While I found Goku endearing and the artwork mostly charming, the lack of plot and beyond obnoxious characters killed this dead for me. I understand it's going for a slapstick thing here, but I'm not sure who the target audience is. The immature humor feels aimed at an elementary school crowd, but the supreme perviness and art choices are super inappropriate for that audience.
