When it comes to manga and anime, few franchises are quite as well-known as Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball. Since starting life as a manga back in the early eighties, it's gone on to spawn seven anime series and counting, not to mention more than twenty movies and a string of successful Dragon Ball video games. Due to the chronologically confusing nature of its naming conventions, however, figuring out how to watch Dragon Ball in order can be more than a little tricky.
