Dragon Ball Z was originally a Japanese Anime/Manga everyday television show. Then it became one of the most popular anime/manga series. However, like good TV shows go, other countries start Dubbing - a form of changing the language which is converted so other countries can understand it. Each country have different cast crew to dub the language these television shows.
Anyway, Dragon Ball Z is a Anime/Manga series which is made up of a group of high powered human like characters, who have a unique ability to create fireball like objects and other magic like things. In the original series, Goku is the leader of the Earth's Special Forces, which consist of Goku,Klilyn,Piccolo,Tien,Chowshu,Yamcha,Yagirobe,and Gohan. Master Roshi, if you are wondering is a teacher of a Kamaiya Mai technique and he teaches Goku when he was a small boy this technique and some others as well. The series is over 150 episodes in length and is a great show. The other Dragon Ball series out now and since 1994 or so is called Dragon Ball GT. It is not as good as the Dragon Ball Z series, one is because there is a different artist drawing the characters to this new series. To get more information on Dragon Ball Z GO HERE
After eight years, he ended Dr. Slump. Next he began Dragon Ball. It was a hit which lasted for over ten years. He
also made many other short stories which have been collected and published in a few volumes. As a result of his
incredibly outstanding work, he was hired to help in the creation of a few popular video games. Including the RPG hit
Dragon Warrior series and another RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment system, Chrono Trigger. He also did
the artwork for Tobal No.1, which I myself have and I must say it looks awesome. Every curve of every character
reflects Toriyama's splendor. Tobal No.1 is a 3d fighter for the Sony Playstation. The controls are sort of "unique" but
it's great.
Story

Gokou killed by mistake when he transformed into the were-monkey.

Somethings You Should Know about Dragon Ball Z Before...
First off Dragon Ball Z started off in a three year type time frame consisting of the
arriveral of Gokou's older chicken weakling brother "Raditz" The next frame was the Trip Namik to get the Namik Dragon Balls. Third frame deals with Vegita and Freeza mainly.
In the beginning Raditz comes and later takes "Gohan," who is Gokou's son and Raditz tells Gokou to kill x-number of people to get him back.. if not he would die or be a loser.
Later on Gokou dies because he wasted his life to kill Raditz and goes onto Snake way and travels to King Kai where he trains with King Kai to learn a rare technique. The rest of the episodes deal with the hunt for dragon balls,Piccolo trains Gohan how to be a warrior,and Nappa and Vegita come to earth to find the Dragon Balls for a wrong purpose.
Year 2 Is the quest to Piccolo's home planet to find the dragon balls but Bulma,Gohan,and Krillin run into trouble. Getting captured by a invisible ship people,landing on the wrong planet and finding out that the supreme warrior Freeza is on planet Namek as well as the evil Vegita.. still insearch for invincibility. Gokou comes later on to Namek. He was warned if you angrue Freeza that the universe was at stake. Vegita also in the match to fight Freeza but later gets wiped out majorly.
Year 3 The battle continues for supreme power and the dragon balls but this is where it all ends on the battle field. Unlike for poor planet Namik to take such chaos. Vegita wants Freeza bad and well he learns its not easy to beat Freeza. Gokou flares up after he sees Piccolo and Krillin gets mutilated by the evil black hearted Freeza...

Dragon Ball Z Information & News Stand also is where you can get the weekly summaries of the last dragon ball z tv show, which Jason takes time to write for you all who missed some tv episodes
In 1986 Akira Toriyama the man who
brought Dragon Ball to life started the ani-
mated series called "Dragon Ball."
Yet very lame of a anime show but it had
some action, but it was a beginning for
Akira who oringally before Dragon Ball
had other anime series called "Dr.
Slump." I don't recall knowing to
much about that particular series.
Back to Dragon Ball...It all began when
Gokou aka. "Kakarot," was sent
to earth by a Saiyan space pod to
destroy Earth, but the plan failed when Gokou
hit his head and became a nice kid.
Yet Gokou was a Saiyan and Saiyans have tails,
and when they look at the moon or a later
technique Vegita used that was created by Gokou's
real father also transformed them...Anyway, before I go
to far, I want you to know how Gokou got his name...
"The Arrival," was the name of the first Dragon Ball Z episode which consist of
over 500 + episodes. This series was one the most famed anime shows in Japan and still is after more than about 10 years ago it started. The reason for its popularity is it was just one heck of a action packed series. Reeling in over a billion dollars worth of merchandise. Dragon Ball Z had begun its long journey accross the ocean to the Usa. Haa!, Well folks I could end it by saying Dragon Ball Z in america is now getting a unhappy look from the fans who have seen the original japanese version. USA CENSORED PROGRAMMING, is the reason of the unhappiness of the fans, True Fans I mean... You can't be a true fan until you experience the japanese version of Dragon Ball Z. You don't got to go and buy some hundred dollars worth of merchandise to be a fan of Dragon Ball Z. Your just being a poser. A fan is one who knows and has seen most of the Dragon Ball Episodes. What if I haven't seen all the episodes am I still a fan ?Well theorologically YES, but it would help if you know alittle before you go out and buy stuff related to the series. Other words that way we have dragon ball websites to help you in need to become a fan.
