I’ll be frank, I thought DBZ was weird as shit for the first 3 episodes my friend forced me to watch. But somewhere on the 4th or 5th, I started to care about what was going to happen next. It was much later I was hooked. DBZ was the source of 10s of thousands of hours of daydreams when I was a kid. Somehow it was just the coolest thing.
To this day I still have always wanted to make a serious live action version that wasn’t the awful garbage that has been attempted previously.
