How do you folks feel about classic Dragon Ball? Personally obsessed with the 23rd Budoukai and Saiyan arcs. Insurmountably peak shonen, imo.

I think Goku vs Piccolo is the best fight in the entire franchise

It’s overrated but that’s a given for being one of the most famous anime and manga franchises ever created, Classic dragon ball and early Z are fantastic even though we do see less of the regular main cast later

So I've never actually watched Dragon Ball, as a guy in his 20s would it be worth actually giving a shot or should I use the time spent watching other anime instead?

I remember telling my friends at school that I had never seen it and they were all in shock because they've ALL seen it. I was the poor kid so my family never had cable and of course this was the one anime that was NEVER on free TV even though Yugioh, Pokémon, Medabots, Cardcaptors and more were readily available on TV at the time. So I just never really had it on my radar. I've seen the first episode of the original Dragon Ball and GX I think, I don't remember much of it though.

So is it worth watching today, or is it something you have to watch as a kid to fully appreciate? I'm fine with shonen stuff, I enjoyed shows like YYH, FMA and Hajime no Ippo and don't mind battles that span multiple episodes, not a huge fan of filler and know Dragonball has a bunch of it but I imagine it's not as bad as it seems. But what do the few anon's of wapchan think?

Also webm related is the only Dragonball related file I have on hand.

The original is a vindicated classic and the original series in general tends to focus more on the martial arts angle then the trademark beam spam that occurs later (starting with the fight against freeza).

The first three DBZ movies are still pretty martial arts-oriented. I think they feature the best fight choreography in official DB media.

Finally a place where I can discuss the dragon ball series in its prime, none of that DBS nonsense or over the top powerlevel shenanigans, just the way I once knew the franchise. Just an excuse to bring this thread back with the dragon balls lol

I really liked dragonball when i was younger, but I was a bit too dumb as a kid to pirate the anime/manga, and was more a fan of the weird online mix the sonic community had with them.
Nazo Unleashed being the huge deal at the time:

I'm definitely going to rewatch the anime. When I have kids I want my sons to enjoy some good classic shounen
