Dragonball is the best one in the Dragonball animated series.

Rated TV-PG for Fantasy Violence and Some Sexual Content. Quebec Rating:G Canadian Home Video Rating:PG Canadian TV Rating:C8 or PG

Dragonball is a very funny and good show.I used to like DragonBall Z but now I don't find it good.I saw this show when I was 3 also but never payed attention to it.DragonBall is actually pretty funny and good.The YTV version censores lots of scenes.I find they should keep the violence intact but if they want the show to be for kids they should cut out sex,nudity and just the harsh language.DragonBall has a way better story than Dragonball Z as well.I have not seen DragonBall GT yet.The beginning of the series is about a young boy searching for the DragonBalls and getting into many misadventures.Also there are To Be Continued's in every episode.If you want to see a good Dragonball show don't watch Z or GT watch this one.Also try to read the graphic novel's but unfortunately they have only been in translated into the french language in Canada.Anyway a pretty good show.

Runtime:30min
