Freeza. The dub is to blame for this,the way they protray Freeza is just so annoying, unecessary jokes constantly like he's a stand up comedian. When I watched the original I was shocked to see how different he was from the dub. I love his original personality a polite tyrant that will stab you through the heart.

Uub.

I hated him with passion 15 years ago. Then, when I started getting back in the fandom some 5 years ago, my perception of him did a 180.

The second thing I hated and I have learned to... tolerate... was Mr. Satan. I truly despised him, but now I got a few laughs out of his scenes. I'm not crazy about him, but I have learned to simply accept him as one of Toriyama's comedy tokens.

First time when i saw DBZ i really hated Satan, the way he talked and acted, i wanted to see more action, but later i started to like his jokes and personality, after all he is the World Champion. :D

I'm starting to warm up to the Buu Saga these days as I've come to realize it actually has Toriyama break some of his own cliches like rehashing the same villain personality (excluding Super Buu) and has some pretty good character stuff with Vegeta, some exciting fights between Vegeta & Goku and Kid Buu & Goku.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Dragon Ball Minus. I still prefer the TV special but I can live with Bardock's character and I also like the emotion Goku's face portrays when he's leaving.

I must say that after hearing the full version, Chozetsu Dynamic, the opening of Super kinda grew on me.
Sans the fact that the singer isn't that great, it just flows great. I also like the guitars a lot and that it isn't this classic Japanese J-rock with weird boys having feminime voices like Flow.

Wait, why? His design? The kid barely does anything in the series, unless you mean GT. lol.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I don't hate him, but I don't care for the character. Uub is not that interesting to me and I don't really care for the idea that Goku leaves his family for who knows how long in order to train this character we don't know and don't care about.

The filler and dub makes Chichi seem bitchier than she actually is in the manga, so I don't have nearly as much dislike as I used to.
