Dragon Ball

An amazingly unique concept with heartwarming storyline and screenplay. As you watch it you feel light and stress free. Amazingly binging.

The first (and the best, in my opinion) Dragon Ball series.

Very underrated to this very day , being often overlooked in order to focus only in the events from Dragon Ball Z...But honestly, skipping the original Dragon Ball as a whole, if anything lessens all the enjoyement the sequel series could have.

If I have started watching Dragon Ball Z without having seen Dragon Ball first (Like many fans from the United States did) I would have been completely lost, completely unable to follow the story and the way the characters interact.

In Dragon Ball we are able to witness the very beginning of Goku's journey and how he meet his friends, and the way he kept improving himself as a fighter. The emotional impact of the deaths of some characters in the first arc of Dragon Ball Z is largely connected with the original series.

Piccolo's transition from villain to hero is not as good without having the chance of seeing how he firstly appeared in the series as the main antagonist. (And honestly, is the most convincing redemption arc from Dragon Ball, along with the change of heart Tenshinhan had)

Some people dismiss the series simply because of its whimsical nature, focusing mostly in the "serious" parts (Like the Frieza and Cell saga), but being fun and whimsical is precisely one of the biggest charms Dragon Ball as whole has, opposed to other, more dramatic fighting shonen anime, including those series inspired by Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super have tried to capture the same kind of charm the original series had, without success.

One of the best and underrated anime, so many people just skip og dragon ball and watch dragon ball z But this is one of the best anime I have ever seen 🔥

Dragonball is one of the best cartoons ever made. Dragonball Z is a bit disapointing compared to this one. Dragonball tells the story of Son Goku, a kid with a tail(?), who's origin is really explained only on Dragonball Z, and the story is all made up around 7 crystal balls that when all are together, allow you to ask any wish to the Dragon. It doesn't have all those "Super" stuff of Dragonball Z, all characters have different combat tactics and special moves, and they obtain their skills through hard training and not fury or spells. For Dragonball Z fans, if you want to see Bulma still young and more beautiful, Yamcha still an honourable fighter and Piccolo a bad guy, you have to see this!

I have watched this show and i guarantee its good. Well it may start off a little slow but it gets really good. It's child friendly and adults will enjoy it too. Like Dragonball Z and Dragonball Gt it will keep your interest. The fighting and powers of the warriors can keep children and adults all over the world amused. The show does have a little bit humor to it than the other two series, but thats what it was originally created for. The humor doesn't stop the show from having a good plot. Throughout the show they have great adventures and they always meet new allies and villains. To the last comment, I wouldn't say that your comment wasn't true, but I don't want to say it was true. The creators have made special uncut versions, but those must be bought on DVD or VHS. The edited version airs on television. They just wouldn't put extreme adult content on a show for children. So, what if a few of the characters like girl magazines and one is obsessed with females its all part of the humor. There are no female body parts that are revealed in the show, not even on the uncut versions. So, when i was reading the last comment I figured that the person who wrote must be misjudged. Watch the edited version. If you are not offended by anything enjoy the uncut version which is more adult oriented.
