Yeah but DBZ is repetitive and uninteresting.
Superman keeps it somewhat interesting. Not much tho, IMO.
But better than Dragonball bullshit.
The big problem with DBZ was that the anime caught up with the manga. At first, they tried to turn a monthly manga chapter into a month of episodes-- which resulted in people squatting, grunting, and glowing for six episodes in a row. Later, they tried doing "filler"-- stories specifically for the anime that were non-canon with the manga. Unfortunately, whoever was writing them couldn't
write...
And then, of course, are the people who think the entire concept was silly in the first place, and that the entire show was badly written and badly paced.
No.
The real problem with DBZ is that it was never intend to be.
The autor (akira something) did the dragonball serie, that was, at the biggining, a modern version and interpretation of the old chinese story of the monkey-king(almost every main character of the first serie are from this story).
The manga (and the anime) was very over-successful in asia and in europe (that was at the end of the 80's / beggining of the 90's, so it wasn't on american TV), and after multiple saison (where the story got a little away for the monkey-king story) the autor decide to stop and move to something else.
Probleme was that DB was a good money maker, and the editors and TV executives decided to change it in a true cash-cow, and "very strongly advise" the autor to continue the serie, and that why BDZ was created.
The fact was that Akira Sthng (the autor) didn't enjoyed making DBZ and started to make the serie longer and longer in action sequence, that was asking less interest and effort from him.
In fact if you have follow the story you should have realise that the story had at least 3 to 5 occasion to end the serie(the story just end at one point, at the opposite of DB where the plots were mix with the other in a sort of continuity).
The reason for that is simple:
The autor finish the story and said: "Ok that's finish I move to something else".
And editors and TV-executives came back again and again to "very strongly advise" the autor to continue the serie.
It was some periode that the autor enjoyed (the sayan super-heros with gohan, for exemple), but mostly he just did it because peoples wanted him to do that and only that, even if he wasn't enjoying himself in his work.
So don't be suprise that DBZ seemed to be always the same thing: when your not enjoying what you do, you don't put a lot of work in it.
