It's girly, I'll admit that.

However it's also basically filler free and well paced.

The storyline is simple and concise.

The characters can be a bit strange, borderline gay. Heck probably gay.
But it does add some humor.

So give this anime a try since it's one of the shorter one too.

While the pace of the story is somewhat slow (classic villain of the day type of anime), ultimately the story itself isn't too bad.


The humor can be a bit dry sometimes.

What is impressive is how strong willed the sailor scouts can be without a man.

Go ahead and try it if your into girl power, if your not there still might something else. I encourage starters to try to bear with it at least until sailor mars is introduced. If your still not buying it by that point, then maybe this anime isn't for you.

To be fair, I will say DBZ was a childhood favorite. However, that was back when seeing screaming and macho fighting was enough to satisfy a kid's heart.

The storyline is rather weak though, especially with the filler clogging it up.


Speaking of which
The FILLER IS HORRIFIC.

The occasional plot twists aren't exactly suspenseful

... The worst part is how fights get stall to the point where the antagonists often can make a comeback with some tactical plotting.

Also, the dumb decisions made by the heroes lead to the villains living longer and getting stronger than necessary. Sometimes it really makes you think would you actually trust these men to save the world?

A more subtle issue is consistency of power levels. While it makes sense that the characters are getting stronger, the power of the attacks hitting a threshold and then resetting does not. A Kamehameha wave, a popular move in the anime, fluctuates in power over the course of the story even when the same character is using it. What could once destroy a hill can the destroy a whole city then a planet then back to just a mountain.

Holding back that power would only reinforce my point earlier of stalling out a fight.

At the end of the day,
the action is still amazing. It's an anime worthy a try albeit skipping all the filler. In fact, I suggest you try Dragon Ball Z Kai, a new, improved filler free version of the original.

The story started off slow enough, it doesn't help that pace gets slower once you hit the chunin exams and relief doesn't arrive till well past the introduction Tsunade.

The decent fights are full of bloated dialogue

What ticked me off was how overhyped people that Sasuke was.

What ticked me off even more was how filler increased when pace picked back up a bit around the Sasuke retrieval arc.

WHAT TICKED ME off the most was how there were so many frocking prodigies. Allow me to list: Sasuke, Kakashi, Neji, Shikamaru, Haku, Itachi, Kimimaro, Jiarya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Gaara, All the Aukatski, Any kage, basically anyone ... with kekkei ginkai. By the end even Naruto, the main character goes from idiot to prodigy in his own right.

Maybe in this alternated world, prodigies are the majority and your special if your actually not a genius

Don't finish this anime if you can't get hooked on by the 5th episode
