1. A series based around 7 magical balls and follows the main character Goku through many years of his life. Alongside Goku are his friends. They're also called "Z-Fighters". It was that got many people into Anime for the first time. A lot of Animes are based of DragonBall. At first there was DragonBall, then DragonBall Z, and last was DragonBall GT.
DragonBall was, according to popular belief, the most exciting. It began with Goku as a small and "vinsible" child. The main characters weren't overpowered, so there were more obsticles in the heroes way.
At the start of DragonBall Z, our hero Goku grew up and had a family. However, the heroes became "over powered" and things started to get boring and repeatitive, consisting of:
* A bad shows up to destroy the planet.
* Goku's friends get their asses handed to them.
* Goku or some of his stronger friends show up and get their asses handed to them and say something like "'tis guy = tuff".
* Picollo stands there and says "im-im-im-im-impossible" with his thumb in his ass.
* Goku's friends distract the bad guy while Goku charges up his most powerfull attack and destroys the bad guy.
The "Z" is believed to mean Zero.
By the end of DBZ, the fans were tired of the same old thing again and again in DragonBall Z and wanted to see Goku like he was in the good old days; as in not "god-like". The directors decided to have a jackass villian from Goku's childhood in DragonBall accidentally wish Goku back into a kid again.
The show becomes more fun to watch in the beginning but soon the Z-Fighters become over powered again. This time the only real fighters are Goku and his rival Vegeta.
The fans and American censorship are most to blame for making the show look like shit.
Most of the fans consist of 12-year-olds with ADHD that always make AMVs on Youtube or spam the forums with quotes from the show like "KAAAAA MEEEE HAAAA MEEEE HAAAAAGH!!!!!" as their basic line of defense against any insult from a more evolved being. When they're not doing that, they're on MMO games making copyright characters from the show and try to act like bad asses.
* Censorship is the most to blame. By taking out all the gore, bad words and crude humor that the true fans fell in love with, it looked like a kids show. Kids got into the show more and made a mockery of it.
There's sometimes arguements on whether the series is overrated or underrated.
2. A magical ball with a specific number of stars inside. When they're all gathered together you say a password that unleashes a huge dragon named Shenron, or Purunga, depending on whether the balls are from Earth or Namek.

A bunch of cartton charactors doing the equivalent of flashing torches at one another, then talking for fiveteen minutes about how noble it is to use torches instead of fighting. Then they pretend to punch eachother for five minutes before they start to use powerful torches while shouting out "kamayhamayha" or some japanese shit.

As a young adult, Goku meets his older brother, Raditz, who tells him that they come from a warrior race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans. The Saiyans had sent Goku to Earth to destroy it, but his ship crashes upon arrival. Goku fell into a deep ravine and lost all memory of his mission. Goku refuses to help Raditz continue the mission, after which he begins to encounter others who want to battle him, such as the Saiyan prince Vegeta. He also encounters Frieza, who is considered to be one of the strongest beings in the universe, after which Goku begins training his first child, Son Gohan, to be his successor. Years later, a group of soldiers from the Red Ribbon army known as androids appear to kill Goku. Another android, Cell, absorbs Androids #17 and #18 from the Red Ribbon army to increase his power, then fights Goku and Gohan, resulting in Goku's death. Goku decides to stay dead for seven years to train in the Other World. When he returns, he is drawn into a battle for the universe against an extraterrestrial named Majin Buu. Joined by Vegeta and Gohan, the evil half of Buu is destroyed and the Good Buu (Mr. Buu) settles down with them. Ten years later at a martial arts tournament, Goku meets evil Buu's human reincarnation, Uub. At the end of the series, Goku takes Uub away on a journey to train him as another successor.
Dragonball Z first aired on Toonami in 1998 when Moltar was originally its host. Tom was Toonami's host after Moltar. There are 291 episodes.
