I remember as a kid everybody playing DB in recess and we weren't beating each other up, but spending 10 minutes yelling and charging an invisible attack and pretending we were sent flying away by it. What a waste of spare time lol.

In any case, I'd start with the DBZ anime. The manga is much more gruesome and Z already leaves behind Roshi, fortunately. While the violence isn't particularly violent, I'd rather have a kid start with the lesser version of the violence. If they want more viscera, they can always read the manga.
Same, brother, same. :lol: :)
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

...but there's no "extra r" there, the source word is spelled marron. There's two rs there to begin with.
Yes, but the reason that Funi/Simmons call Maaron "Marron" is not because of the original French spelling. It's to represent the elongated vowel. They had already used "Maron" for Garlic Jr.'s Maron instead of using the French spelling. So they went with "Marron" for Kuririn's daughter to differentiate between the two.
Ok, but neither of us are Funi or Simmons, so there's no particular need to slavishly adhere to their fuckups...?
Well, I guess that will show 'em.

Haha, sorry., should've probably worded that differently

If you have any input on this though, I'd love to hear it.
