Anime can be a very expensive hobby. Fans who actually want to support their favorite series may find that it's harder than it sounds: buying individual episodes or seasons is certainly easier than it used to be, but that doesn't mean buying anything anime-related is exactly cheap — and it only gets more expensive if the series hasn't made the jump to the U.S. just yet.
On the other hand, there are anime that span literally hundreds of episodes — shows like GATE and Erased may only span a dozen or so episodes, but what about series like One Piece or Pokemon?
For many, Dragon Ball Z was the first extended-length anime. At roughly 300 episodes, it's far from the longest anime ever ... but it's not exactly short, either. As such, finding and collecting all of the different seasons and episodes can be an absolute pain in the backside, and that's before fans have to worry about different dubs or special editions.
At the very least, it's easier to get a Dragon Ball Z collection started now that the first full season of the anime is available for free. That's right: fans can download and watch the entire first season of the series completely free of charge, courtesy of the Microsoft store.
At the moment, there's no telling how long this promotion will last — which means it's best to get your copies today, before Microsoft starts charging for it again!
