Dragonball Season 1
9/10
Still an absolute classic!
Before watching this, I didnt really know what to expect. I was concerned that i wouldn't like it as much compared to when i was a kid. But to my surprise, it's still awesome! In fact the show still holds up INCREDIBLY well!!! The animation is superb, the comedy is really funny, the action is top notch, the characters are still lovable and the music is banging!
The first saga, The Emperor Pilaf saga, Is slow but satisfying. It introduces all the characters and shows us what the main premise of the show might be: Collecting Dragonballs! For the first saga of the show, It's reasonably good,as it has some really funny scenes and good action, but does drag in places (mainly in the end). Probably the highlight is Master Roshi's Kamehameha!
The second are is the reason why i loved Dragonball: IT'S F*****G MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENTS!!! When i said the main premise was the characters collecting Dragonballs, It's other premise are the Martial Arts Tournaments. The MAT sega is pretty self-explanitory. Goku and Krillen are taught martial arts by Master Roshi, and they enter a tournament. Here is where the REAL action begins! Each fight is a blast to watch and keeps you guessing as to who is going to win! Real tense stuff!
Overall, Dragonball is still an awesome anime that holds up really well! If you haven't seen it, than you NEED to see this! It's essential! Stop watching overrated shows like Fairy Tail and Attack On Titan (that's right i went there!) and watch a REAL anime masterpiece!
