I became a fan only relatively recently simply by watching TFS in November 2019. However, I soon became set to watch the real series.
I started to get into Dragon Ball by watching the OG DB series (eng dub) exactly one year ago, and marathoning the whole Japanese anime series from DB to Z to GT and Super (overall took nine months). Somewhere in the middle of that, I realized how damn good the music was, so I decided to look around YouTube for the soundtracks, eventually running into TheZestanor's rips of the unreleased music. I later found Kanzenshuu via Kenisu's thread in the Music board (which led me to his website). It took me a while to start actually lurking around the forum and reading through all the topics, though, but I was intrigued by all the in-depth discussions and debates about the franchise. It took a few months before I made my account. I am happy a place like this exists, and so far my experience has been quite pleasant.
