Dragon Ball Z

Overview

Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールZ) is a highly acclaimed TV. Produced by the renowned Toei Animation, this adaptation perfectly blends the Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Supernatural genres.

Adapts chapters 195-519 of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. The U.S. version is a dubbed alternative version of the original Japanese anime. For example, blood has been removed, beer is called root beer, the afterlife is called "Another Universe," and people emigrate before cities are destroyed. The U.S. version edited and compiled the original for a reduced episode count of 276 instead of the original 291. The proper episode count was later restored on the uncut "Orange Brick" Season Set released by FUNimation Entertainment from 2006 to 2009. Additionally, these sets as well as the Season Set Blu-rays crop the show from its original 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9. The only complete 4:3 release ever released in English were the Dragon Boxes, which have long since gone out of print.

With a deeply passionate fanbase, it has secured a global AniList score of 80% and attracted over 14,647 favorites worldwide. It currently holds a massive popularity ranking of #242006 globally, making it a must-read/watch for enthusiasts of the medium.
