I grew up watching the entire series from beginning to end, reading the comic books, and playing the video games. The Dragon Ball Z series has some likable characters, amazing battle sequences, and a powerful story that spans thousands of years. Originally produced in the 1980s, Western audiences were lucky to be able to watch it in English. However, I wish Sun Wukong would start out telling the story of a brave little boy who uses his natural fighting skills to help others.
Unfortunately, the Western TV version was heavily censored, resulting in some of the early fight scenes feeling spontaneous and lacking in flow. The use of violence and harsh language (such as insults) in the Japanese version creates emotional tension that is not present in the English version. Dragon Ball fans may agree that the dubbing is not as good as the Japanese version.
However, rewatching Dragon Ball in any language brings back great memories. Work for us! Look it's still there.
