For a show about fighting there sure is a lot of talking. Of course, this is all to built up suspension and give the show an identity. In retrospect, even though it was quite the ride, I find that as an older Anime fan it has its fair share of shortcomings. Sure we all still remember the charming characters and epic fights but then there was also the recycling of animations and overly long drawn out expositions which make this a flawed but enjoyable show.
I'm sure that everything else has been said about DBZ so I'll leave you with this:
I wouldn't recommend it to seasoned Anime fans but to those new to the genre, give it a go and see for yourself if it has any redeeming qualities.
