Dragonball

I haven't watched many anime apart from the mainstream stuff (Pokemon etc) I watched like 10/11 episodes of Dragon Ball recently and really enjoyed it, but looking more forward to Dragon Ball Z since I watched a few episodes of it as a kid and was a little obsessed with it. But what put me off about Dragon Ball is I was going to watch it to understand the story first but there's so many episodes, it seems like too much of a grind for me to finish.
