My Dragon Ball series Review
Dragon Ball: This series is centered on a boy name Goku who lives in the forest by himself. That change when he meets a girl name Bulma who's looking for the Dragon Balls, there are seven of them with all seven you can get one wish. So Goku and Bulma go on adventures to find the Dragon balls and meet new people.
This is kind of an underrated series I say that because I don't hear people talk about this as much as DBZ. This anime holds up better than DBZ!
The fans: Boo! Boo! Boo!
Me: Whoa! Hear me out!
The reason I like this more than its follow-up show is because it's lighthearted, tells a consistent story, has character development and the series can be serious at times. (I'm not saying DBZ don't have some of those things however that series seems to focus more on fighting then telling a story.) This anime isn't just about people looking for the Dragon balls. The world in this series feels like a fantasy land, we have dinosaurs, shapeshifters, talking animals and a boy with a tall what more do you want? I enjoy the fights in this series more than DBZ because they don't have a lot of Kai blast and the fighters use different fighting styles. My favorite story in this anime is the King Piccolo story that's because things was suspenseful in that tale. Plus, it breaks away for this series formula.
Goku is a kindhearted boy. I'm fond to see him become what he is in DBZ. The fish out of water jokes work well for the most part. My gripe with him is what he had to do to tell if someone is a female.
Bulma is a spoiled lazy brat! I say that because the reason why she wants the dragon balls is because she wants a boyfriend, I'm not kidding about that. My gripe with her is she can be hard to be around due to her short temper.
Krillin is a street-smart kid who is a bit jaded.
Master Roshi is Goku and Krillin's mentor, he's humorous and wise. what bugs me about him is that he's a pervert he should keep that under control around his students. Also, there is a better way to teach his lesson about humility to Goku and Krillin without him getting involved. Because Master Roshi is so goofy it's hard to take him seriously, when he meets his rival, he acts like a child.

Yamcha is a cocky desert Bandit who's afraid of talking to girls, why!?! Him overcoming his fear of talking to girls could have been better.
Emperor Pilaf (one of the villains.) is the comic relief. I'm surprised that he and Bulma are not best friends because there both spoiled. Emperor Pilaf has no reason to want the dragon balls because he's an Emperor want more do you want?
King Piccolo (another adversary.) is crafty, ruthless, sadistic and arrogant.
The problem I have with this anime is Goku outshines some of the characters, don't worry it's not as bad as DBZ. I wish there are rules for using the Dragon Balls. I mean if I was the dragon, I wouldn't gain wishes that you can get like if you wish to lose 100 pounds, I wouldn't gain that wish because that's something you can fix. There are plot holes with how characters can learn techniques. The series has some jokes that wouldn't be appropriate for kids.
Overall, this is a good start to this franchise. I would recommend this if you like action/adventure.
