    • Quotes

      Krillin: Slow down! You know if I lose my grip on you I'll fall through this cloud!

      Goku: Well if you would stop thinking bad thoughts then it wouldn't be a problem!

      Krillin: Fat chance.

      Goku: Hey Krillin look, do you think Master Roshi would like that lady over there?

      Krillin: You mean I have to look down? Goku that's a man!

      Goku: Really? How can you tell? Gosh, they all look pretty much the same to me.

      Krillin: Huh? You're joking, right? I mean you really can't tell the difference?

      Goku: Well, usually I can figure it out. I just have to touch them first.

      Krillin: Hmm? In case you couldn't tell, I'm a boy.

      Goku: Oh!

    • Crazy credits
      When FUNimation redubbed the original Dragon Ball in 2000, they kept the Japanese intro/outro credit songs, and had English speakers sing them. This was the first time FUNimation kept music from the Japanese version of a Dragon Ball series.
    • Alternate versions
      There are four different distinct English dubbed versions of this series:
      • a dub from Harmony Gold in 1989 that played very briefly in the US,
      • a heavily edited dub from Kidmark in 1995 that played in several English-speaking countries,
      • an uncut dub from Funimation in 2001 (played edited on US TV) that is shown in only in the US and Australia,
      • and a slightly edited Canadian dub from 2003 that plays only in Canada and in the UK.

    One Hell of a show!
    I have to say that Dragonball is by far my Favorite series of all time. Its the show that got me into anime and I cant wait to buy all the seasons remastered when they come out.

    The Dragonball story is goofy, fun, and all around brilliant! It throws great humor with huge action and you cant beat it. I started Dragonball by reading the manga when I was younger and still love them and the show is just as good if not better! Sure, some stuff form the manga has been taken out of the show but thats because some of that is more mature(nudity) then would be for the audience.

    All in all, Dragonball is one show you need to see in it entirety to feel its greatness. I recommend it to everyone because its that good and every age can enjoy it. From the silly monkey boy to the perverted Turtle Hermit, its all out fun.
