Dragonball Z/GT is Overrated

I call into question a few of your statements: This is a typical problem with every anime show created. the reason for this is because the animes are created to please the fans of the series. i wouldnt say DragonBall Z is the worst offender of it.Yes, it can be argued that Dragonball Z is not the worst offender of too much exposition. Filler arcs in animes undermine everything that the story tries to achieve. However, just because Dragonball Z is not the worst offender does not mean we should forgive it. The number of animes/mangas over the last few years available have greatly increased with the western audience's demand. We should be judging the quality of each anime based on itself, not on the other big shows at the time. I know that the Ichigo vs. Aizen fight was quite offensive in terms of forced exposition, but that doesn't make anything in Dragonball Z any easier to deal with. In other words, just because Dragonball Z commits the same crimes as its contemporaries does not let it off the hook. The issue with your arguement lies in the fact that you are addressing DragonBall Z and DragonBall GT when really you should also address DragonBall.I chose to center this entire debate around Z and GT because they are more popular. Honestly, dragonball is not nearly as popular as the other two. That being said, I think that the first series was the best of the three in terms of story. However, this is an arguement about Dragonball Z and GT being overrated. I do not call into question dragonball. Gohan is the one who finishes cell. And goku teleporting cell away did nothing but power up cell. Think about this for a second. If Goku did not teleport him away at that instant, he would have exploded, killing destroying the earth. Gohan did NOT have instant transmission. Thus, without Goku, Gohan would have died in the explosion along with the entire world. The Buu Saga was created by the author only becasue of Fan prodding. Many fans didnt like the series ending with Goku dieing and Gohan becoming the Ultimate Warrior (as the author had originally planned). The fans urged the author to write another ending to please fans. Then shame on the author for giving into the auidence so easily. At the very least, make Goku sit out an entire saga. But most of the fighting done in DragonBall Z is done by fists. The kick and punch each other. Throw each other into the ground.in Naruto Shippudden all Naruto ever uses is Rasengan. Different variations of it,yes, but still all of them are Rasengans. In bleach the only move Ichigo has is Getsuga Tensho.Should we really judge Dragonball Z based on Bleach and Naruto? I don't think so. Again, just because the problem exists in the genre does not mean that it should be excused. Yes, Ichigo and Naruto both use the same techniques over and over. The point I was trying to make with Naruto and Bleach is that these powers had limitations and weaknesses. I don't consider getting tired a weakness. The only weaknesses with these beams is amount of energy left in the user's body and aim. In a sense, these beams have the same weaknesses as a gun. Would you say that a gun has a weakness just because it can run out of ammo? Not really. To conclude, the beams do not have weaknesses the way that Shikamaru has with his shadow powers or Renji's bone serpent bankai. The beams do not have an exploitable weakness. DragonBall GT was entirely fan based. And honestly it was the stupidest thing done to the series. BUt it was created to please goku fans so he was reverted to a kid and was sent searching for the dragonball (in space) as a refence to DragonBall.So at least we agree GT was overrated and stupid?Also the Saiyans do have a clear weakness. There love for battle.When I say weakness, I mean in fighting style. There was a manga/anime called Rurouni Kenshin many year ago. It starred a main character who's fighting style was reading his enemy's movements and lighting fast strikes. His weakness was that he couldn't kill anyone or he would lose grip of his sanity. There we go, a clear weakness and strength. Is Vegeta faster? Is Gohan better at beam battles? Is Goku better with his fists? This is never really made clear. Instead, you have a whole bunch of characters who train all the time without any clear specializations.Once Again it is a fan issue. Fans dont like to see there favourtie cahracters die and stay dead. Many of the Chracters that died in the show were meant to stay dead. The only issue was the production house coming under a lot of fire from fans for killing of there favourite characters.Honestly, you make this author sound worse than Stephanie Meyer. This author should have had the balls to stand up for their writing instead of being a welcome mat for their fans.The author had groomed him to takeover gokus role as Earth's greatest defender. only one issue. the fans were too attached to goku.So to conclude, it sounds like you are telling me that the willingness for the fans to overrate this manga/anime made it bad? In other words, if there wasn't so many fanatics for dragonball Z the integrity of the show would be intact? The day that a writer allows his auidence to control his art is the day he is no longer an artist. End of story.
