One of the most famous anime series of all time. Mostly for its extreme length and colorful array of characters. The basic plot covers the adventures of Goku and his friends as they battle ever more powerful enemies to protect the Earth/Universe etc....
The name comes from the seven magical balls that the characters usual gather together in order to get their wishes granted, usually something along the lines of bringing people back to life.
Apart from being somewhat repetitive (what show doesn't follow a trend?)it is actually a very decent and original show drawn in a very humorous style by the original artist. One of the best things to come out of the 80's.
Usually scorned by the general public and anime purists because of its mainstream overexposure and americanization by dubbing companies. Most anime fans will claim it was their stepping stone to move onto bigger and better things just not to sound like total n00bs ignoring the fact that DB/Z is in fact widely popular in Japan and since 2004 began making a large comeback. It provided influence for today's best animes such as One Piece and Naruto. Most will contest that, however, rightfully popular, Dragonball Z will probably be around longer than their silly Inuyasha or "deeper" animes.

Taking place 10 years after the final Dragonball Z story, Emperor Pilaf finally manages to get all 7 dragonballs and makes a wish. Unfortunately for Pilaf, he gets flustered by the presence of Goku and wishes for Goku to be a child again so that Pilaf could "teach him a lesson." Pilaf gets his wish, and Goku is off on an interstellar trip to gather the 7 "Black Star Dragonballs" that can reverse the wish and return him to adulthood. The Black Star Dragonballs also have lethal side effects. After a wish has been granted, the Black Star Dragon Balls spread all over the galaxy. If all seven balls are not re-collected and returned to the planet on which the wish was granted, the planet will explode. Goku and Vegeta also turn Super Saiyan 4 in this series and also fuse to form Gogeta.
Dragonball GT aired in the U.S. on Toonami in 2003. Unlike the first two series, it was not based on the original Dragon Ball manga. There are a total of 64 episodes.

no one will buy the dvd.

real dragonball fans want to forget that this movie was ever produced.
DB evolution is not over 9000.

A movie based off an awesome anime but was utterly destroyed by dumbshit Americans trying to make epic into a real life movie. Everyone appears to be Asian besides the main character Goku.
Goku does not have the badass hair.
Piccolo seems to look like some cheap Harry Potter Villian.
Bulma is even more of a bitch in the movie than in the anime.
Roshi some how has hair in the movie.
Chi Chi is not anything like she was in the anime, she is somehow a sexy fighting beast in the movie.
America needs to apologize to Japan, they must have felt totally offended by this pile of shit.

Derek: You hear about Dragonball Evolution?
Harleigh: Yeah, supposedly it's supposed to be as good as the Super Mario Bros Movie!
Derek: OH BOY!

A false rumor of a sequel to Dragonball GT that has been speculating around the internet since 1998.
FUNimation wants fans to know that neither Dragonball AF or V exist. However, there might be a chance of a comic book.
