^Dragon Ball has/is/will always be awesome!!!
Any way,
I first got into it back in about 1996 or so. I was at my Grandma's house and I was maybe 6 or 7 years old, and it was the first time I had ever stayed up ALL night. It was about 6:00 AM, and I flipped it onto FOX. They were playing the old Ocean Dub of DragonBall Z, and I fell in love with it. I didn't know it was anime(or even what that was) back then, but a few years later I came across DBZ on Toonami. Thats when I got into it.
I was watching only dubbed anime and knew very little outside of Dragonball up until 7th grade, when I bought an uncut DragonBall GT DVD. I watched the Japanese version and loved the theme song (Dan Dan) and ever sense then, I've been gettting into it!
