I have been watching DragonBall Z, for 15 years since 1999. I own some of the Season DVDs you can buy online or sometimes find in places like Walmart. Dragon Ball Z is timeless, I mean it's interesting to think how the episodes you watched aired in the USA in the late '90s early 2000s, and they even aired earlier in Japan in the '80s and '90s. Watching this show years later, it does not look old or lose it's appeal, some of the graphics from the older episodes, mostly DragonBall look a little old. DragonBall Z is the version they started out with in the USA before DragonBall thinking DragonBall Z would get more viewers. It used to be on Cartoon Network on Toonami. They later would have DragonBall be part of Toonami to show the origin of the story. Then, they'd later do DragonBall GT, but DragonBall GT is non- cannon and written by somebody else. Most of us don't like GT as much. By all means, DragonBall Z has been a huge success. I've read interviews from the guy who wrote the series on the Manga, Akira Toriyama. He did not anticipate the series going on for so long. From what I read, Toriyama did not think much about writing after the first Saga Emperor Pilaf when he started the series. He would later think of ending the series after the Frieza and Cell Sagas. But, the success of the series had him continue writing it and coming up with new awesome story lines. Obviously, the series was awesome enough for him to continue writing it. Though some of the things he wrote did not seem well thought out of and he was probably trying to hurry up the series. For example, most of us do not like the series finale of DragonBall Z. There were also some things Toriyama obviously either forgot or stopped caring about from older episodes to later episodes. I personally am amazed at the success of DragonBall Z. People still talk about that show regularly even when it no longer is airing. I've worked at Amazon and some of the most popular franchise I saw on the shelves would be from DragonBall Z, mostly DVDs. You can also see so many clips from the show on YouTube and so many searches on Google for DragonBall Z showing it's a living legend. On YouTube if you want to hear about people who are fans of the series and have thought well of questions we have of the series and how to answer them you can go to Blackenfist and Qaamans Land. You can also Google Search any episode throughout the entire series, you could do a search on any attack, any character even like a background character from one episode. You can basically search like any noun that is from the DragonBall Z World and your top results will most likely be DragonBall Wiki where you can get a full in depth view on your search for what is known about it. So, I've talked about the success of DragonBall Z, I'll now talk about what makes it a good TV show. Well, it has a really good story line you're likely to get into if it interests you, and like a Soap Opera although this show isn't a Soap Opera, the story line is continuous where each episode continues where the last one left off, and the episodes frequently end at an exciting part where we will want to see what happens next. The show by all means is an empowering show, when I watch it I'll feel motivated to push myself harder as you see characters throughout the series training and always getting stronger. Sometimes it even shows real workouts we could be doing. So, the fact that we see characters that like to work out and continue to push themselves hard is motivational. The show has awesome fighting, which is one of the main reasons for the popularity of the show, the action. But, I don't see how you could not see the action in certain episodes and not think of it as epic. The characters in that show can also be role models, mostly Goku as he is the main character throughout the series. Goku is always cheerful and friendly. Goku has a mind set where he does not give up and can always think of a way to win the toughest fights. Well, thanks for reading. It's nice to write a review on a TV show I've been a fan of for so long and that never gets old.
