a5c7b9f00b Follows the adventures of an extraordinarily strong young boy named Gokuhe searches for the seven dragon balls. These balls, when combined, can grant the owner any one wish he desires. Along the way he makes many new friends, and enemies, and he trains to become the strongest fighter in the world.
The Dragon Ball series takes place in a sort of trilogy, beginning with "Dragon Ball," the hit sensation "Dragon Ball Z," and the anime-only "Dragon Ball GT." However, for some retarded reason, the original "Dragon Ball" was the last of the three shows to be introduced in America, and for those of us who practically grew up on the octane/steroid/plutonium fueled fights of "Dragon Ball Z," the first edition of the series is underwhelming, almost cartoonish (which is expected, considered that it was probably made for kids…).<br/><br/>Dragon Ball follows the exploits of a 10 to 12-year-old Goku and co. on their journey to find the legendary Dragon Balls, which, when gathered, can grant their user one wish. Along the way, the good guys must match strength and wits with the evil Emperor Pilaff (the blue midget whose voice actor sounds a lot like Garlic Jr.), the Red Ribbon Army (those same guys who made the Androids in Dragon Ball Z), and, of course, the demon Piccolo (later revealed to be an alien when it was revealed in Z that nine tenths of the characters are actually aliens!).<br/><br/>As the anime that started it all, it's entertaining enough, but after sitting through the first two "sagas" of Dragon Ball Z, you can't help but wonder when the heck they start powering up. The gargantuan power levels which drive the plot of Z haven't yet been achieved, meaning that the story line is driven less by pure action and more by actual questing. As Goku and his fellow fighters grow (which is EXTREMELY slow but steady), they pick up new techniques, but up until the Piccolo saga, those techniques alone aren't the driving force of the story. Instead of fighting guys with huge muscles, raging auras, and death beams, they take on giant robots, goofy-looking monsters, and, in the case of Goku, the entire Red Ribbon Army, all while taking the time to admire the strange and beautiful world they live in before it gets trashed by those guys from outer space one show later.<br/><br/>The "sagas" of the show aresuch: Intro arc, Tournament, Red Ribbon army, next Tournament, Piccolo, and that Tournament with Piccolo. When our heroes aren't looking for the Dragon Balls (which, oddly enough, are actually included in the story line), they're at the World Martial Arts Tournament, showcasing their fancy new techniques that are meant to incapacitate or take out their opponent (as opposed to, say, wiping out half the F$^&%NG planet). <br/><br/>The first two sagas involve a lot of hijinks, including a villain who can't even take himself seriously and a Tournament between Goku, Master Roshi, and a bunch of cartoon animals. The next two sagas showcase the firepower that the sadistic Red Ribbon Army is willing to unleash in their search for the Dragon Balls, while introducing "Tien," the first uber-powerful antagonist to be introduced in the series, in time for the second Tournament. The final chunk of the show deals with the dreaded "King Piccolo" and the heroes' efforts to stop him from wiping out civilizationwe know it, including Goku's ascension into the (adult) hero we all know and love.<br/><br/>There was also a little, five-episode deal after the final Tournament where Goku had to save the Ox King from a killer volcano that was consuming his house or something, which ends with Goku and Chi-Chi's wedding and that witch-lady telling everyone what's in store for the future, and then the voice-over guy says, "If you wanna see what kind of WACKY and ZANY adventures await our heroes, stay tuned for Dragon Ball Z!" (I looked into the crystal ball and saw Radditz flick a bullet right through a farmer, leaving him in a bloody heap. Then there was blood, violent punch, more blood, Radditz blows up a mountain, Goku dies in a bloody heap inside the FIRST FOUR EPISODES! Then there's Vegeta, Frieza, a combo of Frieza and Vegeta, death, death, violent punch, a combo of Goten and Trunks, a combo of Goku and Vegeta, a combo of Buu, Goku, Vegeta and whoever else he ate, more death, more death, lot of lights, earth rumbles beneath our feet, more death…oh, Trunks and Goten are doing show tunes, that's pretty zany…oh, they just died when the planet blew up, there's some Mortal Kombat music…)<br/><br/>Best viewed if you can ignore or disregard the fact that the major characters end up becoming WMD's and that this show with such a care-free, adventurous attitude ends up evolving (or devolving, depending on your point of view) into a perpetual slugfest between plutonium-powered aliens with the fate of the not-so-care-free universe at stake. If you're a fan of the actual Dragon Balls (as opposed to the shows, movies, and video games named after them), that also helps…
First off, I'm surprised there aren't many reviews or messages for DragonBall. This is the first review in 2 years. Now, to talk about the DragonBall franchise, clearly it has been a successful franchise worldwide. However, when we think about the franchise, most of us think about DragonBall Z. I even prefer DragonBall Z over DragonBall, and both of them are a lot better than DragonBall GT. Let's face it, Toriyama is the only one who can write the DragonBall series, they can have filler like they do throughout the series with even good sagas like the Garlic Jr. Saga, but if somebody else tries to come up with their own stories, it will fail.<br/><br/>As we know, DragonBall Z came out in America before DragonBall even though DragonBall is the earlier series, and again it seems like Z is more popular. From what I heard, the reason the companies started with Z in America before DragonBall is because they thought DragonBall Z would attract more viewers, which it probably did. Even in DragonBall Z, sometimes they show earlier scenes from DragonBall, and talked about what happened earlier, enough where you don't need to watch the earlier series to get the latter series. DragonBall didn't come on TV in America, on Toonami until 2001. The company also didn't dogood of a job editing the episodes, I mean in Z they have totally different music from Bruce Faulconer. In this series, the main difference is just the dub.<br/><br/>Now, when we think of the DragonBall series, one of the first things that comes to our mind is a Super Saiyan. Super Saiyans are big from the Frieza Saga on. In DragonBall, there are no Super Saiyans. We see Goku with his tail and transform into a Great Ape a couple of times. The Saiyan tails and Great Apes almost seemed forgotten in DragonBall Z after the Saiyan Saga. Also, considering we don't know what a Saiyan is yet we also don't get to know one of the main characters through the rest of the series, Vegeta. He isn't in DragonBall. Despite not getting to know one of our favorite characters Vegeta, or even any other Saiyan or Half-Saiyan,Half-Saiyans weren't born in DragonBall, we get to know Gokua kid. We also get to know most of the human characters we know in DragonBall Z, and they play a bigger role in the series. As we know, that how in a lot of DragonBall Z, only the Saiyans stood a chance against the villains. <br/><br/>What else differs in this series, well the series is called DragonBall, and the latter series is DragonBall Z. When we think of the series, we mostly think about the action even when it is called DragonBall. In this earlier series, they seem to show more of their hunting for DragonBalls, which can make it more adventurous. So, that makes it more fun. They also seem to have more World Martial Arts Tournaments,those weren't big in DragonBall Z until the Majin Buu Saga. We have interesting World Martial Arts Matches where Master Roshi, who is almost of no use in DragonBall Z is Jackie Chun and one of the top competitors. We also don't get to know Mr. Satan who was the main World Martial Arts Competitor in Z.<br/><br/>The fighting in this series is also more simple, because in DragonBall Z even when their power levels kept getting higher, the fighting mostly seemed the same where it would be really fast that normal people couldn't see. Where the fighting and power would shake the entire planet. Characters powering up screaming to their fullest power by going Super Saiyan and killing them with an energy attack knownKi. Power Level is hardly mentioned in DragonBall. Also, in DragonBall it seems like the villains want World Domination, in Z they want universal domination, so in terms of fighting a more simple series. <br/><br/>If you're at all a fan of DragonBall Z, then this series is for you. It will be almostenjoyable, if not more enjoyable than DragonBall Z. I don't know see how you could not like it, and it's nice to see the continuous storyline and the earlier parts when Goku and Krillin were cute kids. I give this series a 10/10.

Dragonball - Evolution was released in 2009, after years of speculation and rumors. It has since been released on home video. Dragon Ball (the original series, not Z or GT) has been released on DVD 3 times.<br/><br/>1) The first release was the Kidmark release, which only covered the first 13 episodes of the series. However, this set was edited, and dub only. It featured the older voice actors who did not participate on later FUNimation dubs/projects/etc.<br/><br/>2) FUNimation released "saga set" DVDs around 2003. These were totally uncut and even featured both dub and sub audio tracks. Unfortunately, they did not release the first 13 episodes due to licensing difficulties.<br/><br/>3) FUNimation released "season sets" (five in all) in 2009-2010. This was the first "complete series" release in America, and featured the entire series in uncut form for the first time. These sets are what I recommend getting. 21st - Goku, Krillin, Jackie Chun (actually Master Roshi in disguise), Bacterian, Ran Fan, Yamcha, Giran, and Nam. Fighters in the preliminaries included fighters from Krillin's old temple. Jackie Chun won this tournament, very narrowly beating Goku.<br/><br/>22nd - Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Panput, Man-Wolf, Jackie Chun. Fighters in the preliminaries included King Chappa and Nam. Tien and Goku fought very evenly, though Tien eventually won because Goku got hit by a truck outside the arena at one point during the fight.<br/><br/>23rd - Chi-Chi, Goku, Krillin, Tien, Piccolo Jr., Cyborg Tao, Hero (Kami in a human body), Yamcha. Fighters in the preliminaries included Chiaotzu, King Chappa, and a masked Yajirobe. After a huge epic battle, Goku narrowly won, making this the only tournament Goku ever won!
