What are you watching right now
I’m currently watching Alice to Zouroku. I’ve finished up to episode six so far, and I got to say that I like it. To me, going in on the first episode, the show seemed hilariously bad. But it’s getting better.

What's that about? Currently I'm watching: - Black Clover (dub)
- Dragon Ball Kai (dub)
- Dragon Ball Super (dub and sub)
I'm really enjoying Super. Black Clover is pretty good (except all the yelling), in my opinion at least. I'm only watching Kai because it comes on Toonami after Super. That and I enjoy Dragon Ball, so it's worth it to me. I'm watching the Super dub on TV every weekend, and watching the sub on kissanime.

I don't really watch tv or movies, so I stick to youtube. At the moment, I'm watching some videos by this guy 'RandomGaminginHD' (the name is really bad and not representative of his content) who does videos on budget gaming computers and pc parts.

@jeremy It’s basically just about this girl who was raised in a research facility because she has special powers. She runs away and gets taken in by this old dude. The old dude gets involved in some shenanigans with the girl and the research facility trying to recover her and whatnot. He teaches her about normal life. I was up to date with Black Clover until around six weeks ago. I like it, but it’s not really something I care to tune into every week. I like bingeing shows. I’ve seen the original Dragon Ball a while back. I’ve only been watching anime for like three years now, excluding of course anime I watched when I was a lot younger, like Naruto, of which I did not really know was anime back then. Anyways, fightings not really my thing. I like the trials, the training, the adventures, the drama, the comedy thrown into long running action shows. The action itself, however, is pretty meh. Given that, and the fact that I enjoyed the original Dragon Ball, do you think it would be worth my while watching the rest of the series as well? Is it much more heavy on actual fighting? Dragon Ball Z, in particular? Is Muten-Roshi still around much at all? tom Oof, that’s me. I used to be adding like 10 days every month to my MAL. Now it’s been some three months into the year, and so far I’ve only added three days. I can’t live off of two hours of sleep everyday anymore, though. I would second MIA. Dragon Maid was pretty good, too. isexedthepumpkin I haven’t really watched YouTube in years. Still all about those long running series though. I was big on Minecraft videos for a while, Shadow of Israphel, Jaffa factory, sipsco stuff, CaptainSparklez’ skyblock series. Really, I haven’t been much into gaming at all besides free to play mobile crap lately. I’ve tried getting back into YouTube several times, but alas, no luck. Not sure that’s something I should really be trying for, but regardless, would you happen to have any recommendations on long running gaming series that I could watch?

I'll try to summarize the main series:
Dragon Ball (153 episodes) - A fun adventure with martial arts, magic, sci-fi, and tons of comedy. Boyish in nature.
Dragon Ball Z (291 episodes) - There are small pockets of comedy here and there, but the story is much darker and sinister. Bloodier, way more sci-fi stuff (time travel, space ships, aliens, etc). Most of the battles are really intense in this anime because the world or universe is at stake.
Dragon Ball Kai (167 episodes) - This is just Z, but shortened a lot. They cut all the filler episodes and try to make the anime more similar to the manga. They also re-voiced everyone and updated the art and music.
Dragon Ball Super (131 episodes) - This is almost like a combination of Dragon Ball and Z. It's still got epic fights and has dark parts, but it's not nearly as intense as DBZ. The end of it gets pretty intense, but other than that, it's like a calmed down sequel to Z. It has its comedy again and its pretty fun so far, at least to me.
There's also Dragon Ball GT (64 episodes) from the 90s. I haven't seen it yet. A lot of people trash this anime, but I refuse to follow the opinions of others if I haven't seen it myself. I am planning to watch GT once I finish Super and the end of Kai.

I was just thinking of the best order to watch Dragon Ball anime in.
For someone who just wants the story: DB --> Kai --> Super
For someone who likes filler episodes and has more time--> DB --> Z --> GT --> Super
Thing is, the events of GT never had a manga in Japan. And as of now, I think GT is considered non-canon because all of the stuff that has happened in Super would conflict with it. Still, if you prefer the older animation style, you might like GT more. Super had a different animating style and some earlier episodes were poorly done due to time constraints. They ended up getting it better as the series progressed.
I like to consider GT an "alternate timeline" or a "what if" story.
