Wow!

I made a comment already as jim_8702, now I have to say it's great. When I saw more episodes of it I got more interested. Dragon Ball has more comedy than action and thats what makes it good. The uncut versions are better but this will do. I can't wait to see more of the Red Ribbon Army Saga soon.
