The Cell Saga Is The Lowest Rated Saga?

....but I though the Buu Saga and GT were the most hated ones.

There's enough Buu love on Kanzenshuu that DBZguy felt he had to rethink that assumption. GT is best left as the other ballpark that it is.

Red Ribbon Army is the worst saga bro. I feel like the Cell saga was the best storyline wise even though the Buu saga is my favorite.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The Cell saga's story is about on par with Twilight in terms of quality.

That's a very odd comparison. Have you even seen the Twilight movies or read the books?

Yes I have, unfortunately.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Yes I have, unfortunately.

I haven't, but I still think it's a weird comparison. It would seem more fitting if you compared it to say, another shonen-type anime or something like that. I don't know... I just found it weird is all...

I wouldn't say Cell's arc is bad but if Goku and Gohan went all out it'd have ended a lot sooner than originally expected to, heck, if they had killed Cell in his primitive form he wouldn't have sucked the life out of that old man as well as many others.

Action:
Saiyan arc > Freeza arc > Cell arc > Majin Boo arc

Comedy:
Majin Boo arc > Freeza arc > Cell arc > Saiyan arc

The Majin Boo arc felt like something reimagined from Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump & Arale-chan in terms of comedy, imo.

May I ask why you choose to use Seru over Cell?

I watch the show in the original Japanese language, so I've gotten so use to typing and saying all the characters names in their original pronunciation.

Torankusu is my favorite character in the Seru arc. I also think Juuhachigou is great.

[shinmaru]

Cellu and Android arc is the best arc of DBZ.
That was the golden era of Japanese DBZ.

To be fair, I heard the Twilight books are quite good.

Your constant knocking is getting tiresome, to the point where you compare Cell unfavorably to Twilight. I've heard a synopsis, and the Cell arc (flaws and all) is still far better than Twilight. The acting alone is better.

[FrogTrigger]

Yea I'd compare the cell saga to terminator or days of future past, maybe age of apocalypse even instead of twilight. Those all had time travel/dystopian future elements and characters with similar lives. That and they get equal love/hate among fans too

Like before I made the terminator comparison I always thought of trunks being like cable or something; pragmatic, mega-powerful, and uses a weapon most of the main cast doesn't

I think Cell arc was more funnier then the Freeza arc, thanks to Mr. Satan

From what I've seen, the first two Terminator movies get a lot more praise than hate.

The Cell saga had the best ratings in Japan when it first aired. The Garlic Jr saga is the saga that people dislike the most since it was boring and pointless. The Black Star Dragon Ball arc and the Super 17 saga come in pretty close in my opinion.

From who?

Neither Dragon Ball nor Twilight are exactly literary masterpieces. I'd argue the relationships are better developed in Twilight purely because of the format despite Dragon Ball being more enjoyable. It's a novel, there's far greater time and freedom to establish characters and relationships over something like a comic. That's besides the point anyway.

It's such a boring and unfounded complaint to compare everything to Twilight like that. Adds zero weight to your argument. You just come across as one of those morons regurgitating the same old 'better love story than Twilight' bullshit that's all over the internet. It doesn't mean anything and it's exactly the same as someone making jokes about Dragon Ball powerups lasting for 30 episodes. It's exaggerated, untrue and aimless.

Well, it depends. Japanese fans these days probably have different preferences than Japanese fans back when the series was first running in Jump. US fans today probably likewise have different preferences than fans back when the show was first airing in the US. Ditto for any other country. And fans today in one country probably don't have exactly the same preferences as fans in other countries. And fans who mostly read the manga probably don't have the same preferences as fans who mostly watch the anime. Ands fans in one online community are often going to like different things than fans in other communities. Etc, etc, and of course, etc.

It's hard to make general statements about which part of the series is the most liked or most hated overall. And even if you compiled all the data on what all fans at all times everywhere thought about each storyline, it's not like the results would prove anything about which parts are good and which aren't.

How can you say such a horrible thing? I thought we was cool.

[dbboxkaifan]

How can anyone compare Twilight to Dragon Ball Z: The Story of Cell? One's about vampires not being able to survive without biting humans and staying away from light/sun whereas Cell is perfect, has no problems with day/night, doesn't bite humans or has a cheesy story.

I watched the first Twilight film and the only thing that I liked from it was the actress playing Bella (Kristen Stewart) whom was very pretty, but questionable acting.

If you compared Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball: Journey through Space they'd be comparable due to the stories being similar enough (more so reused again).
