Considering how much blood and swearing there is in DBZ, it is not for children. I'd pick DBZ though. Vegeta is the best.
Edit: Since you said Dragon Ball (not Z) in the title, it would still fit as a not-kids show. If you disregard him patting everyone on the crotch to check for their balls.... I guess it could be for children. Oh yeah, and the scene where bulma pulls her robe up.
If we are comparing The Last Airbender to the original DBZ series, then defiantly Avatar, but if we are comparing The Last Airbender to DBZ Kai, then that is a little harder to choose.
Avatar is probably one of the best series on Nicktoons in a long time. The story is engaging, characters slowly develop and become more mature over the course of the seasons, it gets surprisingly dark in some of the later episodes, and it has a very epic and satisfying ending. There is a new series coming out next summer called The Legend of Korra, which stars new characters with cameos/flashbacks of the original characters of The Last Airbender, and will have a darker story. Can’t wait for it!
I never liked the original DBZ series due to its many problems. It has annoying hard rock music, nearly 90% of nothing but filler, and 5-20 episodes long fighting and charging up scenes. DBZ has an extremely slow plot that usually goes nowhere for God knows how many episodes and takes forever to just for something to happen. I choose Kai over the original any day.
For those that don't know what Kai is, it's a remastered version of DBZ. Since it’s remastered, they fix most (if not all) of the problems that the original had. About all of the filler is cut out and matches more to the original Manga it's based on. All that filler cut out makes the plot flow at a much better pace. It’s a lot less painful to watch now. For those who didn’t like the original, I highly recommend you catch it on Nicktoons, or buy the DVDs to watch them uncensored and see if you like it now. Just a warning about Kai: Since the original Manga ended at the Cell saga, there will not be a Buu saga or GT (IMO, I never really cared for them, so it’s not a problem for me).
Anyway, final verdict: I choose Avatar: The Last Airbender. Even though I like DBZ Kai a lot, I like the characters and story more in The Last Airbender. DBZ just repeats the plot every time they meet a new enemy: New enemy appears, main characters fight it and lose, they go get more powerful somehow, then go fight the enemy again and kill him, rinse and repeat.

Are you talking about the original? I watched the one with blood and stuff when I was like 7 O_o haha. The new one is stupid as hell, there's no blood no nothing.
EDIT: I found on youtube. That show was REALLY dirty :blink.gif:
This is a hard decision. I like DBZ because of Vegeta. But then again, Avatar is far more fun and doesn't have everybody screaming in almost every episode.
So Avatar.

Ah, 2012. The year where a lot of dates occur.
Start of the Solar Maximum, and the Age of Aquarius.

That's because Nicktoons censored it. If you want to watch it uncensored, go buy the Kai series on DVD. You can thank me later.
At least there's more of a point to each episode in Avatar and you can watch an episode and not miss much of the past, whereas in DBZ you kinda have to watch everything beforehand. That's my only complaint, though, and I still definitely like DBZ (and DB) more than Avatar.
Maan now my only complaint about Avatar is that it never got dirty like Dragonball (haha just kidding) or am I..... That LifeBender Lady was banging hot.
The show is extrememly high quality. It won awards...
The show is a perfect example of a fantasy world done right. It's very similar to our world...but it isn't. It applys female characters to a role that makes them either God-Stomping, or Badass. None of them are damsels in distress, they can fight, and hell, they do it anyways.
The animation is smooth, and realistic. The characters are dynamic, and are believable. They are kids about my age who do badass things. I may have not watched Dragonball, but I'm not very convinced by buffed up people and flashy attacks. Avatar State + Enraged Ocean spirit = RUN LIKE HELL.
The plot of the show is really good, and the characters all get their moments, not to mention that all characters have their development. Look at Prince Zuko of Season 1, and Prince Zuko of Season 3. Huge difference.
Really, I could go on, but I rather not.
This.
I re-watched the series over and over again about 5 times.
And honestly, this is the only cartoon series i only watched beginning to end. Let alone multiple times.
I though Avatar was OK at first. Then Nicktoons started showing the entire show 9 times over. I like Dragon Ball Z because it has cool characters. I doubt the avatar state could get past SSJ5 Gogeta :smile.gif:

Are you saying the show was terrible because it aired a lot?
When I was posting this, I was thinking THE EXACT SAME THING hahaha!

Ehh I'm not enough of a fan to buy it. I'll just look up the dirty things on youtube :wink.gif:
Mhm. dbzepisode.org for example.
Implying some punches and a ten episode long conversation makes a battle.
That sounds exciting.
The conversations usually go:
"AAAAAAGGHHHH!!!!"
"HUUUUUURRGGGGHHH!!!"
"KYAA!"
"Hmm. Hahaha."
And then the episode ends. Also, I feel this is necessary to link:
