Classic show that still holds up today.
Dragon Ball, where do I even start with this iconic show. Well, I guess I'll take it in a part by part evaluation. Personally, I absolutely love this show maybe this is due to me watching an overflow of shows with heavy themes or stuff that tries to take itself to seriously but Dragon Ball has none…
Read full review on AniList →My all-time favorite show
You probably hear many, many, many... many people complaining that Dragon Ball has basically no plot, the story sucks, and Kid Goku is annoying. I'm gonna have to say, being active in the Dragon Ball community for over five years and having seen this show and Z about seven times all the way through,…
Read full review on AniList →Comparing Dragon Ball To It’s Sequels (minor spoilers)
# __INTRO__
I didn't make this review to slander the sequels but honestly I find this better than the sequels because of the original fighting aspect of the series. Compared to the sequels that introduce transformations and forms and beams (even though OG Dragon Ball had beams too) this series still…
Read full review on AniList →An all around great anime, but rough around the edges
Before we start, I just have to say I LOVE THIS SHOW. At first, I didn't understand why it was so important to watch if you like Dragon Ball Z, because most skip straight to Z and don't watch the original. But, now that I've finished, I can confidently say that if you enjoy DBZ, or even DBS, you wil…
Read full review on AniList →While an amazing anime, Dragon Ball finds itself stifled in its more serious arcs by the style of its director.
Now, before anyone gets mad about my review synopsis, let me state that I do in fact love this anime. If you look at my rating for this review, I have it at a 80/100, I do quite like Dragon Ball, if I didn't I wouldn't have rewatched all 153 episodes (in addition to the 3 movies and 2 PSAs). If you…
Read full review on AniList →Criminally underwatched prequel origin story, arguably required watching
I’ll admit, I’m one of those millennial casuals who first watched Dragon Ball Z on TV and had little to no interest in watching the original Dragon Ball, since DBZ already got me hooked on over-the-top martial arts, flying, and magical beams.
Years later, after Dragon Ball Z finished its English ai…
Read full review on AniList →Best Dragon Ball series and better than the manga because there is no Boo Saga in this and pallet swap power ups.
Dragon Ball's anime is one of few anime that manage to make people outside of Japan into anime fans. Until that point the term wasn't common. It's also the series that people believe set all the standards for fighting shonen, which it didn't, but perhaps popularized it.
The Dragon Ball anime is adap…
Read full review on AniList →Would have been great if not for the pacing
The anime starts with the meeting of Goku and Bulma, how Goku accompanies her to the collection of Dragon *****, and how on the way they meet various characters that we will continue to see in the future, their struggle battles and pervy jokes and action.
