Dragonball to Dragonball Z

Advantages: CN version censored for kids, kids love it
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, I hate censorship, pointless censoring, violence?, adult-ish themes, kids love it, too commercialised

...I think many of you have heard of Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z now that it?s pretty much mainstream and it?s been shown on Cartoon Network. If you don?t watch it, your kids probably do, as they are the target audience. It?s been hugely popular over the years among Eastern Asians, and anime fans with myself included. Some anime fans love it, others hate it for various reasons. There have been debates about why it?s so great or why it?s not compared to other animes of similar genres. Some might just think of it as eye candy for boys. Well, I like it. I first watched it when I was like seven. It all began with a manga (Literally means comic book) created by Toriya Akira in 1984 known as Dragonball. Dragonball now consists of three series, a bunch of movies, manga, and a heck of a lot of merchandise. The first series is known as...

  DragonBall Z: TV's Chance To Shine

Advantages: good tv program, its on Toonami now
Disadvantages: it can get repeditive

...OPENING This review is about the DragonBall Z TV show, that now previews on the channel called Toonami, on channel number 903 (if your using an NTL Digi Box). DragonBall Z is basically about Son-Goku (the main character in the TV show), whom when in DragonBall (the first series) is a young man, who grows up to be a protector of the planet Earth, of what he thought was the only planet, but then he ends up being the defender of the universe, and he has a lot of burden upon his shoulders. Can he handle the pressure, does he crack, well see for your self, read the rest of this review. This review is rated a PG, so no one under 8 should be reading this without an adult with them. DRAGONBALLS The Dragonballs are 7 magical spheres that when they all are collected, you can make a wish within the dragons power, there is a command you have to...

Review of Dragonball Z

Rock the Dragonball Z

Advantages: It has a really good story, some intense battles and amazing music.
Disadvantages: There aren't any!

...Dragonball Z is a Japanese cartoon about some fighters who try to guard Earth from evil Forces. It is a sequel to Dragonball and prequel to Dragonball GT, AF and TS. The main character is Goku; he is a Sayan from the planet Vegetta. This means he is more powerful than all the other guardians. He (like all the other fighters) has the ability to use KI attacks. This is when they shoot a ball of energy from their hands. This can damage opponents quite a bit, but uses up their energy. Freeza was Goku?s archenemy in DBZ at one point and was in one of the movies. Freeza, like some other baddies could transform into a more powerful version of himself. Freeza does finally get defeated at one point but not by Goku, I won?t say as I might ruin the plot for some of you fans out there. Goku has one son: Gohan and many friends: Krylln...

Disadvantages: too short

Review of DragonBall Z The History of Trunks

Dragonball Z is the best

Advantages: N/A
Disadvantages: N/A

...Dragonball Z is the best program ever made. It shows on week days on Cartoon Network at 5pm which is great just before dinner. Dragonball Z is an action packed filled cartoon about some friends who are really strong and save the earth and stuff. There is around 12 people in all in fact and now the action is getting really good because Gohan's father has just died after saving the earth and suddenly just as magic Gohan is now a tennager which is really good. Dragonball Z has so much action really I don't know how they fit so much action into a half a hour slot. If you haven't already watched it you really should give it a go. But watch it more than once beacuse you might be a little bit unlucky and hit a little boring bit but even if you do it's still really good. Obvisly I can't talk about the whole show beacuse it could be...

Review of Dragonball Z

Dragonball Z: Supersonic Warriors

Advantages: Good graphics, sound, great fight simulation, lots of options and moves.
Disadvantages: Naff story sections, ne definable tiers in strength of different characters.

...DRAGONBALL Z: HOW GAME ARE YOU? Dragonball Z is a Japanese animated cartoon series, made up of several different sagas. Within Dragonball Z, there is a large number of main characters who defend the Earth against powerful forces of evil and who are on a constant mission to recover the "Dragonballs" (7 orange spheres, which when brought together grant the finder a single wish). Of course the good guys want the Dragonballs to bring their comerades back to life, while forces of evil seek them out also for selfish immortality. Herein is a great tool for games because Dragonball Z features plenty of fighting action, using energy beams and hand to hand combat. In addition to this, almost all of the characters can fly. For the Playstation 2, there were Budokai 1 and 2. Both of these have proved very popular with fight-loving gamers...

Review of DragonBall Z: Shin Budokai 2 (PSP)

A Load of Old Dragonballs

Advantages: Chow Yun-Fat understands the provenance of the movie...
Disadvantages: but none of the other players or the director do.

...Thousands of years ago, seven mystics created the dragonballs in order to defeat Piccolo and his demonic henchman. But now a solar eclipse heralds the villain?s return and if he gets hold of the orbs he will be able to make one perfect wish to destroy the earth. It is up to Goku, the young owner of one of the spheres to find the others and prevent Piccolo?s nefarious scheme. With the help of gadget-girl Bulma and his mentor Master Roshi the race is on to find them and save the world. I was surprised by the range of viewers at the showing I went to see ? everyone from little kids to guys in their thirties and forties. Still I suppose the movie has wide appeal considering it?s based on a popular range of manga novels that have spawned a cartoon series, computer games and an animated film. But James Wong?s live-action version shows...
