I am a girl who loves the Dragon Ball series. I grew up watching the original Dragon Ball and was eager to watch this series blossom, unfortunately it never quite made it for me (also DB GT is not worth even mentioning in the same sentence as these two great shows).

While the first Dragon Ball show had a varying plots and an interesting story line, DBZ was more of a lets see how many epic battles we can come up with show. For most guys this makes this show a 10 star show, and I will admit that some episodes were truly amazing, however with some battles going on for hours I found myself sometimes wondering if the battles were ever going to end. Though I do admit I love watching Goku kick some evil butt, I miss the humor and story lines of its predecessor Dragon Ball.

I give DBZ 7 1/2 stars. It gets 10 stars for action, but only 6 stars for story line and character development.

If you are new to the Dragon Ball series, go back to the beginning and watch Dragon Ball then delve into this fast-paced action series Dragon Ball Z!!! (dont forget to skip DB GT)
