4th Rhetorical (Anime Impressions) Post ~ Dragon Ball

The final installment of the TCTD Quad should've been quite obvious for Anime fans out there. Full of testosterone manliness that raises our dopamine levels to over 9000, this Anime is action-packed, has memorable characters, and is has a barrage of nostalgia that'll go down as being one of most entertaining Anime(s) of the 90s. Spawning 291 episodes, multiple movies & videogames, & much much more (excluding 2 ~ GT & Kai), this Anime, alongside Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, & Trigun are what defined my childhood growing up. If you haven't guesses already by the picture, it's the renowned phenomenon ~ Dragon Ball Z. What can be said about this masterpiece? Sure, the run-time was only 30 minutes whereas the fight scenes last 5-20 episodes, but that didn't stop it from being entertaining. From childhood to adulthood, DBZ fans followed our main heroes ~ Goku, Vegeta (first villain turned ally), Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, and many too many to mention. Aliens who can amplify their power to that beyond one's comprehension fighting against one another to preserve peace & order in the Human World pretty much sums up DBZ. From memorable villains such as Frieza, Cell, & Majin Buu ~ DBZ knew how to entertain us with their winding fights. I'm not going into full detail on what happens in each episode, arc, and season because I don't think there's anyone out there who hasn't heard of this Anime. I haven't met a single person in my life that says they don't know DBZ. Of course we watched it when our hero Goku was small (as a kid), but when it went from him turning into a kid (GT), that's when audiences started distancing themselves from the franchise because GT didn't deliver as much as DBZ did. Don't even get me started with DB Kai because it's practically rhe same thing as DBZ w/enhanced animation and horrible dubs in comparison to DBZ's awesome dubs (props to the actors/actresses who had to yell). Overall, this show is martial arts to the extreme ~ showcasing fights so full of hype that it makes us jump for the joy the moment one goes Super Saiyan or does the renowned Kamehameha. Though cheesy I'll admit, DBZ still entertains audiences everywhere, creating a large fanbase and following that spawns new videogames & movies. So this Anime is over 9000 and it'll go down as one of my favorite Nostalgic Anime(s).

I hope you enjoyed the last installment of the TCTD Quad. The Rhetorical(s) posts will be renamed Legacy next week. Look forward to Legacy post every Thursday. Until then, you all stay classy now. WBCR & Throwback will be up tomorrow.
