I'm on the 30th episode should I drop this? Is there something interesting coming? Can I watch dbz if I drop this can I understand the story? |

Yes, you can watch DBZ without watching this. Personally I wouldn't even recommend any Dragon Ball franchise. there are many better animes than DB. Edit : Lol, DBtards caught my bait. |

For me it just took some time to adapt to such an old anime. Other than that i enjoyed the whole franchise a lot and binged it very easily. You can watch dbz without db but you wont be bonded to characters at all |

Skipping Dragon Ball is like skipping all the other beginning series of an anime just to watch the good stuff. Dragon Ball is more of a story driven and comedy series while Dragon Ball Z is more fighting and power ups. Don’t just skip dragon ball and watch Z, you’ll have no idea who these characters are or how they got to where they are now. |

If you we’re to just skip dragon ball, you would be completely lost when going to dbz. |

_anime_fan_698 said: I'm on the 30th episode should I drop this? Is there something interesting coming? Can I watch dbz if I drop this can I understand the story? People aren't really giving you a clear picture here. I'll try to do so, without being a clown. So DragonBall suffers from pacing issues throughout the series. You will be pretty well prepared for them if you start with the orignal. Also, Z has a pretty chaotic start and things won't hit REMOTELY as hard as they will otherwise. Most of the people here themselves started off with Z as kids and dropped the original, so they'll give you a pretty biased opinion. So I'd Reccomend watching the Orignal, preferably at 1.5-2x speed, and then moving onto Dragon Ball Kai/Z Kai(Sub/Dub) instead of the orignal Z. Z had episodes worth of useless staredowns and padding that will almost make you want to kill yourself. Go with Kai, that improves pacing and touches up animation. |

I can only make an informed decision based on the certain aspects of the series you do like. If u like zero of this series by episode 30 then why tf would u keep watching. Overall though I do recommend the manga for this series, even though I did enjoy the series. |

certifiedbinger said: I will admit I didn’t watch Z first but that’s because I grew up watch it after school on Toonami along with Sailor Moon and Hamtaro, I don’t really remember much about Z besides the Frieza and Trunks stuff, then a few years ago when I started getting big into the manga and anime community I decided to watch it completely. And it’s one of my favorite mangas. The anime is good too, and yeah they really do have arcs dedicated to them.

That's like saying the screentime Bakugo gets is more than Mineta and Kaminari. Ofc he gets more screentime. |
