Dragonball Z
(Prepare yourself for the longest ever fights...)
I'm not going to write pages, trying to justify my opinion. But here it is: Dragonball is basically an adventure-orientated manga, with lots of humour. Dragonball Z is basically just an excuse for a lot of fights.
Dragonball Z is set 8 years after the end of Dragonball. Son Goku has married Chi Chi and now has a son: Son Gohan. Master Roshi is still a dirty old bastard. And I won't waste any more space telling you stuff that you could find out by reading the 1st graphic novel.
Basically, all the cast is just meeting each other when suddenly the find out a startling revelation about Goku. Soon, the stage is set for everyone to go off again, and beat up loads of aliens.
After each fight, our heroes become more powerful, but so too do their enemies. I'd say about 89% of the panels in this series depict our heroes participating in fight after fight, with the special powers becoming ever more destructive. The rest of the story is basically just an attempt to generate another excuse for a fight.
That's all I can really tell you. Some parts of the manga were censored for the animé, and some new parts were created. Therefore, the animé is totally different from the manga.
Personally, I mildly enjoy reading this, but that's basically just because I know the characters from the original Dragonball manga.
If you love the animé, or love Dragonball, you may be interested to read this. Otherwise, don't bother.
