This series is about Gokuu Son, a were-monkey whose original quest was to find the 7 Dragonballs. It is said that once all 7
Dragonballs are put together, a great dragon will appear and will grant 1 wish, after which the Dragonballs will scatter.
There are actually two series so far:
Dragonball - This followed Gokuu on his original quest. There are lots of silly gags and toilet humor, as well as some
great character acting and pathos. Gokuu Son is based on the Monkey King legend, but is more naive and innocent than
he is strong and valorous (which is saying a LOT). As his quest continues, he picks up lots of friends and enemies,
which keeps the storyline fresh. Also, upon the completion of a quest, it must begin again since the Dragonballs are
scattered, leading to new & even more bizarre adventures.
Most villains belong to the "Red Ribbon" organization of
which the most deadly assassin is...Kao Pai Pai.
Dragonball Z - This differs from the 1st series in that Gokuu disappeared into a strange realm and emerged as a super-
Saiyajin. Combat is now emphasized rather than the toilet humor and story of the last series. In recent storylines,
the plot centers on 4 androids from the future who came to
kill Gokuu and fights everyone who tries to protect him.
Cell, one of the 4 androids, absorbs 2 of the others to
become capable of destroying the universe. Gohan, Gokuu's
son, is the only one who can stop him since he has been shown to be more powerful -- and faster -- than his father.
This is arguably one of the most popular (and money making)
anime TV series in Japan today.
