  • I know absolutely NOTHING about Dragon Ball.
    In this video, I unbox the Dragon Ball Manga Box Set and try to read all volumes 1-16. Since I have never read or seen Dragon Ball before, I have NO NOSTALGIA to the series, and I can give my honest thoughts and review on the manga.

    The original "Dragon Ball" was actually supposed to be a gag manga thats why there's pervy moments, if you've seen akira toriyama mostly had gag mangas before dragon ball, some like dr slump. As time passes it became more of a fighting shonen manga

      I always kinda loved that about dragonball. It goes from breaking the forth wall and gags left and right. Then as the series continues and Goku gets older Toriyama obviously started taking it more seriously and it started a whole bunch of tropes we see in manga later down the line.

      kinda sad he only read it..the anime version of original dragonball kicks ass with good filler content...like goku getting married and training between the tournaments ...you miss some good training in the manga..its just skipped over so goku being so strong is more of a surprise to us like the others where as in the anime you see him train so is less shocking ..same thing with gohan early on in z...so yeah i prefer that part of the anime...it actually lets us grow with the kid instead of pretend like thats not relevant but for example yamcha and blooma's eventual pointless relationship is so vital to show on panel...hate that

    As someone who's been a fan of Dragon Ball for over a decade, I'm happy to see people are still getting into the series! Also, as an fyi, when Dragon Ball was published in Japan, the entire manga (including the "Z" portion) was just called Dragon Ball. So technically, you still have 26 more volumes of Dragon Ball to go. Enjoy the rest of the series! Looking forward to your next review! :D

      yeah but your not suppose to rush through long shounen ..something i have noticed many people now a days do is they rush through content cause theres so much of it out there that they want to catch up to modern series to be informed or to interact with the community with no fear of spoilers and to start the next one and finish older series and support all the new stuff so it continues on or just buy it and never read it or plan to 10 years from now ...and with dragonball i prefer the anime...its very childish and simple in manga form and the z portion is so boring to read due to lack of comedy...what he did is the worst way to enjoy retain and form a bond with said series...you miss so much...its not always about what is shown said is happening..its about what it means narrative wise...themes messages character development progression or characterization wise..when you rush you miss this..other series you can binge..shounen is about the journey growing up with its basic but well explored ideals and themes...its week to week little growth progress...its not for everyone but kids are meant to watch it and learn as they mature so it is their teacher in a way...your suppose to have nostalgia for a childhood series that helped you get through moments of life or taught you that week how to deal with a issue that came up right then...

I can relax, he’s had a month the DBZ video probably already exists” then I go to your channel AND ITS NOT OUT! (I’m not rushing you this was just my initial reaction. Work at your own pace) I’ll be keeping a close eye waiting though. Good luck. (Also I see your newest video is One Piece. I think it’s weird to read One Piece before finishing Dragon Ball since DB was the direct inspiration for One Piece but to each their own)

    I'm really glad you're enjoying Dragon Ball! This is my 2nd favorite manga of all time , and it's good to see you having a good time reading it. Tho I understand some minor "gripes" you have with it, which are perfectly fine, it's nice to see someone be able to see Dragon Ball for what it is, without big nostalgia glasses. And it's cool to see that someone who knew nothing about the series, be able to enjoy something I love as well. Also if you wanna review another manga, I recommend Mob Psycho 100, the art isn't that "great", but I think it compliments the story, and the story is really captivating, it's also my favorite manga of all time.

    I love both these box sets. When I was younger I enjoyed Z more, but as adult I grew to enjoy og dragon ball more than Z. Dragon Ball Super manga is something I read as a hardcore fan, but the new guy doing it doesn’t touch the original author’s work.

    I always preferred DB to DBZ, so this was a fun video to watch :P Don't know how you compare the two yet, but glad you enjoyed the first part of the series! I love how lighthearted and "epic" the moments are, and as you say at the end, the more these "epic moments" happen the less interesting they are, but Z does still have lots of those moments too. My favorite arc in the kid goku sagas is definitely pilaf and red ribbon superhour

    Glad you had a good time 💖😊 Dragonball's absolutely iconic. It's such a terrific series and surprisingly underrated, at least in terms of the manga given that most of us here most likely grew up on the anime and never really gave the manga a chance. I was certainly one of those people. Bruce Faulconer's score in the original dub really made the series for me. He just had a way of capturing the feel of an epic action story, imbuing the characters with the sense of true badassery with his iconic soundtracks.
    Still, I'm very happy I went back and read Dragonball in manga form. Toriyama's a genius at drawing manga. His panel-layouts are something to be behold. It makes Dragonball a thoroughly engaging read. For anyone who isn't into reading comics and wants to get into one, I highly recommend Dragonball as a beginner's manga. The excellent structure of Toriyama's panels makes it a friendly experience for new readers to get hooked onto, for sure

    I randomly stumbled on volume 1 of Dragon Ball (a French version of it) on a shelf at a Wal-Mart when I was a kid, and decided to buy it some 20 years ago. Little did I know that series would change my life in terms of my liking into Japanese culture and anime in general. Over the year, I kept buying new volumes until I eventually got all 42. It's amazing when you find a series you know nothing about that just happen to be very good.

      Dragon Ball at the beginning is very different from the end of Dragon Ball Z, but if you read it all back to back you can feel the tone and structure of the story slowly changing into what it eventually became. I remember seeing King Piccolo squat down and start screaming for a full minute to power up and I was like, bam, that’s it. It’s finally crossed the threshold into being all about the action and much less about the adventure.
      Not that that’s a bad thing, I actually love DB and DBZ equally and choose to think of them as one long story, since they weren’t originally made to be separate series.

      For me dragonball z started getting iffy with majin buu. I actually appreciated the Cell arc because it brought back the red ribbon army and all of the androids felt nostalgic when you remember android 8. I'd argue Cell's arc was my favorite personally because so much happens with the characters. Buu had some great moments and I appreciate them bringing some of the mystical stuff from the original dragonball back, buu himself wasn't a well thought out villain and I felt Toriyama lost his touch with the characters. Makes sense because apparently Toriyama admitted he was basically miserable when writing the buu arc because he just wanted the series to end.

      @@championgreen4963 Don't get me wrong, I really like the cell arc, especially the time travel stuff. But it just didn't have the same exhilarating, addictive feel anymore. It didn't feel like we raised the stakes(which is due to doing it too quickly in previous arc, went from strongest fighters on earth to strongest fighter in the universe in basically one arc. So then they had to invent stronger beings but it just didn't feel like they were stronger, at this point they should be destroying planets from regular fighting but they don't.)

Also HOW DID NO ONE MENTION VOLUME 9?! I wasn't ready for that. I feel like i knew a lot sooner but i still wasn't ready. I finished vol.16 this morning and decided to rewatch this video to see how differently i viewed it. It was weird to know understand your updates.
