I'm going to keep this short as I can. This is a great show and has the potential to be one of the best anime series possibly of all time, but an incredibly irritating main character who you also love, a very stereo typical rivalry, an incredibly stereotypical love triangle, a ratio of 1 to 500, 1 being action, 1000 being dialogue and memory flashbacks, some sloppy art (forgivable with the amount of episodes but considering how sometimes it looks like a child drew it, it's inexcusable to me).
Also it has that goku vs freezer on namek issue where what should have LITERALLY been a 5 minute battle is stretched over about 10 or 15 20 minute episodes.

Take away all this and you have an amazing anime, but unfortunately, I do not recommend you watch this unless you have an incredible amount of patience and a high tolerance or like even, for annoying characters who do a running commentary on what they are doing, what they are going to do, and all that stuff every 5 minutes. It's great if you have a bad memory because you will always be reminded of what's going every 5 minutes of every episodes.

I wouldn't say it deserves the hype that it had and still has now but the story is good, especially if you manage to bare with it until it gets to shippuden where it gets much less annoying and the story gets REALLY interesting.
