reruns, and my younger cousin and his friend would make fun of the show. Over the summer I'd be wtaching Frieza or Garlic Jr. Go figure) Years still went by and it wasn't until around the 6th grade did I start watching.

All that came to mind was blue hair (and one of my friends complained of me playing Bulma because they had to play Yamucha. In 5th grade, my friends were Role Playing Dragon Ball Z during recess (it had just started to air around that time.) Of course, I wanted to role play with them, but didn't know-or remember- any female characters. That wouldn't be for another few good years. Well, over the years I skipped through the episodes, never exactly becoming "hooked" and die hard. I can't tell you exactly what I remember, Master Roshi and his island come to mind at best. I laughed, and smiled, and of course enjoyed it. (God save my soul, I hated that show.) Well, I've been one who has followed and practiced Martial Arts my whole life, and since I was a huge fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and since I was sick in bed) I decided to watch Dragon Ball. I was sick and home from school, and it was airing on Fox Kids I believe. When I was in Kindergarten-first grade or so, I saw my first episode of Dragon Ball.

And I loved Dragon Ball (although I must say that the American dub of Dragon Ball is for more of the 11-under crowd if you ask me) Now, allow me to tell you my testimony of how I came to love the Dragon Ball series. Ok, ok, so I may be biased because DBZ may be one of my favorite shows of all time, and if not my favorite Anime`- EVER! But who cares? I love this show.
