Find the Dragon Balls, Look Out for Them All! – Dragon Ball Review Series
One thing to know about me is that I may not be a movie buff, but I’m a huge Dragon Ball fan. In fact, I’d admit I’m a bigger Dragon Ball fan than The Lion King and my love for the series might be on par with my passion for Sonic the Hedgehog. I’ve played a majority of the Dragon Ball games, read the O.G. manga through Dragon Ball Super, watched all 4 Dragon Ball shows, all 15 Dragon Ball Z animated movies, Dragon Ball GT’s movie epilogue, both Dragon Ball Super movies, and, unfortunately, the live-action Dragonball Evolution movie.
There are some animated movies created during the O.G. Dragon Ball era, but I didn’t watch any of those as they’re not canon and make some drastic changes to things already established within the continuity. There is a Dragon Ball film released in 1996 called Dragon Ball: The Path to Power that I’ve yet to watch, but I intend to watch it very soon. It will kick off my review series for Dragon Ball.
The review series will consist of 20 movies from Dragon Ball through Dragonball (the trash universe that Evolution was set in). Please find the full list of movies below:
| Dragon Ball | Dragon Ball Z | Dragon Ball GT | Dragon Ball Super | Dragonball |
| Dragon Ball: The Path to Power | Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone | Dragon Ball GT: A Hero’s Legacy | Dragon Ball Super: Broly | Dragonball Evolution |

One thing to note regarding my review series: This will be only the Funimation dubbed versions of the movies. There are multiple dubbed versions, most notably the Ocean Dub. I’m sorry, but those dubs suck. The voice acting was not it, and Funimation has the absolute best track record for dubs. I’m likely not going to feature any other dubbed versions besides Funimation.
I also like watching subbed DB, but I always prefer dubbed versions. If I write reviews for the subbed versions, they’ll be added quietly and not in another series run. I highly doubt the scores would be vastly different, and I’d likely be repeating points from the dubbed reviews.
Regular blog posts will be posted while this series is ongoing. Any specialty reviews, such as new movie reviews, will be posted on Tuesday evenings during the series. Once the series has been concluded, I’ll follow up with a blog post ranking the Dragon Ball movies from my least favorite to my absolute favorite. Be sure to look for the Dragon Ball reviews every Thursday evening starting next week. Enjoy!
