Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
I have yet to nail the Dragon Ball artstyle. I feel like I'm getting somewhat close, though.
Character is Bulla, like it almost always is. Imaginary cookies for anyone who manages to identify the hairstyle, I suppose.
Probably Kanzenshuu's biggest Bulla fangirl. Current avatar: DBU Bulla as Sailor Princess Sadala, based on Sailor Moon: Cosmic Dance

The hairstyle looks close to what Bulma had when Goku was in the hospital after the Saiyan Saga and Popo brought her to Yunzabit Heights

Wow, it is pretty similar, now that you mention it. Didn't think about that. It's not what I based it on, though.

It's not from anything Dragon Ball-related, so it might be slightly mean of me to ask for guesses.
Guess I'll leave it a little while longer, then edit this post with the answer... as if it was some sort of quiz
It's actually based on Lisa Lisa from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Go figure.

But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

I'm of the opinion that Bulla should always have Lavender/Purplish hair and Bulma should always have blue hair. It makes them distinct and it makes Bulla's genetic makeup consistent with Trunks.
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least...
My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. https://coub.com/view/6osx6

In the anime, Bulma and Bulla both have blue hair, so that's what I'm working with. And, according to Super, (Future) Trunks is also heading in that direction... You're absolutely entitled to your opinion, though. Nothing wrong there.
