Dragon Ball
Goku Son is a young boy who lives in the woods all alone—that is until a girl named Bulma runs into him in her search for a set of magical objects called the "Dragon Balls." Since the artifacts are said to grant one wish to whoever collects all seven, Bulma hopes to gather them and wish for a perfect boyfriend. Goku happens to be in possession of a dragon ball, but unfortunately for Bulma, he refuses to part ways with it, so she makes him a deal: he can tag along on her journey if he lets her borrow the dragon ball's power. With that, the two set off on the journey of a lifetime.
They don't go on the journey alone. On the way, they meet the old Muten-Roshi and wannabe disciple Kuririn, with whom Goku trains to become a stronger martial artist for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament. However, it's not all fun and games; the ability to make any wish come true is a powerful one, and there are others who would do much worse than just wishing for a boyfriend. To stop those who would try to abuse the legendary power, they train to become stronger fighters, using their newfound strength to help the people around them along the way.

My all-time favorite show

Comparing Dragon Ball To It’s Sequels (minor spoilers)
Best Dragon Ball series and better than the manga because there is no Boo Saga in this and pallet swap power ups.
- 86
An all around great anime, but rough around the edges
- 85
Classic show that still holds up today.
- 80
While an amazing anime, Dragon Ball finds itself stifled in its more serious arcs by the style of its director.
- 78
Criminally underwatched prequel origin story, arguably required watching
Would have been great if not for the pacing
