You probably hear many many many... many people complaining that Dragon Ball has basically no plot the story sucks and Kid Goku is annoying. Im gonna have to say being active in the Dragon Ball community for over five years and having seen this show and Z about seven times all the way through all of those are wrong. I mean the show doesnt have an outstanding plot or story but theyre enjoyable and fun. If you sense any form of bias in this review it might be because this is my all time favorite show but right here Im going to explain why its my favorite. The story as Ive said previously is nothing impressive. You probably wont have to put on your thinking caps to analyze some deep meaningful plotline you just get to sit back and enjoy a fun and excited action/adventure shonen show. A lot of fights have amazing choreography the story is simple but sweet and the slice of life aspects of this show are just as good if not better. The Red Ribbon Army arc is easily my favorite it has so many iconic villains the fights are very entertaining and its just such a good time. Its truly an endearing show that I hope youll enjoy if you decide to check it out. Now this section I will probably be very biased because honestly Im absolutely in love with Toriyamas art style. Its simple unique and to me beautiful. I love seeing fanart of it and I love seeing the alternate cover pages he puts at the end of the manga. His art style is my favorite out of any other but of course thats just me so give this show a try and form your own opinion on the art. The voice acting? Nothing special and arguably poor but not for its time. The soundtrack? Exciting up beat feelgood music makes you wanna dance always makes me smile when the theme songs instrumental version plays in fights and the ending song animates a lot of the cover art from the manga and... I know Ive already said this about the art style but Im absolutely IN LOVE with the ending song/video. The song is nice and sweet and the video is absolutely spectacular. Its always a good time with the Dragon Ball soundtrack. I have listened to the full soundtrack on loop. I love it. Even if you dont plan on watching this show check out the soundtrack and see if you like it. Now for the characters. Lets start with the second character we ever see in the show Bulma Brief. I dont wanna say too much about her to keep things a mystery if youre not familiar with Dragon Ball Which I doubt you arent because who hasnt heard of this show but just in case ya know? but I can tell you that her personality isnt very likable. She complains just about 24/7 always looks on the negative side of things is rarely happy really is only happy when shes screwing someone over etc. but she does have some very good moments and some spectacular moments. Also her design in this series not necessarily Z is one of my favorite designs in anime. Its so appealing sometimes not so much but most of the time its amazing. Her design was real good when she first met Master Roshi if you know what I mean ... actually you probably dont know what I mean because if youre reading this review chances are you dont know who Master Roshi is because you probably havent seen the show. Let me enlighten you. Master Roshi is the master of martial arts as hes called by the public hes an extremely skilled fighter despite his appearance. Hes also the master of perversion which leads to many funny moments in the show. Roshi is most likely the inspiration for many perverted old men in anime down the line such as Jiraiya from Naruto. Hes a legendary and underrated character. His moments with Launch are always amusing. Oh yeah Launch is the women that ends up living with Roshi Youll have to watch the show to figure out why a girl would willingly live with this man and in this series shes Dragon Balls best girl which is later changed to another character in Dragon Ball Z I wont spoil who. I might leave that for my Z review . Wanna know my least favorite character in this show? Thats right Yamcha. Yeah yeah I know its a huge meme to make fun of him and all that but hes genuinely a bad character. He does almost nothing for the show and you could take him out and not much would change. He does help in a big way like... once... but thats about it. He doesnt have the best personality either. Hes just kind of there to be there really. Now the moment youve all been waiting for... the best character in the show... Goku. Goku is a twelve year old boy who was trained by his grandfather in martial arts but hes not too good with the common sense. Hes an extremely innocent and completely pure hearted boy that really just wants to eat and fight strong people. Hes a simple character but a very lovable one. Honestly every character in this show is lovable in their own way. Yes even Yamcha... he has SOME good moments. But Goku he blows all the other characters out of the water. Hes hilarious adorable endearing honest and just a fun person in general. The characters in this show are truly something else. Wow the character portion was pretty darn long... sorry about that lol. Anyways I definitely give this show a 10/10. You guys will most likely have varying ratings but as I have a personal connection to this show it has a very special place in my heart. Even without a personal connection its still one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever watched in my love. Its so much fun and I really really hope you give it a try.
