I just have to review this one. My favourite anime of ALL TIME!!
I think the main reason that made me love DragonBallZ was the epic fighting and transformation sequences. The way some battles turn out is a little predictable but even so, whenever I saw Goku raise his hands to form a Genki-Dama, I also raised mine. and I'm sure most of you also did it.
Despite the predictable outcome of most battles and the over-usage of the DragonBalls so that no one would die except for the bad guys, after 20 years of existence, it still is a world-wide phenomenom.
Thank you, Akira Toryama
