Episode Guide

DragonBall-

"Dragonball", Toriyama's second manga turned TV series, was an extremely successful show which spawned 4 movies and two additional TV series. It is based on an ancient Chinese folk tale about a monkey boy (Goku), a three-eyed god (Tenshinhan), and a desert bandit (Yamcha). Even though all three series have long since ended, Dragonball still has a large legion of fans all across the globe. With it's fairly recent release on American TV, Dragonball has become one of the most popular animated series of all time.

DragonBall Z-

When the first series ended it's run on TV, the manga was still being produced by Toriyama. Wanting to tap into the comic's success, a new series was created known as "Dragonball Z," which continued the story of Son Goku and his adventures.

DragonBall GT-

"Dragonball GT" was produced mainly for one thing: money. When Toriyama finally ended his massive manga, the TV executives decided to go on without him. Dragonball GT proved to be a moderately successful series, but by this time Dragonball had become stale in Japan, and it ended relatively early.
