So... let's talk about how bad Dragon Ball Z is.

I'm watching DBZ Abridged right now. And I can't believe a damn YouTube parody manages to make better use of the characters than the actual show did. I can't even watch the original anymore.
When you take the nostalgia glasses off, it's just bad. The characters, sans Piccolo, are bad (especially post-Namek). The pacing is terrible. Goku is shit. A whole saga wasted on Hercule. Only a few characters are even competent in a fight. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan & Goten? Legit. Everyone else =
Combine that to the fact that there isn't any meaningful female character in the entire story... it's just turrible.

The fights were cool and that's all that mattered to 9 year old me. I wasn't as into it as my friends though.
The manga were awesome.. and there is a bit lost in translation from manga and Japanese to anime and English.
For me the series basically ended with Cell...

Naruto up until the Tsunade arc (except for the Naruto-Sasuke fight in part 1) had some good moments. Actual interesting strategies could be used in fights and Naruto felt more relatable than Goku or Luffy.
It got really really fucking bad in Part 2 though.

Yes, the manga is excellent, I agree. One of the things I like about it most is that once Goku goes SSJ for the first time against Frieza, the latter never lays a finger on the latter. In the anime, they're kinda 1:1 for awhile, or at least Goku makes it appear that way until he says that Frieza is getting weaker.
But yea, DBZ is the kind of show that can only be watched once, preferably in the teenage years upon the first exposure to anime. Every time I think to go back and watch some Vegeta, I remember that most of the time, the once-powerful-but-now-sidelined characters spend most of the time gasping in awe at the demonstration of power before them.
A show needs meaningful female characters to be good? Bulma is prominent from the moment a tailed, midget Goku wrecks her car up through the end of the Frieza saga. Then there's Android 18 after that and Videl after that.
I would've said make this post in the anime thread. But TV series like this will always exist. I mean they're still making Simpsons. Are they still making Pokemon?
It's why I'm glad when shows like shingeki no kyojin (Attack on Titan) told the tv networks to fuck off, they're not making the anime till the second chapter is fully written in the manga. So you don't get horrible filler story lines that drag the overall quality down.
i mean, i remember voltron being awesome. I've gone back and watched some. It's. Uh. Yeah.

Yes, they are still making Pokémon shows. My kids watch them religiously. I tried to get them on the show that was on when I was in middle school, and I was ashamed at how silly Team Rocket is. I wanted them to get as far as the Charizard evolution so that when they play him in Smash, they understand how he got there. Next is Mewtwo.
Everything about X/Y and Black & White is way better than Indigo League.

It's semi on topic. DBZ the anime was turned into a commercial "Made for Morning/Afternoon" serial. It's basically bold & the beautiful for teens.
Nothing wrong with it. Not everything animated has to be some hidden Anime secret gem. Just... some people pretend that it does.
