Dragon Ball Z started out as a very peaceful story with Goku the star of the comic series training himself for fitness and strength the way the ancient people used to. Goku was not one of your usual humans but was actually from another planet, a planet that the gods lived on which gave him certain powers. As a boy Goku had to have his tale chopped off because this was the source of his angry power so now his full potential as a warrior was diminished until some of his friends reveal the story of his childhood and then unleash his ultimate fighting power.
A Japanese Manga film is about Goku and his tricky mates looking for the 7 magical dragon balls which will give them one wish which is to destroy the bad guys before they devour the world. By traveling on a magic cloud over the lands and running very fast these little adventurers find the right number of dragon balls and then save the world from it impending doom. The start out by training for some martial arts competitions where they end up finding out that the bad guys that are winning are really bad and that somebody has to stop them.
If you like most of the Japanese animations which most people have grown up with one or two over the years then you will most likely like the Dragon Ball Z series as well as the movies and following series. There is a great deal of violence in the series that have the fights in them including some characters that die which is unusual for cartoon characters to die. There is a heaven however which means that the characters are not gone for long but even so if you are letting you young kids watch this program then you is likely to have them ask about death and fighting.

To find all of the hidden dragon balls from around the world it will take the good guys in the story a very long time as well as some very long journeys. Lucky for most of the guys they can either fly around or they can jump very far so that each leaps takes them across another mountain top. This is the ways of learning a different style of martial arts which teaches Goku the main character of Dragon Ball Z to go all of the amazing things that he can do like create a spirit ball to destroy the giant enemy or jump so strongly he can almost circle the world in one go. Goku plus some of the other characters are able to talk to the gods in heaven for advice because Goku himself is part god from another planet. He is actually a very destructive force except that his tail was cut off and so his powers where not all they could be. His biggest challenge was his one kinsman from this planet who did have a tail however Goku was able to distract his enemy and then beat him using his wits rather than his strength.
This series of TV shows and the films are all very violent which is to say that they are not really designed for smaller children and are more suited to teens or adults. Not only is there always constant fighting but there is also blood spilt and characters dying. Like all of the Japanese animated movies you can take the good with the bad because many of the Manga movies and series are either graphic and contain violence as well as sex. The Dragon Ball Z series is definitely one of the best of all of the animated shows coming from Japan which has managed to keep its audience entertained for nearly two decades. The movies and merchandise are getting harder to find today because the original Dragon Ball Z started around 25 years ago or more. Today the latest movies can be found in the DVD stores or rental clubs otherwise if you would like to see some or more of the Dragon Ball Z animations you can download them from specific websites.
