It all began with Dragon Ball Z which I watched every weekday afternoon on television in the early 2000s, after a long and tedious day of school I was always excited to see Goku battle the next villain, the other Z Fighters stalling for time, the endless powering up, the iconic Kamehameha and Death Beams, the next big wish, the next big transformation and the next planet that would blow up after 12 episodes…Hell, even waiting for Goku to heal up for his next battle because he forgot to take his medication was entertaining.Įventually, Dragon Ball Z stopped airing and was replaced with its predecessor, the original Dragon Ball which I also watched and greatly enjoyed whether its young Goku smashing his way through the Red Ribbon army, King Piccolo killing Shenron in an epic fashion, young Goku killing King Piccolo in an epic fashion, Oolong wishing for panties or Roshi sniffing panties it was always so much fun to see such comedy gold being shown through my television screen. Dragon Ball, the king of battle anime…it might as well deserve that title because just like thousands upon thousands of anime fans, I too was introduced to the world of anime thanks to Dragon Ball.
