What if you weren't introduced to Dragon Ball until now?

I probably wouldn't be the anime fan I am now, as Z was introduction to it. Kinda sad to think about. I just wouldn't have the time as an adult to watch the show or be as invested in it as I am currently.

Yeah, as a kid and teen you basically have all the free time in the world. You can watch TV shows endlessly, play videogames all day, I imagine its what most of us did as we were younger.

As adults our free time is more limited, and when we do get free time we use it on stuff we *know* we'll enjoy. So while people do of course try out new shows they've never seen before, its a lot more rare for you to go back and watch a show that's more than 20 years old and that you would have to track down the DVDs for or watch online.

This is a tricky question. I'm almost certain I'd enjoy the same arcs that are currently my favorites (Piccolo arc, 23rd tournament arc, Saiyan arc) , but I have a hard time imagining I could make it all the way up to those episodes. I like the Pilaf and the first tournament arc well enough, but not so much that I'd continue without knowing the action picks up later, and the Red Ribbon arc is not one of my least favorites , so.... no?
Assuming I DO end up watching the whole thing I would end up liking it, but probably not to the degree I do today. I know nostalgia plays an important part in my view of the series, but I don't see that as a bad thing.
