- After the show started getting good after the frieza saga, they thought &quot;oh lets make more money&quot; and so the show continued and in came super saiyan 1 2 3 etc and when they thought &quot;omg they&#39;re on to us&quot; and so they turn goku into a kid, more money&#33;

- the story is extremely obvious, someone attacks, goku&#39;s team prevails sometimes with casualties

- they got so lazy with the fight scenes they simply showed scribbles a newborn baby could make and simply said &quot;they&#39;re going to fast to see&quot; and of course once they reach higher levels, they can see them&#33; however, strength DOESN&#39;T determine eyesight

- Someone&#39;s badly injured, most often goku, and he has bruises and bleeding everywhere, however his friends give him &quot;energy&quot; and somehow energy heals massive blood loss/bruises

- the power level calculator thing exploding when someone&#39;s power level is too high, but thats so stupid because even a modern day calculator just says Error when it goes past the capabilities of the calculator or goes into scientific notation, and remember, they&#39;re in a age where hover cars and capsule homes/things exist. and even if the power emitted was to powerful for it, wouldn&#39;t their clothing break also?

- ok this is obvious why it&#39;s done but still, the hair/clothing doesn&#39;t get blown off during energy blasts even though it&#39;s enough to totally annihilate someone

- energy blasts seem to power up with the user&#39;s strength, but how is an &quot;energy&quot; blast related to someone physically? Shouldn&#39;t they have to go through separate training for it?

- Ok seriously, if that king guy could let the dead vegeta go back to earth to defend it, I dont see why he can&#39;t just leave everyone who dies down there, perfect world without death, he could just keep the bad people

- I&#39;m going to stop now because there&#39;s tons of more reasons but this is enough to prove it&#39;s not worthy to be called an anime, therefore it doesn&#39;t deserve to be on this part of the forums </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
There&#39;s a difference between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball you know(unless you&#39;re talking about the manga wich is one big manga) but you said anime. The freize saga is part of the Dragon Ball anime. Toriyama wanted to quit after the frieza saga and had nothing to do with GT(a little to do with it but he didn&#39;t want to do it). In Dragon Ball Goku doens&#39;t always wins and he fights alone not with his team at least not in major battles. The fights scenes had to be draw out because the manga caught up to teh anime. If you actually watch it you would know that they train constantly(main chairacters) there is rarely a non filler episode that Goku, Tien or Piccollo isn&#39;t training. Eneryg blasts are more powerful than the user based on the technique. Tien&#39;s Kikoho is an example which is meant to take from both teh users ki and life energy. About teh blood watch the uncut version&#33; He let Vegeta down there because he knew if he didn&#39;t Buu will eventually destroy him and both hell so everything will be released from there. Also if you actaully watch it their clothes get ripped apart when they get hit from an energy blasts, and most of the fighters wear wieighted clothing.

But NONE of the stuff you say applies to Dragon Ball, I&#39;m still waiting for a reason. And most of the things there apply to Dragon Ball Z, cut that is. You also haven&#39;t even watched enough to know somethings like the energy thing.
