About Dragon Ball Z

Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールZ) blends action, adventure and comedy by Toei Animation (1989). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Goku is back with his new son, Gohan, but just when things are getting settled down, the adventures continue. Whether he is facing foes such as Freeza, Cell, or Boo, Goku is proven to be an elite of his own and discovers his race, Saiyan.

From there, he crosses paths with many new people, gaining allies as well as adversaries, as he still finds time to raise a family and be the happy-go-lucky Saiyan he is.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Masako Nozawa as Gokuu Son and Naoko Watanabe as Pu'ar. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 291 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
