70. Dragon Ball Z (1989)
SeabassDebeste (4/4)


DBZ is, without a doubt, the biggest anime to ever hit the United States. Nothing out there is as far-reaching and iconic as this show. It is, however, one that I haven't seen a whole lot of, and don't know if I ever will. When I was a kid, I didn't have Cartoon Network at home, so all of my anime consumption was from WB and Fox. I did get to see DB on occasion, when I would visit my Grandpa's house, and I fucking loved it. It's a show where I remember more about from when I was 7 or 8 than show's I saw a few years ago, which is a testament to how memorable it is, I guess.

Unfortunately, I can't really rank it much higher, even though I only really have fond memories, since I've seen so little of it altogether. Frieza was always my favorite villain, and the introduction to Cell was terrifying. I always got sad when they killed characters off, but they would usually come back at some point. There were a number of tournament arcs that I don't think I ever saw fully, but they were always fun to watch. I remember the Hercule vs. Android 18 battle making me laugh my ass off.

I've always been interested in watching this show in full, but the sheer volume of episodes always turns me off. I know Kai helped to remedy the issue a bit, but you still have 150+ episodes of the original series, 150+ episodes of Kai, then however much Super is continuing to add. I just don't see myself ever getting through that much content. I'm sure if I had Toonami as a kid, I'd be way more into the show these days, but now, it rests as a childhood memory, and not much more.
