Return to Dragon Ball Z After Many Years

There are few people in m y generation in America that have not heard of this most famous of Anime.  Featuring men with spiky hair that tends to turn golden (and now blue) in combat, its quite iconic.

While I enjoyed it is a child, I grew up and was away from this anime for a while.  Here now I will reflect on my thoughts of this Anime.

I have found as I have matured, I am looking for something very unique story wise.  Dragon Ball by no means has a weak story, but it pales in comparison to an Anime such as Death Note or Full Metal Alchemist(my favorite anime of all time)  Still, the point of Dragon Ball is for its action sequences where witty banter is mixed in for good measure.  In this way, the anime delivers spectacularly.

Returning to watching the characters, I have found that as with many Anime that I loved as a child, I now find the character voices a bit obnoxious and the dialogue even more so.  Of course I am also spoiled when it comes to dialogue.  i spend much of my time reading Brandon Sanderson after all.

I beleive that the reason that I do not enjoy Dragon Ball to the full extent that I should is due to me looking for things that are not there.  Even worse, I am overthinking.  As a writer, that is in my nature, but in this case, I am ruining my own enjoyment of he show.

I digress though.  after watching the newest movie: Dragon Ball Resurrection F, which features Freeza, who is quite possibly the most iconic villain in the series, it will allow me to make that final push to return to my childhood.

I will be watching Dragon Ball Kai.  i cannot judge the full product without having it in front of me after all.
