DBZ Story
| Dragonball
is a Japanese anime series that was first published in a
weekly comic anthology called Shonen Jump. Based on a
collection of old Chinese monkey legends, within time
this adventure type manga with comedic elements would
become one of the worlds most popular anime series to
hit mainstream. Now syndicated in various parts of the
world. The Dragonball series is becoming more and more
effervescent as it hits household's everywhere. |
| Aimed
at a general audience, the phenomenon created by its
founder Akira Toriyama would help etch the idea of
Japanese animation beyond its eastern shores. Japan
would receive its first glimpse of Dragonball as it was
published as a manga in December of 1984. The idea of an
adventurous little boy would catch the eyes of many, as
this series would rise to become one of the top selling
titles of Shonen Jump. |
| After
the realization of the series' continuing growth,
Dragonball would bounce from the simple pages of a comic
book and become an animated television series. The first
episode would air on the 26th of February 1986. The
original concept of Dragonball was about a hero called
Son Goku and his continuing search for all seven
dragonballs, which would grant the bearer of all seven
mystical balls a single wish. |
| The
Dragonball series would grow and undoubtedly change
introducing the elements of Martial Arts and other key
characters. The popularity would rise even further, as
it would start into its second series, known as
Dragonball Z. After 291 episodes, Akira Toriyama would
leave the world of Dragonball behind. Yet the series
continued on without him in Dragonball GT. With the
long-standing success of the overall series, DBGT would
provide its fans the last of Dragonball. But it is the
fans today with the aide of companies such as FUNImation
and Viz Comics, which provide the continuing growth and
release of the series. |
