Dragonball was the anime series that started all the Dragonball series. Most of my knowledge of this saga was attained from watching the first few episodes of the series and reading the comics. There is more humor than fighting in Dragonball. Without Dragonball, Dragonball Z would have never been created. Nonetheless, Dragonball is important to all Dragonball Z fans. Dragonball tells about the adventures that Goku has as he is growing up. Dragonball starts off as Goku (a kid) meets Bulma, Oonlong, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Chi-Chi, and the Ox King. Then, they gather the Dragonballs and battle Pilaf (Goku and friends win). After the Pilaf Series, Goku competes in a martial arts contest. At this series, Goku meets Kulilin, Chaozu, and Tenshin-han. After this series, Goku moves on to the Android Series. Here, he meets Dr. Gero (later known as Red Ribbon or Android #20). Dr. Gero, planning to destroy Goku, unleashes Android #8. However, Goku ends up kicking the #$@& out of the robot. Last but not least, is the Piccolo Series. Here, Goku is a young adult who has to defend the world from Piccolo. After the famous battle, Piccolo is defeated. Rather than destroying the demon, Goku spares his life. (This battle is what led to Dragonball's success. In the Piccolo Series there was more fighting than humor which is a characteristic of Dragonball Z) At the end, Gokou marries Chi-Chi...
