I think it's fair to say that Dragon Ball Z was probably the most successful anime series of the late 1980s and of the entire '90s decade, drawing in large amounts of viewers in Japan and around the world.

The only confounding thing was that it took several years before DBZ was ever shown on American television. Sadly, the series was first a failure when brought to America in 1996, but when rebroadcasts of the first 52 episodes made it to cable TV in 1998, kids and anime fans finally found the show and it became a hit. A few months ago, my country's Cartoon Network cable channel finished showing the Majin Boo saga which concluded DBZ.

You mean DragonballZ actually has a conlcusion? After what, 250 episodes? I will watch DBZ from time to time, but I prefer the cute and romantic types of anime over the action types.

I like a lot DBZ, the bad thing in my case is that i saw it to late... here in Ecuador is recent this days on tv and its very succesfull....
any way i like some other cartoons li Cowboybeebop!! its amazing!!

DBZ had to have some kind of ending.
The Japanese are sticklers for giving their manga and anime
features definite ends, something that American comics writers
and animators seldom do.

The only thing corny about DBZ's ending was Son Goku flying
off into the sunset with the reincarnated Boo, renamed Uub.

The sequel show Dragon Ball GT doesn't interest me much, mainly
because it's not based on a manga. Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama
ended his manga with Goku and Uub flying away. He had no part in the
GT anime series.

Back to many many many, yes, many years of time, still remember the first time I touched a comic book, I gave my debue reading to DragonBallZ series. Though I cut into it as it had been way many eposides ahead the one I read, I was crazily and immediately got stuck to it. First time reading a black and white mini-shaped comic books, the kind of feeling was more than mist to describe.

I forgot when I stopped reading this great masterpiece, maybe back to my senior or maybe junior high but I still have the less satisfying impression of the ending of this title. How could I say? I remember that the end of it was way too much a crap or say a never-clean wrap-up.

say, maybe that was the reason why I stopped reading this book. And, for the aftermath following the second birth of it, sorry, I'd been a completely outsider.

Recently, I would unwrap the box and reread the whole series, and reenjoy the pleasure it once brought to me while I was young. I think nowadays, to me, reading those old hits doesn't concern that much about the content but the past memories of which how I struggled to read them all with obstacles and sense of achievements.
