Dragon Ball
A girl named Bulma is on a road trip through a fantasy version of rural Asia hunting for the seven Dragon Balls — magical artifacts that grant a single wish to whoever collects them all — when her car breaks down outside the cabin of a tail-having forest child named Son Goku. Goku is preternaturally strong, owns one of the Dragon Balls, and has no idea what a girl is. Bulma talks him into joining her search. Their road trip becomes a martial-arts tour: Master Roshi the lecherous turtle hermit, the prickly disciple Krillin, the King Piccolo lineage, and the World Martial Arts Tournament in which all of them eventually compete.

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
