a beautiful woman whenever he is hit by cold water, but that may be the least of his problems; his father has betrothed him to marry! There's never a dull day for Ranma as he attempts to find a cure for his curse, train to become stronger, and grapple with the fact that half of himself may be more feminine than his fiancée!
One of the obvious reasons to link DBZ and Ranma is the humor; they both share the same hilarious dirty-old-man humor. And both are mainly focused on fighting.
Life can be tough when you're a teenager. Enter Tsukino Usagi, an average, if somewhat clumsy, junior high student whose voracious appetite for sweets and capacity for tears are offset by her enthusiasm for life. Her normal existence is suddenly turned upside down when a talking cat named Luna comes into her life. Suddenly, Usagi finds herself with the ability to transform into the superhero known as Sailor Moon. Fighting the occasional monster may be the least of her worries, though...
Like cheesy fight sequences with lots of screaming and random transformations? Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon are similar in that aspect. The only thing you really have to do is bridge the gender difference, because we all know there are guys with feminine sides and girls with... well ...tomboy sides. Not to mention, both are rather widely-known anime.
Both series tell a story of exceeding the limits in order to be better, protecting friends and other common things in anime. But the one outstanding simmilaritywould be the mood of those series which keep you want more event after watching 10 eps one after another.
In a world where Gods reincarnate themselves into the bodies of humans, Athena is the Guardian of Earth. Together with her 88 Saints, she must protect the Earth against other gods whose sole purpose is to take over her position and extend their realm; it has been so for thousands of years. In this age, Athena, along with her Bronze Saints Seiya, Shiryu, Ikki, Hyoga and Shun, will have to counter the evil plans of a traitor amongst her midst who rejects her identity and nominates himself as the sole lord of Athena’s Saints. Being the only ones behind the true Athena, Seiya and the others will have to battle their way through countless Saints to unmask this impostor.
Here you have young warriors who always have the odds against them but never give up and they´re always ready to face any enemy that threatens to destroy the Earth. Team work and perseverence are the key to victory.
SS and DBZ are very similar, as both have that old-school anime element to them. Just like in BBZ, In SS the saints overcome the odds for relying on their emotions and reach unpresedented powers. If you like DBZ you will love SS.
Some years into the future, a strange, unexplainable natural disaster has broken off a piece of the Japanese mainland. Known as the Lost Ground, it is now inhabited by people with Alters -- machine-like extensions of their own will. In order to keep the peace on the Lost Ground, the HOLY organization uses its own Alter capabilists to police the region. In the midst of the chaos is a young man named Kazuma, whose life will soon change forever as he discovers his hidden abilities, and how to wield them.
Like Dragonball Z, Scryed also focuses on different fighters with fantastic fighting abilities. It's a lot deeper than DBZ though, there's much more character and plot development. While not a mind-boggler as such, the characters are much more complex than in DBZ, and their actions and motivations are open to interpretation - a good thing if you ask me.
Both Dragon Ball Z and Scryed have some heavily super powered people, but what I found incredibly similar was the rivalry between the two main characters. The characters have a love/hate relationship which pushes their abilities to their max.
Following the disaster wrought upon the world by a mysterious being called ‘Akira’, Neo Tokyo is now in social and economic turmoil. In such a decaying city, feisty Kaneda and his shy friend Tetsuo survive by running around in a biker gang, chasing local rivals and generally evading the police. Everything changes, however, when Tetsuo crashes into a strange-looking boy during a bike chase and the military ends up taking him away. When he eventually returns to his friends, he’s no longer the same weak little boy they always knew – in fact, a military experiment has turned him into something beyond human imagination. While the military is intent on reclaiming its specimen at any cost, Tetsuo is sick of being bullied around and is about to show everyone, including his friend Kaneda, exactly who is boss.
the animation style seems very similar. also the fighting and power techniques in dragon ball z reminded me of the ones used by tetsuo.
