Justa little comment about the moon gag in anime, it's said that in Japan, there's a children tale that says that there are rabbits making mochi on the moon, due to it habing a surface where it's possible to see the shilouette of a rabbit making mochi. That's why there so many rabbits and moon references, like Super Mario Odyssey or that Wii game from the Rabbids.

This just crap they do to make themselves feel superior to others. Becaseu I remember back in the early 2000 Naruto was really popular until it went main stream (Viz start distributing in the US) then all of a sudden the fans started to really hate on it and nitpick every story arc. The reason why is because the secret anime/manga that they loved was no longer a secret and no longer special. JUst ignore the anime Elitist

People who say the story and characters in dragon ball aren’t that good are probably those who’ve only seen or heard of Super. OG dragon ball and DBZ where incredibly well written for the most part with that only slightly shaky part being the Buu Saga.

I have very mixed feelings about Super but ironically Beerus and Whis became my favorite characters in the franchise at lightning speed, to my own surprise. Toriyama no doubt had a talent at making up ridiculously charming characters. No matter how many people were in charge of DB post-manga/DBZ and what they did with it, wherever Toriyama's touch was, that's where you could feel the franchise's pulse. I also adored the whole concept and reveal of Migatte no Gokui. Those days were the most hype I saw for DB in Latin America since the nineties.

Another great video as always. You have a way of speaking that's able to keep me interested in a topic I wouldn't have cared about otherwise. It also helped me realize just how little of Dragon Ball I've actually experienced. When I was a kid, all I watched of dragon ball was some of the frieza arc and so I ended up forming my opinions on the series based on that, plus watching Dragon Ball Super whilst it was airing. It wasn't until 2018 that I decided to read the manga and realized just how little I had known about the series. I remember being really surprised that the series started with Goku as a kid as I'd always known him as an adult. It also surprised me just how fun the manga was to read, despite being almost 35 years old at the time. If I'm remembering correctly, I got up to the beginning of the Red Ribbon Army saga before I stopped reading. Thanks to this video, I've decided to give the Dragon Ball manga another shot and I'm gonna try to get to the end of the child Goku section before your next video releases. Really can't wait!

"Dragon Ball" is one of the most wildly influential manga in history, to the point where pretty much any shounen mangaka will reference it and draw upon Toriyama's flow between paneling in their own work by using the natural movement of the manga reader's eye. But if you don't like slapstick, Toriyama's particular brand of potty humor, sense of power scaling, AND his penchant for jus outright forgetting / dismissing aspects of his canon until much later...then yeah, it's a story that may not be for everyone. FWIW, I adore "Dragon Ball," warts and all lol. If you want a precursor to energy wave style attacks, you'd probably have to go back to something like "Space Battleship Yamato" from the 1970s with the Wave Motion Gun, assuming you were staying strictly in anime and not "Dragon Ball's" influences from antiquity. As a point of critique, I gotta say - you spend so much time simply walking through the plot that a lot of analysis opportunity is just blown over, or you're not really saying anything new. If this is supposed to get people to read the manga, it feels like a plot summary that one could glean by reading Wikipedia.

Toriyama's genius shines brightest in Dr Slump. I laugh out loud at every single page. It so funny, so charming. Toriyama is a gag manga authour par excellence. He became a action guy by accident, yet he revolutionized that field too.

ngl, i think the og dragonball before the saiyans aged better minus maybe some inappriorate jokes, it's just more fun, but also has some badass fights, the tone in Z became too monotone the more it progressed. saiyan saga was still fine, maybe frieza too, but there was just less and less fun and more and more of the same pretty one dimensional fights

Lol imagine thinking that? First of all of Dragonball is just one story so trying to separate Z and “OG” DB as a story is stupid, the anime just did it for marketing. But also even if you want to split it up. Z did better with characters, story arcs, pretty much everything. You’re right about the rest being garbage tho and that’s because it’s just people trying to milk it. Toriyama truly ended the story after Z.

I think this video is needed, Hearing people repeat the same criticism over and over again like "oh it's just guys powering up and yelling" makes me think they either haven't watched, or they've only seen Z. It's pretty common for people to start with Z, this definitely damages peoples perception of the series. It's the same as if you started Naruto at Shippuden, or the MCU at Infinity war, or Kingdom hearts at 3 It would be a really dumb way to start and analyze, a show, or piece of media if you only have half of the information. so hearing people parrot the same opinions of DBZ is just so incredibly obnoxious. It's fine if you don't like it but you better give me opinions that don't sound stolen from the Internet.

Dragon Ball is just one of those shows where people tend to either be batshit insane about or think it's a snooze fest (Which I mostly blame on poor pacing in the og Z anime), it's my first Anime and manga so I can't really say with complete certainty that I'm not at least partially blinded by nostalgia but I think it's a very competently written and charming with some great action and some of the character writing from Kid Krillin to Vegeta are like actual 10/10 bangers.
