RIP Akira Toriyama

I first saw Dragonball in 1989. I had no idea it would become as big as it did in the US (and that didn't really start to happen until Cartoon Network started airing Dragonball Z a decade later).

Anyway, when I watched it, it looked like this:

(They changed almost all the names for the first English dub, notably Goku becoming Zero. It was the first and third movies, Curse of the Blood Rubies and Mystical Adventure compressed and combined, with some dialogue added linking them together to make it seem like the first villain was working for the second villain)

I loved it at the time, especially that a lot of the humor was derived from just how over-the-top powerful everyone was (rather than US/EU comedy/action cartoons where the humor is usually derived from how *incompetent* everyone is).

I have the whole special (more or less) saved to my hard drive, but it's a little too big to post.

Thanks for thirty-plus years of over-the-top powerful comedy.

Just discovered Dragonball Evolution isn’t the first attempt of a live action Dragonball movie. 💀

Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins (1991)

An evil alien searches the Earth for seven “Dragon Pearls��� which can grant him ultimate power. A gang of misfit adventurers band together to stop him.

Appears to be the English dub of this movie. According to IMDb it’s from Taiwan.

From the trivia page:

Chronologically speaking, this is the second live-action adaptation of Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" manga (although an unlicensed and therefore unofficial adaptation).

The film was loosely inspired by Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies (1986).

Since the rights to adapt "Dragon Ball" had not been acquired, some changes (mostly in name) had to be made:

Son Goku was renamed the Monkey Boy

Grandpa Gohan was renamed Sparkle

Bulma was renamed Seetou

Oolong was renamed Piggy

Yamcha was renamed Westwood

Yamcha's companion Puar was replaced with a cockatoo

Master Roshi was titled simply the Turtle Man

Penny was renamed Jen Jen

King Gourmeth was renamed King Horn, and his henchmen Bongo and Raven were renamed Zebrata and Malilia.

[shooks-stupid-stuff]

Shook, question, I remember awhile ago someone asking the order to watch dragonball + dbz and you said something about when to watch the movies and stuff? Could you maybe go over that agian? I'm planning on getting into the series and I have absolutely no idea where to start, let alone where I can even watch dbz. I know dragonball is on hulu (i assume english dub?) but is it important if i choose between dub or subs here? Sorry for all the questions its just. A bit overwhelming! Thank you much!

finally a question i am qualified to answer-

get ready for a long ass post-

ok so, if you want to watch all of it, be warned it will take a while and that some of the movies are kinda cringe.  but if ur good with that then i shall help u, and if u need help finding a place to watch some of the stuff then send me a dm and ill help u.

also if u enjoy it please hit me up i need more people to talk to about dbz stuff :’>

as far as sub vs. dub goes, i 100% reccomend dub, its genuinely just better.

i mean, unless you like hearing the same exact voice being used for like 5 characters, for both when theyre kids and adults-

as far as watch order goes, ill list it off for you (including the cannon movies, as i reccommend watching the non-cannon ones after youve actually finished the series, as theyre just kinda there for more content and are kinda inconsistent with the main plot anyways-)

1. Dragon ball (which is 151 episodes if i remember correctly)

2. Dragon ball Z OR Dragon ball Z Kai (291 and 98(?) episodes respectively; kai is basically Z minus the filler with updated voice acting, but is split into two parts so this is only the first 2 arcs)

2.5. Dragon Ball Z Kai the final chapters (69 episodes, its just the second half of kai if u choose to watch that instead of Z)

3. Dragon ball Super (131 episodes), OR DBS episodes 1-2, Battle of Gods (movie), 15-18, Resurrection F (movie) and 28-131 (the first 2 arcs of super are just the movies but longer and filler packed but slightly different, so you could just watch the movies instead if you rlly wanted to.  plus the battle of gods movie has vegeta acting like a dumbass and the show doesnt sooo-)

4. DBS Broly (aka literally the best movie, thank god its cannon-)

5. Dragon ball GT (64 episodes, technically not cannon and alotta people say it sucks but rlly i think its fine. it tries to take itself too seriously tho lmao)

and other than that there’s the rest of the movies, which ill just catagorize into where they’re meant to fall in the plot real quick:

Dragon Ball (most of these are re-tellings of parts of the plot with a twist): Curse of the Blood Rubies, Sleeping Princess in the Devil’s Castle, Mystical Adventure, and Path to Power

Dragon ball Z (gonna split this one up by the main 4 arcs/sagas): 

-Between OG DB and DBZ: Dead Zone

-Saiyan Saga/Beginning of Namek Saga: World’s Strongest, Tree of Might

-Freeza Saga: Lord Slug, Cooler’s Revenge

-Android/Cell Saga: The Return of Cooler, Super Android 13, Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan

-Post Cell Saga/ Pre Timeskip: Bojack Unbound

-Pre Buu Saga: Broly Second Coming, Bio-Broly (these both suck imo, broly didnt get to be a good characetr till the cannon movie-)

-Buu Saga: Fusion Reborn, Wrath of the Dragon (WotD is kinda more post buu saga but whatever-)

Dragon Ball GT: A Hero’s Legacy

Cannon/Dragon Ball Super: Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Dragon Ball Super Broly

and thats about it!!  but one last thing, just a personal reccomendation from me, I highly reccomend watching Dragon Ball Z Abriged by TeamFourStar on youtube as well, because honestly its hilarious and does something better than the actual show-

but yeah, thank you for your question and i hope this helps!! :>>

Yeah I know I have been posting a lot of Dragonball stuff, I have sort of been on a kick as of late, sorry about that. Might as well explain why: Way back around 1995-96 was when I first got into anime. I mostly watched Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cats, but I also remember commercial for a show called Dragonball that was airing at the time, I am pretty sure I saw an episode or two of it. Of course it wasn’t successful and quickly got replaced with Dragonball Z. Which I did watch regularly. Back then we had the Ocean dub and it was roughly 65 episodes or so, and they just played them over and over for years. So that pretty much was DBZ. That was it. Unless you were a dedicated fan like me. I would look up stuff on the internet, back then there where tones of rumors and weird information, I never made much sense of it. But I recall finding the Dragonball film Curse of the Blood Rubies and renting it from the video store multiple times. And searching long and far for them, I picked up a few Dragonball (not Z) comics, like American style 32 page comic books, they where bits and pieces but it seemed so cool. So I started to get into DB really early. Then all of a sudden Toonami started airing new episodes of DBZ, the new voices sounded weird, but it was cool to finally find out what happened. At this point all my classmates where also into DBZ and we would talk about it and be so hyped about what would happen next. The middle school Cell arc started, I didn’t get to watch uninterupted, but it was also a bit disappointing. I got full mange volumes of the DB manga though. I got to complete the whole Pilaf arc. And then the DB anime started so I was really more into that. I still watched Z to see what happened, but it was feeling like a very different show then what I started with. It weird that how and when you are exposed to something shapes your perception of it. DBZ was a totally different thing, different voice actors, no super saiyans, only the earliest episodes. The DBZ people talk about now? Feels totally different from the DBZ I grew up watching. I still enjoy DB with no exceptions, but DBZ is just a mixed feelings thing for me, I ultimately ended up disappointed. Worth mentioning I also have a similar experience with Sailor Moon.
