Lewd stance

When did this happen ?

By using the fucking catalog

1. Manga (or Dragon Ball anime, if watching anime, start reading manga after Piccolo jr. saga, alternatively Kai)

2. Ossu, Son Goku and Friends

3. Kami to Kami + Freezer's movie

4. Dragon Ball Super episode 27 + manga stating with chapter 6

Rest, besides Jaco is irrelevant. Read Jaco at any point, it's self-contained, but by the end if you are a fan of DB you'll enjoy fanservice.

Read the mango, disregard everything else.

>thinks you should skip og dragon ball
yea no

Watch the old DB anime in its entirety then watch DBZ until the end of the Frieza saga. After that it's watchable but not really good.

You'd be correct if you said og Dragon Ball Z, however I did say og Dragon Ball is an alternative to reading manga. Z however is not.

By reading dragonball

Read the manga, watch Abridged.

Start with GT, It skips all the pointless shit.

What if I wanted to watch the Dragon Ball Z anime. Which version should I get?

>read the manga
>be dissappoited that everything after the first arc is a perpetual downhill
>have no desire to watch anime
>lose nostalgia goggles and realise that you used to watch some god awful shit when you were a child

>and now I only watch/fap to my idolshit! xD

>read the manga and watch the anime as a kid
>love it
>rewatch the DB anime as a 30-something
>still love it

Goku's entire youth is too broad to be called the first arc.

Don't

You start at Dragon Ball, then Dragon Ball Z, then the canon DBZ movies and finally Dragon Ball Super.

You can watch Dragon Ball without filler here:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=832044

Z without filler is known as "Kai" or "Z Kai" and you can get it here (Saiyan, Namek and Android Sagas aka episodes 1-98):
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=490256

Then before moving onto Boo Saga Kai, you watch the History of Trunks special (listed as Special 02 in this torrent):
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=770933

Kai Boo Saga first half episodes 99-141 (Boo Saga starts in Kai with Episode 99) here:
nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=dragon ball kai baaro

Kai Boo Saga second half (episodes 142-159):
nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=dragon ball kai unison

Then you watch the canon movies (set directly after events of Z/Kai) in order as follows:
Yo Son Goku and his Friends Return:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=538731

Battle of Gods:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=856870

Resurrection F:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=863887

Then you watch Super.
There's two ways of watching Super.
Either you watch it with retellings of Battle of Gods and Resurrection F arcs (which are pretty meh, the retellings, not the arcs) in which case you start at the beginning (so Episode 1), or you start at the Universe 6 Tournament Saga which is set directly after events of Resurrection F (in which case you start at Episode 28), no matter which you pick, here's all Super episodes:
Episodes 1-24:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=827317

Episodes 25-36:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=834565

Episodes 37-48:
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=881213

Starting with Episode 47 the Black Saga starts which is the currently ongoing one.
After you get up to speed with the links above, you will be left with going forward starting with episode 49 and as such you want these:
nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=dragon ball super dragonteam

It goes all the way up to episode 57.

Then you switch to these starting with Ep58:
nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=dragon ball batman

It goes all the way up to episode 62.

And then you watch these starting with Episode 63:
nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=dragon ball super horrible 1080p

I didn't know the Kai Boo saga was fully subbed. Thanks user

It is, and the JPN run is better than international since it had extra work done to it with better music placement, more filler removed, extra EDs, new OP and various color corrections to errors such as Super Boo's eyes and tongue.

Woops, forgot to take down the name.

Actually, Dragon Ball had near cancellation sales until Toriyama introduced Krillin and Tenkaichi Budokai.

Read the fucking manga.

But the manga doesn't have this.

Don't read the manga.
Don't skip the filler.
Don't watch KAI.
And for the love of god, ignore if somebody tells you to watch the dub. Don't do that.

>How do I get into Dragon Ball?
Start watching dragonball z, avoid original dragonball like the cancer it is.
Watch GT.
If you like GT, then you will prolly like Super.
Watch Super.
If you like Super, then you will prolly like original dragonball.
Don't watch original dragonball.

>You start at Dragon Ball
False.

Please fuck off back to Sup Forums or whatever shithole you crawled out of.

Are you both fucking stupid or just trying to trick OP?

>both
It's the same retard, look at the timecodes.

Watch DB
Watch the saiyan saga
Watch the namek saga until the fight with frieza
Read the fight with frieza
Read the android saga
Watch the cell games
Watch the buu saga
Don't share your manga vs anime opinion on super

What did he mean by this?

Fillerloving autists need to seek professional help.

>fillerloving dubshitters
Neck yourselves amerifats, you don't deserve to live

I get the hate for filler in Z because everything is so stretched out, but why would you cut half of the length of the original DB anime? It was just fine.

>How do I get into Dragon Ball?
Pump weights, eat right, be mad at your dad and get a punching bag at the store on sale 50% off and build a dragon radar!

watch the Dragonball movies
watch the Dragonball Firefighters and Street Safety videos
watch Dragonball Z

watch the Dragonball Z movies aside of BoG and RoF
watch the OVAs
watch GT
watch the GT movie
watch Kai
watch BoG and RoF
watch Super

Don't skip any filler aside of maybe the Garlic Jr. arc if you're a complete fuccboi. See you in a year.

>an action story is better in manga form than it is with the fights animated
Yeah, okay. Never understood this retarded stance.

From the beginning

I would only point a perpetual downhill right after picollo saga.

Picollo jr. tournament final set the awful standard for future dragon ball fights

That's because the anime is shit dummy.

kai it gets rid of all the filler

DBZ was the Death Note/FMA of its time judging by the amount of normies and faggots who reference it.

Shounen/mech has always been garbage with hyperbole and unrealistic characters. Plot that drags on for no fucking reason.

A masterpiece is one that is short and sweet with a condensed story that the viewer can analyze and take apart for years to come, leaving a greater impact.

This is just dilution of the concept.

the battles are shit anyway
they spend more time with retarded banter like "I'm going to beat you without using all my power" and screaming to transform than actually fighting, and once they begin it's one character throwing hundreds of punches and kicks and the other one blocking them and occasionally sent flying to a rock, there's no choreography and kids just liked it because it was fun to make the kamehameha pose and scream
