Dragon Ball is one of the most famous franchises in history, having a massive fanbase in both America and Japan.

But this is far from the truth, as Dragon Ball is very well written, provided fans stick to the manga and avoid the anime. Unlike other franchises, Dragon Ball ‘s anime and manga are often considered together rather than as separate entities, but it’s easy to see why this is the case. The original Dragon Ball manga started in 1984 and ran until 1995, while the anime adaption, made up of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z , began in 1986 and ran until 1996.

Dragon Ball has over 20 filler episodes, Dragon Ball Z has over 30, and Dragon Ball Super has 22 filler episodes. While this […]
