Note: Though This is to do with DragonballZ its not a guide about the story line, etc. Its more about the teachings behind it. Akira Toriyama, creator of the dragonball series was amazing, nearly 75% of the episodes had some kind of theory or meaning implemented in them very cleverly.
I am writing my ‘ciao’ essay, here today to get a bold point across to all you non DragonballZ fans. DragonballZ isn’t some ordinary childish fantastic cartoon you watch for fun and enjoyment. It has much more to it, that’s why I am here writing out what fascinates me and may fascinate others on this very day. I would like to express my self and want you to learn about the truth of DragonballZ. I want to and will share my knowledge to all you people about the power and motivation of DragonballZ. Not many people notice this but DragonballZ isn’t some supernatural based, extraordinary martial arts cartoon. It has much more to it. This ‘so call’ cartoon has many philosophy meanings behind it, it has a very adventurous story line behind it and it’s also used for educational purposes. All the points I have just recently mentioned has and always will motivate viewers to do better when they are doing some kind of explosive or academic activities. When I say many philosophies I mean ancient Japanese philosophies are sent across to the viewer when they watch an episode of DragonballZ… for example in episode 54 ‘Déjà vu’ the hidden message that is sent is that ‘you can control and teach yourself of art of expressing the human body’ this is what the main characters, Vegeta and Goku do to defeat the over whelming power of Kid Buu in the Buu saga and another example would be in episode 276 ‘The anime teaches you about how you are superior to others from within.’ Like I mentioned in the beginning of my essay DragonballZ isn’t only a cartoon it contains other interesting sub topics in it such as human and family teachings. In educational terms I mean DragonballZ’s story line and animation is really good to improve kids and Adults imaginations which could lead to good, neat and more sufficient presentation ideas. As DragonballZ is aimed for educational purposes to the family message it sends across to the viewer is that you should look after your parents when they are growing old and you have to concentrate on your studies 100% because you will always have later to play. DragonballZ also gets these points across, you should be kind to others but if they keep treating you like some kind of absolute animal then you have to destroy them mentally or even physically. DragonballZ has many other meanings behind it, so you have to pick it up by your self. I have picked up several points from the series and they sound pretty interesting and motivating.
The last thing I have to point out is the reason I chose this topic. DragonballZ hidden messages and the actual animation interest me a lot and I believe that many people can learn from these points to build on their imaginations or even change their personalities.

I thought it was a bit of a parallel for Buddhism and some of the teachings of Buddha, in a roundabout way. Mind you, depends what flavour Buddhism you like!

A pretty circular argument that didn't really illuminate any of the points you proposed. I'm still not sure in what way this programme is deep and meaningful no matter how many times you said it was.

Interesting op, there are messages and hidden meanings everywhere. You just have to be aware. Have seen loads of Dragonballz episodes as my child loves it. Glo xxx
Advantages: you have to be able to ignore some fairly large plot holes Disadvantages: its been repeating for some weeks now and only come on for 30 mins a day
