Nerdiness Episode XIII

So the first anime I ever saw was Dragon Ball Z, don't make fun, it is actually really good. So let me start from the top, the main character is an almost extinct race known as Saiyans. The Saiyans hail from Planet Vegeta, which was blown up by an evil tyrant known as Freiza. The main character is Goku(Kakarot), who didn't show much promise as a Saiyan warrior, so they sent him to conquer Earth because they figured he could handle it. But when he arrived he fell and hit his head losing all memory of his mission, where Grandpa Gohan finds him and takes him in as his own. Goku grows up thinking he is an average human child, but that all changes when he meets Bulma, a teenage girl on a mission for the 7 Dragon Balls that grant any wish. They begin their adventure together and Goku shows promise as a fighter, slowly learning more and more becoming one of the strongest fighters in existence.

Which brings us up to Dragon Ball Z. Goku is an adult now, married to Chi Chi, with his son, Gohan. And all seems at peace until another Saiyan named Radditz lands on Earth. Shocked that it is not yet conquered he goes to confront Goku. Goku, who now cares for the people of Earth, obviously would never kill them. So Radditz takes Gohan, causing Goku to go after him. This starts a whole new series of adventure, and many powerful enemies arise, but Goku is there to defeat them, except in the case of Cell, whom Gohan defeats and claims his place as the universe's strongest fighter. Through nine seasons of battle and death and resurrection, this show has made me feel all the feels you could expect, and that is why this show will always be one I recommend and watch over and over.
