4. My favourite Anime – Dragonball z/GT
This anime was created by Akira Toriyama. It involves fast paced action
scenes along with various vibrant colours.
This is my favourite anime because it was the most appealing anime to
me as a kid. At the age of 10 I came across it on the Toonarmi channel
where they showed the amazing, omnipotent power of the main
protagonist, Goku fighting against Frieza. I featured cool hairstyles and
lots of fighting.
