This is seriously my first time writing a review. I've decided to start with Dragon Ball Z, one of the shows that were so mainstream back then which I admit that I did somehow always anticipate as a child. But let's get over with it. I might be digging my own grave here because of this. But well, here goes:
Story - 2
The story doesn't give that much appeal to me as I've realized its simple, very mediocre shounen pattern: Enemy appears out of nowhere, they try to get stronger, fight them, use full force, etc. The story is just too shallow that there's little to
...
no thrill behind it.
Art - 3
The art style is really poor for me. The art is just too plain even if you compare it to anime/manga of its time. All main characters are muscular as if their bodies' gonna explode anytime sooner by looking at their veins. The author most likely compensates with the hair in an effort to make it look better which somehow contributed and pleased a lot of audiences
Sound - 9
I give the sound effects a score of 9. The sound effects especially during battle is so good and they give intense thrill. This is the strongest thing this anime has to offer
Character - 3
Well, character development is just so low. Only Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and the rest of the Saiyan family gets stronger and gets to keep up with their opponents. Others were considered like trashes. As if they have to retire out of the show because they could not keep up with the main characters anymore. And it's like Goku and the rest of the Saiyans are the only ones available to fight simply because "they're strong". Other characters are so neglected of their roles that they aren't that much part of the story as it progresses. Also, this show lacks women in the fighting force.
Enjoyment - 5
The fight since sure are enjoyable for common audiences. But somehow, it doesn't please me that much as the fight since are all about using each others' full force to the maximum level they can. Like this character getting angry because he saw his friend got harmed or killed, he'll transform and get stronger then proceed to beat up the villain. However, the thing is that this anime mainly lacks strategy and tactics in defeating the enemy. Always relying on sheer force. Thus, I don't really enjoy this that much
Overall - 3
That's the overall rating I could give this show which I admit is a part of my childhood. But my views about this changed.
