Hmm...what can I say about Dragon Ball Z? Nice voices, good entertainment, but the music is kinda cheesy. Mainly aimed at young boys with all the physical and supernatural fighting as well as the blood and muscle factor. . . .meaning that the men (and some women) in the series have "rock" muscles that bulge out. Just look at the picture and you'll understand what I mean. ^_^;   Goku, the main character, is an alien from another planet who crashed into Earth when he was a little baby. He is a Saiyan, which are super-strong warriors from another planet who lives to destroy planets and be the strongest in the universe. But unlike the rest of the Saiyans, Goku is a pretty good guy. And because he is a Saiyan, he has super-strength as well as super-attacks, and the ability to sort-of fly. He makes friends easily and always comes to the rescue whenever someone or the universe is in danger... especially when bad guys (mainly Saiyans) come fighting either in search of the magical dragon balls (which have the power to grant any wish) or to take over Earth...Big Surprise.

Sorry everyone, but I give DBZ an average rating. The animation, music, and dubbing are pretty much average. The plot is predictable most of the time. The general plot wanders around the idea of the Earth being in trouble and Goku and friends fighting the bad guys to protect it. Almost everyone has some kind of fighting skill and some even have the power to "fuse" and/or "power-up". The fighting scenes usually take up most of the time on the show (and the movies-I watched the first 2 subbed). Note that the show is very bloody and gory. A mix of comedy and fighting, Dragon Ball Z is recommended for you fighting/action-lovers out there.
