I think Dragon Ball Z when it was over was like nothing can top this and still the Dragon Ball GT - GT standing fro Goku & Trunks or some people say it stands for Grand Tour. It really doesn't matter what it stands for, but the bad thing about this one is that Akira Toriyama isn't the artist no more. So my opinion on it is it really doesn't have the must and thunder that Dragon Ball Z had. I mean Dragon Ball Z at one time had no end. It went well over 400 episodes. As when all this began, I mean the 1984 - 86 years of Dragon Ball. I remember when I went to Japan and experienced face on what anime was. In 1985 when I went all those good anime robotic blow it hell type series came out. It is still wildly or more even than it was when it began now. Anyway getting back to Dragon Ball, lets see when i was in Japan I got to see a small peek at the original Dragon Ball show. I didn't think much about it. I too was lets say obsessed with the robo anime stuff. Dragon Ball in my mind then was crap, and only crap, but hey if you didn't have Dragon Ball, there would not be Dragon Ball Z or so on.

I mean Akira Toriyama had to start small at sometime that is just how it is folks. If you think, oh I can walk up to a movie studio and get a job like that. Well your chances at that are 1- 1,000,000 or so. That is almost the way anime works to. You can't go drawing crap and expect people to go nuts over it. The people who can draw anime are very good and took loads of time and experience to become famous or whatever you want to say they become.

Dragon Ball Series Overview, In 1984 the Dragon Ball Series first came out which consist of about few episodes, but really the main result about the first Dragon Ball Series was it was a down right Junk. If you were 5,6,7 you would find this a great show, but give me a break, this ain't anime many people say. Well like I said above you got to start somewhere my friends. FUNimation did make OAV series out of this Dragon Ball series, 5 of them. Actually the OAV were nicely done. Overall I have seen worse anime series in my times and yes this is not the worst. Dragon Ball might be a kiddy crap series but it does got some attack and a well organized plot and so on.

Fast Time line, Planet Vegita gets destroyed by Freeza and only Goku,Nappa,Radditz, and Vegita are the soul- survives. Goku on his way to earth where he later kills his new grandfather and receive the first dragon ball which officially begins the adventure. Goku meets Burma and they hit it off and Goku finds out that Burma also has a dragon ball but with more stars in it. Goku gets trained by Master Roshi Goku become friends with Krilylin after a kung-fu type match. Goku and Krilylin train together. Goku goes with his gang on a world wide search for the dragon balls. They find them all they summon the dragon and I forget what happens. Anyway, Goku does fight enemies, many end up becoming his friends some do not, like one the first bad egg characters Pilaf. Anyway, find the original videos at a local video store or go to a comic store they usually sale them.
