@@gamesmoney1025it’s about preference really, if you like the adventure, expanding of world, meeting new people/friends (helping them out with whatever situation they’re going through) Dragonball is the better choice. If you’re preference is getting to the action, fighting, power levels type of thing, then Z is the better choice. (Although the Frieza saga was just perfect cuz it had both aspects of it in it ) I love both, but I do enjoy Dragonball a little more for how lighthearted it is and the adventures with the OG crew.

Fun fact: "Son Gokū" is the Japanese reading of "Sun Wukong" ("Monkey King"), the protagonist of the 16th-century Chinese novel, _Journey to the West,_ of which there are countless adaptations and references in Chinese and Japanese culture. _Dragonball_ is a _very_ loose adaptation. I think (although I'm pretty unfamiliar with the the story of the novel, only barely knowing it through descriptions of the plot) Toriyama included quite a few elements of the source material, but there's a lot of original material and material from other sources as well, like probably most of the characters and a lot of the plot. 9:40 This makes more sense in the original Japanese, where "Bulma" is pronounced "Bu-ru-ma", which sounds the same as "bloomers". You'll find many of the character names in _DB_ have specific themes, like clothing and food. Obviously, Bulma is in the clothing category. And Pilaf is food.

You don't need to watch Dragon Ball to watch Dragon Ball Z as there is enough recaps from Dragon Ball in Z, but Dragon Ball is a fun journey nonetheless. I started with Z and then GT, then went on to watch Dragon Ball and then Super. It is still best to watch them in order, in my opinion. You won't go wrong with Fullmetal Alchemist either, but it's best to watch FMA: Brotherhood rather than the original simply because it's more fleshed out with more content. Inuyasha is a hit-or-miss series. I didn't mind it, but it wasn't spectacular to me.
