The anime is great...It's based on the manga mostly and doesn't have many fillers.
I 've never seen any dub versions of any anime and I believe that it's better to watch with subs.
As an anime it's great and very interesting,you might find it a little boring at the begining but afterwards it becomes epic!

Yes. I caught up by watching the anime and I don't regret it. The first episodes don't have very good quality though(they were made long ago).

Watch the dub anime as far as it takes you then keep watching untill you reach the latest episode before switching over to the manga and please suck it up the first 20 episode as it usually challenge the patience of new watchers.

The manga is better at parts then the anime, but the opposite can be said as well. The anime tends to leave a couple of things out because they aren't 13+ friendly.
Examples:
How Luffy got his scar on his face, was in the first chapter of the manga but let it out in the anime.
Also, how one person got half his face blown off and was still fighting like that.(Being very general cause I think you will still click the spoiler and don't want to ruin who did this.)

The examples don't take away from the plot, just some of the bad ass moments that could of become more bad ass if animated.

About the dub. I would really recommend you to watch the sub version. The voice actors are so amazing. I can understand if you are little and its hard to read subtitles. If you really can't do the sub version, find the Funimation dub. DO NOT watch 4kids dubbed version. The Funimation dub is up to the water 7 arc atm. This and the next arc are 2 of my favorite arcs. The story takes a dramatic twist and things become so amazing. Something also notable about the voice actors of the funimation dub. Most of the DBZ cast does their voices. I'll name a few. Vegeta's voice actor does Zoro, Krillin's voice actor does Usopp, and Trunk's voice actor does Sanji. This would probably be the best reason to watch it dubbed. Otherwise a lot is lost in translation. Personally, I feel the sub is still better. If you want to know what has happened fully, you will have to watch the sub eventually. Why not watch it from the beginning.

Take a look at this, all-time manga volume sales;

You must be registered for see images


Why must people ask such an obvious question xD if the manga dominates that much the anime is clearly good aswell.

The dub is really good, funimation has done a great job with it. I recommend you watch the funimation dub you won't regret it :y

The English songs are good in my opinion

Yes I do, I see nothing wrong with the funi dub, well done in translations, some of the jokes are better, and a lot effort has been put into it. If you think the dubs are horrible that's you, for me I can careless about that not all dubs are terrible to me.

The anime is on a completely different level in my opinion, I never really read the Manga only some from time to time and I dislike it.

But the anime is a load of fun, there are a few ****ty moment's that kind of piss you off, but i mean there's 582 episode's so.. It took me hell of a long time to get where I am now, ep 533.

There are cool, epic, ****ty, and sad moment's. The type of anime that can change your life for sure.
