From Lelola.net = = = It all started off as a manga comic book called Dragon Ball by Arika Toriyama. Arika based the story on the ancient chinese legend of the monkey king. Then the anime came out to go along with the manga. This was the first step in the success of Dragon Ball. The anime was a hit. The story of the little boy with a tall and great strength captured the imagination and hearts of people of all ages in Japan. The story in the manga had a break in it. After this break, the story got a whole new feel to it! It became more action packed and more powerful. Before this break is the Dragonball series, but after, is the most popular Dragonball series, Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Z became a hit right away! The exciting tale became a legend of epic proportions! A few years after the end of Dragon Ball Z, a new anime called Dragon Ball GT came out. This series had a different look and feel to it. The animation was different and it wasn’t based on any manga. Arika did, however, work on it. After GT ended, the Dragonball saga came to an end. Or did it? Currently Dragonball is airing in many languages in countries all over the world. As long as the story lives in the hearts and imaginations of people, the saga will never end, and the legacy of Dragonball will last for eternity!

I quite like Dragon Ball...I think even though it is getting old- it remains an anime classic along with Sailormoon. I've got a dragonball video game, and the last episode of it. Even though some people might think that it's boring how most of the battles is defeated by the spirit bomb, or Goku, but I find that very touching...it is the spirit of the world that protects and defeats evil... Dragon Ball is also another anime that teachs us valuable lessons in life and brings up the ideas of peace and love.

Oh yeh- Android 18 is cool..but I can't believe she would marry Krillin ¬ .¬ Anyhows.. here's a summary of Super Android 17 saga. Warning: contains *Spoilers* = = = Saga Number of Episodes: 26 (Japanese) After the defeat of Bebi, a Tenkaichi Budoukai is held. Goku is forced to participate in the children's division because of his appearance. Meanwhile, in hell, Myuu and Dr.Gero create a new/old android, Artificial 17. Artificial 17 was created to merge with the old Android 17 to form the ultimate Android. Along with Articial 17, all of Goku's former enemies are also emerging from hell. Goku decides to go into hell to stop them all from the source, including Artificial 17. But as Goku goes in, 17 leaves, and the portal is closed. Goku is then stuck there fighting Cell and Frieza. Artifical 17 is up on Earth fighting Vegeta, when the real 17 comes along, and they fuse, becoming Super Android 17. Now he is crushing all of the Z warriors with ease, and Goku must get back up to Earth in time. Piccolo and Dende attempt to open a new portal from Hell to Earth in order to get Goku out of Hell. After some doing, Goku is finally able to escape using the portal. At the time, Super Android 17 kills Dr.Gero (again) and claims that Dr.Myuu is his true master. Finally, the hero arrives, and goes Super Saiya-jin 4. The fight begins, and it's heated. But Goku cannot defeat 17. In an attempt to kill 17 by self destructing, Goku is turned back into his child form, and can't complete the attack. It is around that time that Goku realizes that 17 is vulnerable while absorbing energy. So 18 attacks 17, and Goku uses his Dragon Fist to destroy Super Android 17. No idea- but I saw some for sale on VCD for $8 Aus and $12 at Chinatown in Sydney.

My 10 year old brother loves the show for some reason, he comes home from school, finishes his homework just to watch Dragonball *rolls eyes* its a wierd show from my perspective.
My brother wanted me to play the storyline part of the dragonball ps2 game we got so I understand a bit of the overall plot.
I think it used to be popular though a few years ago?
