OG Dragon Ball was so much better, it had adventures, humor, AND fighting.
Dragon Ball Z was essentially:
>Bad guy arrives
>Oh no! He's so strong! We can't possibly beat him at this point! Let's train!
>10 episodes of trainining
>The fight starts
>50 episodes for a single fight, and each one will end with "how will the fight end between x and y?" and the next episode won't answer that question but keeps on dragging that shit further and further
>after 50 episoded of fights with dozens of deaths, resurrections and 30 level-up transformations for each character, the bad guy is finally defeated
>Hey look! Another bad guy is coming! And he's much stronger than the previous one! We can't possibly beat him at this point, so let's start training!
>The cicle begins once again.
