About the show

Dragon Ball (Japanese: ドラゴンボール, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It ran for a total of 153 episodes on Fuji Television and its FNS affiliates from February 26, 1986, to April 19, 1989. The series adapts the first 194 chapters of the manga series Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama, which was published in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1995. The anime was broadcast in 81 countries worldwide and is the first animated television series in the Dragon Ball franchise. It follows the adventures of Goku, a young eccentric boy with a monkey tail and exceptional strength who has a passion for fighting and battling enemies.

Animated film adaptations based on the series include: Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies (1986), Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle (1987), Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure (1988), and the 10th anniversary film, Dragon Ball: The Path to Power (1996). The series was immediately followed by a 1989 direct sequel, titled Dragon Ball Z, which had its own follow-ups with Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball Daima. The English dubbed version of the original Dragon Ball series released in the United States was edited for content and dialogue.

Dragon Ball has been positively received, and is considered to be one of the best anime series of all time.
