Dragon Ball

What starts off as an unusual re-telling of a Chinese legend called "Journey to the West" immediately turns into into pure madness!! On a twisted version of earth, the amazingly strong child named Son Gokuu goes on a quest to find the magical dragon balls with his friends Bulma and Oolong. Once all 7 dragon balls are gathered and the dragon is called, the sky will darken and the dragon will grant any one wish within its power. Unfortunately, only one wish can be granted per year and after the wish is granted, the dragon balls scatter across the earth and turn into stones. Within 365 days, they will once again become magical dragon balls. Dragon Ball is the funniest anime I have ever seen. From Master Roshi and Oolong's hentai "problems" to Gokuu trying a Kamehameha for the very first time!

I just finished watching this series, and I have to say this is one of the best shows on television.

Dragon Ball is considered a prequel of the more famous Dragon Ball Z, but I have to say that after watching it, Dragon Ball stands as a legitimate show on its own. It is a much better counterpart to DBZ than GT is. It may seem a bit childish at the beginning, but the show matures as the characters do as well. The show is funny too.

Compared with Z, Dragon Ball is more about the basics of fighting while Z harnesses advanced techniques. Overall I would say the fighting in Dragon Ball is actually better than Z while the plot in Z is better than Dragon Ball (though this is not to say that either are bad in anyway)

I highly recommend watching it and see the excitement of Goku's journey.

Take a look!

I enjoyed every episode very much.I loved kid goku's innocence and courage.

I can't explain how much amazing is this series, at first I think of skipping it as it is to old and will be boring but I'm that kind of person who loves to understand the whole concept so I stared watching it. The beginning of the series it is so hilarious that I completely loved it and creates some interest in me but when the series started to go further it becomes little bit boring to watch it till 60 episodes I guess so I decided to watch the episode ASAP but then when the 2nd world martial arts competition begins it was so freaken awesome to watch it and from this there whole series just got changed I loved it. The final fight was awesome and the starting to something new then I just feel like uhhh now here we go again but I was completely wrong as the series continues to amaze me, the pikolo arc was the best and turst me I did not expect some thing like this from a anime from 1986 (and cretes intrest in me to watch more anime to that time). The series just got amazing and I loved it so much.
