The franchise really should have just stopped after Cell. Everything since is embarrassing.
DB Super Hero (where Orange Piccolo is from) is unironically some of the best stuff since the Cell saga.
They got away from big number power scaling bullshit and just made a fun story where Piccolo and Gohan got to be the main characters for once
I will never forgive them for the senzu bean thing, where Gohan gets tossed a bean, fumbles it, drops it in some crack in the ground, and it's just lost. They fight at incomprehensible speed but he couldn't catch a falling bean?
maybe so but I will never watch it because I hate the animation style
Thats the 3d cgi movie right? I thought it was alright for a 3d anime movie, though I do think the Lupin the 3rd 3d movie looked a lot better than this DBZ movie.
IIRC, Frieza was "supposed" to be the end according to the creator, but I agree: Cell was pretty cool, aside from the tournament thing.
The tournament thing was stupid, but it was also one of the best parts and a great expression of both Perfect Cell's personality and the busted logic of Dragon Ball in general.
