Dragon Ball
From Conservapedia
Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール, Doragon booru) is a anime by famous mangaka Akira Toriyama. The series started as a manga, but was adapted to television due to its enormous success. It was animated by Toei Doga (now Toei Animation) and it had 153 episodes that ran from February 26, 1986 to April 12, 1989. The popular anime spawned a sequel, Dragon Ball Z, which in turn was followed by Dragon Ball GT.
History
The series follows the adventures of a young Son Goku (inspired by the character in Journey to the West) and his friends as they search the world for the seven magic Dragon Balls. Dragon Ball is characterized more by themes of exploration and friendship than its successors, which are much more fighting oriented.
