It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

I saw a lot of DBZ when it was on Cartoon Network, and was always interested in seeing the original series but at that point I didn't have any way to ... DBZ was never my sort of thing (too many episodes spent "powering up" with no real story), do you think going back and seeing Dragonball is worth it despite the lapse in martial arts quality?
Eh if you want to scratch that itch I’d say just watch Yu Yu Hakusho instead. It’s slow to start in season 1 but it has the best animated martial arts combat I’ve ever seen. Absolutely worth a watch IMO
I'm not super into martial arts (I can definitely enjoy a well animated fight scene though), I was more curious about the world of Dragonball (because there were little snippets in the credits of Dragonball Z, which I hadn't thought about in years until your comment) ... does Yu Yu Hakusho have a good story?
I think so. It’s the story of a punk kid who dies pushing a small child out of the way of a speeding car. Because he died committing a selfless act he gets a chance to earn his life back.
This leads to him being a “spirit investigator” where he has to track down rogue spirits and other evil influences of the “other world”. There’s a lot more to the show too, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch.
Ok, that does sound good - I've added it to the watch list, thank you :-)
Happy to help! :]
