Positives:
* The series is a good choice for action fans
* Definitely an "essential" series; important to understanding the history of anime
* There are 291 episodes, 13 movies, 2 OVAs, a prequel series, and a sequel series, so fans of shows like Bleach and Naruto will probably enjoy the episodic action
* This show and Sailor Moon set off the US anime explosion, so the show is one of the few anime series' that the average person will recognize
* Akira Toriyama always found a way to make the Vegeta-Goku fights epic

Negatives:
* Dragon Ball Z is light on plot; mostly provides an excuse for high octane action
* The Funimation dub was horrible; watch the subs
* The dub music was gross too
* I get annoyed whenever Goten and Trunks are together. That might just be me, though
* There's a new series, Dragon Ball Kai, that cleaned up Dragon Ball Z and shortened the show. Newer viewers may prefer Kai, since it's half as long and cleaner looking.

Overall:
Rather than review Dragon Ball Z properly, I'm going to list some thoughts I've had about the show:
1) I always hated the Freeza saga, but now I realize it's the best arc
2) That "Gohan goes beyond Super Saiyan" scene at the end of the Cell Games? It was better when Goku did it with Freeza.
3) Vegeta is a lovable jerk.
4) Dragon Ball Z movie 8 is probably the single best DBZ contribution, followed closely by the Bardock special and the Majin Vegeta-Goku fight.
5) The dub was absolutely atrocious and the dub music sounded like a five year old found out how to use a Casio keyboard
6) Buu Saga: Too long
7) Android Arc: Too short
8) I always hated how characters like Krillin, Yamcha, and Tenshinhan never got any attention after the Android Arc

This is what I call a master piece

Well DragonballZ take places few years after Dragonball, which all of them grow up and gotten alot stronger than before.

DragonballZ is based on a group of Saiyans, human, Nameks, join forces to protect planet Earth from all the enemies.

And along the way, each of them learn the truth behind the enemies.

Best anime show in years, from this show, this is where Naruto came from mostly aka Naruto, Sasuke-

Don't take my word on it, take a look at it .

The works of Dragonball Z is very popular and has lots of meomories to remember!!
I grew up with DBZ, i use to watch this since I was young!! No matter how old this anime is, this never will always be remembered!!
Goku is back with his love ones and some new enemies to come for the series!! We continue where we left off from Dragonball!
As the series go, you get to see Goku grown up with children loving and pure as ever to grew up and plus the legends of the saiyans to learn from!! DBZ is very epic with action and some laughs!! I Loved each moment of it!
But don't think that the story of Goku and his friends is over yet! The story continues from Dragonball GT!!

(Im only doing this because im really bored at home and plus i wanted to do somthing on crunchyroll to kill time)
