What?
It’s average at best. A lot of the old Shonen series are not very good. Just because a show makes you feel nostalgic and is a “classic” doesn’t inherently mean it’s a very good series.
DBZ is all over the place, the animation although good for the time is insanely outdated and just boring and bland to watch given the standards nowadays, Goku is pretty boring as a character as he’s literally the OG typical Shonen protagonist which although he was the original MC, his personality and overall character have become so generic due to all the newer “Goku-like” protagonists who have come out after him, etc.
It’s definitely not bad, it’s just insanely overhyped and wanked because people nowadays are waaaaaayyy too emotional to admit that their fav series or a series they grew up watching isn’t anything over than “great”.
It’s a bunch of dudes running around punching eachother with galactic level strength and screaming their lungs out in order to “power up”. The fighting is not “top notch”, you’re just completely blinded by nostalgia and will never acknowledge the fact that DBZ is quite blatantly mid just because you grew up watching it. Cringe.
> Dragon Ball "mid at best" by today's standards.Same here, but nostalgia can’t blind you when looking at a series and determining how good it was. Let’s be honest, DBZ is pretty mid, but will always be iconic and was the pillar for all the Shonen that came after it.
It similar to how Bob Pettit and Bob Cousy were legendary basketball players who absolutely dominated the 1940’s and 1950’s. But compared to the players now a days they are absolutely horrendous players. They are iconic and we’re great for their time, but as basketball players, they are not good simply due to progression through the decades of playing the sport. Shonen series mostly work the same way. Many of the Ig Shonen like DB, DBZ, etc are pretty mid by today’s standards at best, but we all grew up with them and they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts. However we need to look at them and grade them realistically.
But guilty gear is far more popular with normies now so therefore it's goodblazblue central fiction >> striveZzzZ, lmao
