I have the same disposition that Plague has usually, in that I spend more time dissecting and critiquing the things I like than things I don't like, but I can still say I enjoyed it at the end of the day. I can give you 99 reasons why Dragon Ball is fucking stupid and makes no sense but I love it so much. You can still like Naruto even if it goes off the rails and sabotages itself.
Idk, man. I'm more and more predisposed to the tight 26 ep shows. I'll take Trigun, Full Metal Alchemist, and Digimon over DBZ and Naruto simply because they've got a tighter narrative arc.
Listening to Ballin' Out Super reminds me of how much DBZ was just... awful. Like, they build up these amazing iconic characters and then just abuse or neglect them in later seasons.
At some point, you've told your story and you just have to pack it in and do something new. Unless you're doing Broly. That was pretty good.
Oh believe me I know lol, Tien is one of my favorite characters and they have thrown his character in the dumpster and spit on him for good measure. The story treats him with nothing but contempt. The longer Dragon Ball goes on, the worse it gets, but I keep reading/watching. :shrug-outta-hecks:
