This is the Greatest Anime of all Time! The countless cartoons and animes that are inspired by Dragonball Z is not even near the epicness the Anime series contains.Everyone's already said it but if you havent seen it then what are you waiting for?

YEAH! This was why I loved anime and had a sense of humor! It's very exciting and funny and the voice-acting for the original in Japanese and most of the dubs are awesome. It can be weird, but personally I usually don't mind weird. I love this series!

Even though im an anime hater, this is my favorite series of all times. So i guess it speaks for itself how good it is. 20 years later and still nothing falls even close, and all nowaday top animes are all rip-offs of this one (im talking about naruto, bleach, 1 piece etc).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only anime I've ever watched regularly. Great array of characters, great humour, beautiful animation, compelling stories (particularly Saiyan/Frieza sagas), brutal violence, and moral messages that don't beat around the bush. Pacing is the only problem... kids may find the original episodes frustrating. But there are new shortened versions available. I remember going nuts as a kid when they would stare at each other for 20 minutes and then the episode would end after a single energy wave. But it did keep me in suspense I guess. My favourite moment from series one is when the bad guy Nappa gets a massive spinal injury from our protagonist, and is lying on the ground unable to feel his legs. Vegeta, Nappa's more powerful ally, decides he is not useful anymore and has shamed his ancestry by losing to weak humans... so he incinerates his lifelong friend with an energy wave. Awesome.… Expand
