Dragon Ball ZIf somebody asks a ten year old about Japan, he would definitely not talk about Japan’s state-of-the-art technology or mouth-watering sushi. Instead, he’ll rave about Dragon Ball and sailor moon or spontaneously start singing Dragon Ball Z theme song. Dragon Ball is a Japanese manga written and created by Aikra Toriyama that began in mid-1980s in Japan. Soon, it became hugely popular across the globe. The wildly popular Dragon Ball has been made into three anime series, seventeen animated feature films, and three TV specials. Dragon Ball Z is an offshoot of the Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball Z collectables like card games, video games, toys with Dragon Ball theme and DVDs are very popular among kids. Not just this, a live-action Dragon Ball Z movie, directed by James Wong, will be released in April 2009. Today, every hardcore Dragon Ball fan has a Dragon Ball Z psp or Dragon Ball Z ps2 game or at least a Dragon Ball Z DVD collection to boast about. Dragon Ball Z series was created by Toei Animation as soon as the Dragon Ball series ended. All the key characters are present in the new story as well. This new series picked up where the first left off. Dragon Ball Z series starts with Raditz and Goku touring Earth to find out the reason for Goku’s unachieved task of destroying this planet. The plot revolves around the adventures of Goku. He is the hero of Dragon Ball Z and is the most powerful warrior on planet. Goku soon finds out the baffling secret of his own past; that he is a Saiyan. He was sent as a baby to destroy Earth, but a head injury as a child messed up Goku's life. Instead becoming a destructive super-warrior, he ended up being innocent and noble. But, he prefers fighting against evil rather than being a super-warrior. As Goku and other Dragon Ball Z warriors endeavour to protect the planet against evil bodies, the story emphasizes the theory of good and evil. Apart from Goku, there are several other Dragon ball Z characters like Raditz from whom we can learn several virtues that teach us to be optimistic and live a better life. The story also shows how teamwork and trust ultimately leads to success. One can learn a lot from Dragon Ball Z and hence, it is a must-watch anime series. Aikra Toriyama has beautifully interwoven the Dragon Ball Z characters in the story. Chris Forbis and Christopher Neel made extra efforts to make the story more interesting. Daisuke Nishio directed the series. While Kyle Hebert dubbed as the narrator, Christopher Sabat dubbed for Piccolo, Sean Schemmel for Goku, Sonny Strait for Krillin. Dragon Ball Z have total eight seasons and the series has 276 released episodes, each having 26 minutes’ duration. Dragon Ball Z DVDs have been translated in Spanish and English language in order to reach international markets. As a result of this smart move, today Dragon Ball Z DVDs are not only available in Japan but also have a high value in US, Canadian market and several European countries. |
