Didn't even need his eyes to do so lmao, he always took on the baddest mfs too

yeah the manga is so so so fire. pacing is amazing, all the battles have so much weight. even tho buu's not my favorite i still find stuff to enjoy because the art is so tight

there's always that one exception to the rule

yall out here acting like non shonen dont exist either!!!!

where my puella magi madoka magica fans at???????

i tried Hunter x Hunter and got bored first few episodes lol

Still struggling on episode 9 or sum for Evangelion

yeah i still have to see that one

and Akira

I've seen Akira kind of... but i wasn't paying full attention and legit slept through a whole part of it i don't remember much

bro just plow through the first half of eva, it only becomes incredible towards the end and then especially with the movies

akira goat

Dbz peaked with freeza

S*** got a lil silly after that but it was all still good fun

Dragon ball franchise such a cheeseball parody of itself now 5yo with all the hair dye transformations they spitting out to sell toys

its funny actually akira toriyama wanted to end it at freeza but they wouldn't let him out of his contract

i agree with the peak at Frieza part

i didn't pay as much attention to the Buu saga... life was way too busy at that point for me

I don't mind Super either i really enjoyed it in fact.

AAN itt

Nah I think he wanted to make Gohan the protagonist going forward but they wouldn’t get off Gokus nuts

The zamasu arc was decent, and pieces of the tournament arc

But overall it was lazy, s***ty modern art with little to no detail, everyone's skinny and twerpy, no blood, years pass but everyone including the kids look the same, barely any stakes or intimidating villains outside zamasu evt

LMAO

i wouldn't have minded Gohan taking the crown

but tbh Goku is my goat

Lol Gohan turned out to be such a dweeb, can't believe piccolo would let him go so soft

yeah totally fair, i would even add the pacing was way too slow

but idk man i just love the series to pieces, won't even act like i'm not biased

He's in school getting good grades can't say that about many on this forum (including me)

iirc freeza was intended to be the climax of the series and goku was supposed to die, leaving a gohan sequel story in the works if they ever paid him enough to get back into it. But Jump had just licensed the 5th movie (cooler) and the dragon ball z anime had the prime time spot on tv tokyo and was making money hand over fist, so the suits basically told toriyama no you aint quitting. After that he started writing without planning ahead and thats why the cell saga has 3 separate main villain reveals in the span of 10 chapters

Imagine if he got his way, but just turned it into a great sayaman villain of the week gag Manga

Hot take. Frieza was a good villain and all but Cell Saga was DBZ’s peak.

Better transformations.
Better fights.

Everybody got time to shine. Android 17 vs Piccolo, Vegeta turning SSJ for the first time and trashing the fat android, Trunks debut, The mo hawked Android learning about the importance of life, Gohan turning SSJ2 and murking Cell

this makes me kinda interested in the mango

if i would start i would ideally want to start at Dragon Ball with kid Goku lol

Yeah, power levels got so out of hand in freeza saga since it was the climax it left him in a tough spot moving forward
