    Episode 50 - Dragon Ball (1986) (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Episode 50! We made it. And to celebrate, we're watching a key pillar in anime -- 1986's Dragon Ball. Though made in the '80s, most American viewers probably wouldn't have seen it until the early 2000s after the end of the massively popular sequel series Dragon Ball Z. Akira Toriyama's original work is a little bit different than what the franchise would go on to be known for, but it's an interesting case study into anime, Japanese gag manga, western cartoon influences and more. Hosted on Acast.
