Dragon Ball Z is a brilliant new cartoon on Cartoon Network, originally 'invented' by Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball Z is a well known and popular Japanese Anime (cartoon)and has been brought to our TV screens by Toonami, a company intent on filling our TV screens with Japanese anime. Personally, I think Dragon Ball Z is the ONLY good cartoon on Cartoon Network, even the other Japanese cartoons introduced by Toonami pale in comparison to the marvellous cartoon.
Being a big fan of Japanese anime, I have seen the original Japanese version and I prefer the English version, the Japanese people are very different from us (no offense) and their cartoons seem very weird. The only big problem with the English version of Dragon Ball Z is the voice actors, they are pretty poor at grunts, groans and screams. Making the cartoon sound like a over exaggerated pornography cartoon (Japanese have cartoons like that, they are called Hentai).
The cartoon involves super powerful aliens called saiyans, a very powerful alien called frieza and an alien who thought he was a human called Goku, throw in space ships, distant planets, battles and the ability to fire rays of light and it all gets pretty confusing. So like the Pokemon cartoon, you have to watch from the start of the series to understand it.
Cartoon Network have new episodes to show but can't make their mind up when, last time I heard it was later this year.

Summary: Brilliant cartoon with interesting but complex stories.
