Interest Stacks

Great adaption of the first 4 arcs in the manga, Arrancar paced a bit poorly at the start through middle but nonetheless fucking awesome anime. Has my favorite transformations I've ever seen in anime/manga so far, beyond great foreshadowing, phenomenal fights some of the best in anime in general (especially ones in Thousand Year Blood War), I love Bleach's world as well, Soul Reapers and the Soul Society is very cool, and we know little about Hell but I am very intrigued, hyped for the Hell arc

This is only Season 1 but I'm gonna just say this is Part 1 of the manga for convience

Kinda wish the series continued on like this not gonna lie, or ended at the of Piccolo Jr. Saga, I love Kai and even Super, but OG Dragon Ball will be the best from the series, It's just so good and doesn't try too hard to do a million different things, just a boy who knows nothing of this world trying to learn societal normals and become the best martial artist. Every character you interact feels like they can actually impact the story or atleast somewhat help Goku train or learn something he doesn't know, or get him going on an adventure

Also people who say 'Goku is boring/generic' and 'Dragon Ball is just people screaming, powering up and fighting' clearly never watched this, Goku gets an amazing character arc in this, and the world in OG Dragon Ball with the World Martial Arts Tournament is so good too, please watch the series correctly

Generally a good and fun battle shonen, 4th Great Shinboi War is paced terribly and boring until basically the Obito reveal but still has some of the best highlights of the entire series, horrible plot twist and final antagonist though

Good beginnings

Covers Saiyan Saga - Cell Games of Z, Kai is objectively the best way to experience the Z storyline of Dragon Ball

Info: Dragon Ball Kai (Dragon Ball Z Kai) is a revised and recut Dragon Ball Z, fixing pacing and padding issues of the original Dragon Ball Z anime, while also redubbing with better voice acting and translation, remastering the video, and new music
They did a fantastic job, this is the true way of experiencing Z's portion of Dragon Ball, only thing I'd say is the Namek Sagas (Namek, Ginyu and Frieza Sagas) are very slow and pacing still isn't all that great, but you can't really blame them Z was shit

Covers Great Saiyaman Saga - Kid Buu Saga (and Peaceful World Saga)

Info: Dragon Ball (Z) Kai: The Final Chapters (Dragon Ball Kai (2014) is a revised and recut Dragon Ball Z and starts off where the original Kai left off, starting off at the Great Saiyaman Saga all the way to Kid Buu Saga (also Peaceful World Saga), the reason this isn't one thing is Toei didn't originally intend to finish off the Z anime in the Kai format, Kai 1.0 ends off at the end of the Cell Games Saga, but they were pressured into it
Kai Final Chapters is a little different from 1.0, with video cropping (albeit thankfully very good cropping), green tint in the Japanese version, keeping in 2 whole fillers episode from Z (though don't skip these they're very good and help out the story especially the Great Saiyaman one), and new music by a different person from 1.0, and not as good pace cutting as 1.0, though still very good and DEFINITELY better than Z's, this is still the definitive way to experience those Sagas from the Z storyline

An anime clearly inspired from Bleach, it's great nonetheless, can't wait to see more

It's good, lackluster in some areas, first two arcs are poor adaptions of the Battle of Gods and Ressurection F movie still fun though mostly, Future Trunks Saga is great and Tournament of Power is great too, Moro and Granolah saga in the manga is some of the best sagas we've seen from Dragon Ball as a whole in a while

Boring, nothing to really jump out of your seat for, animation is good, but nothing mind blowing like people will insinuate 24/7, it's mostly just cool effects, fights are boring and some actually have dull animation
