Dragon Ball is one of the most famous franchises in history, having a massive fanbase in both America and Japan. However, over the years, the show has attracted lots of criticism and controversy, with many saying that the franchise’s writing isn’t as good as it’s made out to be. But this is far from the truth, as Dragon Ball is very well written, provided fans stick to the manga and avoid the anime.Unlike other franchises, Dragon Ball’s anime and manga are often considered together rather than as separate entities, but it’s easy to see why this is the case. The original Dragon Ball manga started in 1984 and ran until 1995, while the anime adaption, made up of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, began in 1986 and ran until 1996. This lack of a sizable delay between the manga and anime’s release windows meant that, for a long time, fans would be reading the manga and watching the anime concurrently. When Toriyama returned to the franchise with the Dragon Ball Super manga in 2015, the anime adaption launched with it and ran until 2018. But even since this anime concluded, several Dragon Ball movies have been released alongside the continuing manga, meaning that, unlike some other franchises, the manga and anime are deeply intertwined in audiences’ minds.While cross-medium synergy can be a good thing, especially for a franchise’s long-term staying power, it is a big reason the Dragon Ball franchise is associated with bad writing. The anime’s issues have overshadowed the manga over time, dragging the experience down and leading to Dragon Ball developing a reputation as a poorly-written series.Related: Dragon Ball: Who is the Strongest Super Saiyan of All Time??Related: Is Dragon Ball GT Actually Good or Has Dragon Ball Super Lowered Our Standards?
