How was your first exposure to Dragon Ball? Was it through the manga? The anime? Do you remember which arc?

For me it was the Cell arc, at the CGs, when Gohan was about to fight Cell... my little brother was insisting that I watched it since it was so fricking cool and I was like "whetever"....oh, the irony lol.

I took the manga to read after I had watched the entire thing... and honestly at first I found it too watered down compared to the anime... even though I prefer it nowadays lulz.

I started watching when Goku and Piccolo were fighting Raditz. I didn't catch the first handful of episodes prior to that but I was hooked once Vegeta showed up and kept watching since. I ended up watching the episodes I missed when I caught them as reruns in a different timeslot.

I think I was in the same boat. Either that or I caught Dead Zone. Either way it was the edited Ocean dub where Raditz was being a bigot towards Piccolo and condescendingly referring to him as Green man.

Colour me surprised, I didn't expect to be the only person on here who started with episode 1 . . . I mean of Dragon Ball Z but still. My second earliest memory alive is seeing a Toonami promo for Dragon Ball Z and thinking/saying I need to see that.

my origins are weird so:
At my childhood friends house he played Dragon ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the Wii and he had Dragonball z harukanaru densetsu for the Ds i only really saw the raddity fight and a bit of the gohan trainning! And i could only barely beat a saibaman as SSJ3 Goku and i was also confused where his tail is i thought maybe its under his clothes i also had a theory that him being a kid with a monkwey tail was some soprt of curse which weirdly enough sorta is the premise of Gt! i also saw a bunch of SSJs everywhere!
Than as i was older i watched Dragonball from Episode 1 up to the beginning of the piccolo arc i didnt continue for 3 reasons:
1st. The quality was crap (i was watching it in a cabve with traps you could say!)
2nd. I thought Kid goku wouldnt have an final battle
3rd. Lets just say all the angry ssjs let me think that goku would turn angry all the time

so 4 years after this ive finnished reading the manga!

Interesting. I got into wrestling through the games so I can kinda relate to this. What made you decide to finally continue after stopping?
