I don't understand how this topic needs to devolve into snide remarks at each other. Answer the question, explain, and enjoy fun conversations with your fellow fans. How difficult can it be? C'mon, now!

I can't stand to wtach the entire dub version of DBZ and the movies. Just terrible dialouge and horrible BGM. And don't get me started with that awful rock band BGM in some of the movies. Just terrible!!! :x

I dunno how you could tolerate GT and call Z boring either, that's just crazy. Z is the most popular three for a reason you know, maybe not the best, but that's subjective.
Or maybe it's just possible that not everybody has the same opinion as you.

I find both DB and GT to be far more entertaining than Z at this point... but I'll admit I've seen Z far more times than them so I may have just watched it one too many times.
Aside snide remarks, I don't see how GT can be anything but boring, but to each his own.

Sitting through Part 4 and 5 of Kai with Kikuchi score.

The limited Kikuchi placement made me really get bored with watvhing Kai. It's litterly the same 4 tracks played over and over again, just in different orders.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

To be fair, though, it gets better when you get into the Cell arc.

Admittedly, it's because that limited number of themes came from the Cell arc (for the most part), but they fit better there.

Episodes that include the antics of Mr Satan in the Cell Games Saga, especially in the Spanish dub, which was annoying, every time he appeared on screen, I changed the channel.

DBGT in general if you compare to the animes of Naruto,One Piece,Bleach aka HST.
Then GT Goku being worse than current Naruto, that pretty much says how the show sucked balls.

Tobi and his 6 path of Pein >> Evil Dragons(except One Star Dragon which had the voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi).

Sasuke and Itachi>GT Vegeta.

Pan == Sakura, both suck and get in the way.

Pein> Super 17

Orochimaru > Bebi

As for Movies and TV Specials, Dragon Ball Evolution.
WTF were they thinking....
Movie 6: boring and I couldnt understand how Meta Cooler died.
Movie 7: When Goku beats Super 13, Goku's face after he absorbed the Genkidama, WTF was that, it looked like his skin was able to melt down like Naruto when he went Kyuubi.

I can only watch the Namek arc when I'm laying down to go to sleep. It puts me out pretty fast.

The old FUNi dub is now unwatchable, unless I'm watching for laughs.

Most of the android arc. To me, it's really boring, I tend to just skip it when re-watching the series.

It is not a good arc compared to most of Dragonball.

I find my opinion to be quite the opposite of that.

Apart fom Cell, who remains one of my favourite characters, I would have to agree with that assessment of the Androids arc.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

I would say the Cell and Buu arcs are probably the two weakest arcs in the series, if I had to compare the arcs to all the others in the series. That's still not to say there is anything in them I can't sit through, but I think they're the two weakest. And it's funny because they are, in a lot of ways, the exact opposite of each other. Their weak points are pretty similar, but where they succeed they do so in a very different manner from one another.

I also agree with that.

The peak of the manga/show was Freeza for me.

But there is a lot of things I like about those arcs as well.

I can't watch the General Silver VS monkeys episode. I literally couldn't care less whether a few cartoon monkeys we met 15 minutes ago died by way of forest fire or not. That was the entire episode.

Red Ribbon Army filler is the WORST in all of Dragonball (not including GT)

I hate that arc because it feels like it drags on too long.

Although I do agree it goes on too long, I think if you cut out the filler with Pilaf at the beginning and some other bits, it's much more enjoyable. I liked the monkey stuff.

See, I adore the Pilaf filler. I thought it was genuinely funny and the fake wedding stuff was a super fun way to pop in on the Ox-King to see what he was up to. I'm super curious what you liked about that monkey episode. Maybe I'm just a dick with no empathy or something. :lol:

I love that Pilaf and wedding stuff too. The only downside to any of that Gyumao/Chichi filler anywhere in the series is that I feel it dilutes her eventual reintroduction into the story as an adult when you've been seeing her throughout the series in filler segments. But the wedding stuff was hilarious, and I especially loved the reuse of the Mago Gosora joke. It was twice as funny coming from Pilaf.

I love the Pilaf arc filler and all except the bunny episode (which isn't filler but feels like it!)

I don't like the Red Ribbon Army saga much.
