Anime Reviews: My thoughts on every anime I have completed thus far

Dragon Ball Z Kai

So, recently after I finished Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, I thought Dragon Ball Z Kai, or DBZ  for short, was another anime that seemed interesting to me, so I started to watch that one as well. But, like I said about Naruto, when I go back to the anime, it just doesn't do much for me anymore. I don't know why, but that's just how I am. So, maybe before, when I had just finished the anime, I would've given it something like an 8, but I have a feeling I might rate DBZ a 5 or 6, just like Naruto.

So, without further ado, lets get started!

WARNING! THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

Story: 8/10

Ok, so like I said with Naruto, I really liked DBZ when I first watched it, but sadly, when I try going back to it, it just doesnt do the sane for me anymore. Im not saying that the story is bad, I liked it a lot to be precise. And yes, just like every other anime, DBZ has its flaws.

First off, battles are veeeeeery long. And I have to admit, some of them are enjoyable, if you're in that kind of thing. But if you cant get online to watch the series, and it comes on Television once a week, some battles can last weeks, months even. Sure, I love my share of extremely long animes, but without internet to binge watch the series, it took me forever to finish the series. Like what Im trying to get at is I really liked the story, its just the length and my capabilities to the internet at the time proved that lots of anticipation was found as I watched the anime. Sometimes that would be a good thing, and others it wouldnt, mainly because excitement would come for Saturdays, and other times i would be groaning in agony because Saturday was almost a whole week away, and I had to go through a full school week just to see one episode. Sometimes it would be very annoying, until I had recieved internet acess. After that, I sped through the anime way quicker, and Dragon Ball Z Kai became my 2nd completed anime. If I had given this series a review as soon as I finished it, I might have given it a 9 or 10 over all, but seeing that it doesnt do much for me as it did before, so this section i decided to give an 8.

Art: 8/10

Another 8/10 goes to the art. Now I have to admit, the art for this series is very simple and original. Unlike most animes that feature a lot of male characters, and plenty of references for the style of art in male characters, such as Free!, Naruto, and Daily Lives of High School Boys, never have I seen an anime that has such a fun and simple design to it. Unlike most animes, Dragon Ball Z Kai has a simple eye style, that usually conist of a single black pupil in a simple eye shape, like an arch, or oval shape, such as Goku and Nappa, while others do not have any white area to their pupils, such as Krillin. Some characters, like Bulma, have shinier eyes, which include a colored Iris, black pupil, and highlights and reflections to make the eye style more anime-like and cuter.

I actually liked the anime style a LOT. Its very unique and cute, a great change-up in art style, especially if youre looking for a change-up in your art style for once.

Sound: 9/10

To be honest, I really loved the soundtrack to Dragon Ball Z, it was a lot different than other soundtracks that Ive heard in the past (and future of course), that had a very lively tone to it. I mean theres not much to say about it that was bad about it, I enjoyed it a lot, and that's saying something, since when i go back to the series and im not enjoying it as i did before.

Characters: 7/10

Dragon Ball Z's character cast is pretty original, yet, even when watching it for the first time, I never really got attached to any of them, which is strange, since you usually have at least have one character you get attached to in an anime. I mean, you have your different species characters and plenty of little animals and creatures that are allies to the main character, Goku. And a plus to the character cast is that a good amount of characters can put up a fight, so if you really lile strong characters that take weeks for a fight to finish, this is an anime for you. There arent that many flaws on the series, except, like I mentioned before, I just didn't get attached to a character in the series, and Im not sure why. So, i believe this section deserves a 7/10.

Enjoyment/General: 6/10

So, another anime that I try going back to enjoy, that fails. I mean, I might've given it a 7 or 8, but, trying to rewatch now a days, it... Just doesnt do the same for me as it did the first time around. I mean, i really enjoyed it a few years ago, but I kind of lost interest when i tried to rewatch it, it just didnt do the same for me. So in general, I think i enjoyed this anime a 6/10.

That's about everything for now! If you enjoyed, feel free to give a like, and Ill see you all next time!
