How To Watch All Of Dragon Ball In Order
So, you want to watch Dragon Ball. All of it. Good luck! It's a journey, not a sprint. Get ready for spiky hair and yelling. Lots and lots of yelling.
The "Official" Order (and Why It's Slightly Insane)
Here's the order everyone tells you to follow. It's... a way to do things. Prepare for a serious time commitment.
Dragon Ball
Start with the original! This is where Goku is a kid. He's got a tail. Things are... simpler. Relatively speaking, of course.
Must Read
Dragon Ball Z
Ah, DBZ. The one everyone remembers. Muscles get bigger. Hair gets spikier. The screaming? Off the charts.
Dragon Ball GT
Okay, here's where things get controversial. Many pretend GT never happened. It's... different. But hey, more Dragon Ball, right?
Dragon Ball Super
The newest kid on the block! Super retcons some of GT. It introduces gods. Even more yelling ensues.
The Movies: To Watch, or Not To Watch?
Then there are the movies. Some fit neatly into the timeline. Others... not so much. Treat them like fun side quests.
The Dragon Ball Z movies are generally considered non-canon. Still, they're fun! Cooler is cool (pun intended).
The Super movies, like Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F', are canon. Though the anime covers them too.
My Unpopular Opinion: Watch It However You Want
Here's the truth: Don't stress too much. Seriously.
Trying to maintain perfect chronological order can drive you mad. Especially with the movies. Just pick something and start watching.
Feel like seeing Goku as a kid? Watch Dragon Ball. Want instant action? Jump into DBZ.
Maybe start with Super. It’s newer and prettier. You can always go back. No one's gatekeeping here (I hope!).
It's like eating a pizza. Do you eat the crust first? Or dive straight for the cheesy center? It's your pizza. Your Dragon Ball.
The Real Order: Your Personal Order
The best order is the order that keeps you entertained. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Life's too short for strict viewing schedules.
Skip episodes if you want! (Gasp!). It's allowed. Filler arcs can be... a lot.
If you hate a character, who cares what they do! Fast forward.
Enjoy the ride! Laugh at the ridiculousness. Embrace the power-ups. That’s what Dragon Ball is all about. And remember the most important thing:
It's over 9000!
Okay, that’s all. Go forth and watch Dragon Ball. However you darn well please.
