Dragon Ball Z was many fans’ first introduction into Akira Toriyama’s massive manga and anime franchise, and the series’ first episode officially premiered on April 26, 1989 on Fuji Television in Japan. Though Japan was able to officially celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the anime series yesterday, now fans around the world have been able to send out some good words for the series themselves. It’s been the perfect time for fans to relive the series.

Going back through their memories, sharing some fantastic art, fans of the franchise have been taking to Twitter to share their congratulatory messages and can’t believe this franchise has been going on for more than 30 years now.
Dragon Ball Z was many fans’ first introduction to the series as the sequel to the original Dragon Ball series featured a major overhaul of what had come before. Rather than facing more mystical or human enemies, the franchise went to space and has never been the same as now Dragon Ball Super has introduced a multiverse, gods and angels, and all sorts of new ideas. But it all began for many fans here.
Read on to find out what fans are saying about Dragon Ball Z turning 30, and let us know your favorite moments or memories in the comments or talk to me directly @Valdezology on Twitter!
