Dragonball is infinitely better than the others.

DBZ wasn't horrible. It should definitely ended though before Buu arc. That arc really hurt the series. 

The power levels were getting out of hand post Vegeta, and heading to Namek, but it still had a decent enough story that tied together. The androids being as powerful as they were a bit of an asspull, but again it tied back to earlier in series, and the whole future trunks storyline and the passing of the gauntlet to Gohan with Goku dying made it fine.

But then it went the whole super bs route most all sounen do after each arc. You know where they beat the strongest bad guy in the world, then all of a sudden some new bad guy pops up out of nowhere and is even stronger. You know its a total asspull by the author, there having been no foreshadowing, no tie back to earlier stuff, ect. Just the bs, "oh he was sealed here forever" bull.

But yea, DB totally is the best. A vast cast that wasn't irrelivent. Actual fights that were interesting and not just punch and throw big attacks until one yells loud enough to win. I loved watching the tournaments and the unique fighters and how yamcha, krillin, tien, ect were all someone you cared about watching and unique fighting styles. IN DBZ and later, it was just plain punch/kicks and balls of ki being tossed around. There were some shitty arcs, such as some of the red army ball chasing, but overall it was a fun adventure. In DBZ mostly you saw enemy, flew to some deserted area and then spend 100 chatpers fighting that enemy there.

I think Naruto is the same. In the originals, you see amazing power, but there is still an emphasis on strategy and brainpower.

I definitely love the original the most, but I can't say I hate any specific part of Dragonball. It's still enjoyable to me. As long as it isn't as bad as the Kaguya arc, I can't complain

 

Yea I definately agree on Naruto. To me, what lost me in Naruto was it becoming a DBZ clone and losing its Ninja'ness. You know, they basically tossing around attacks that are blowing up mountains and shit.

Oh and not ot mention the overpoweredness of eye powers. I so hate illusion based shit in stories. I feel like I would read 2-3 chatpers of Naruto and then being told that those last 2-3 chapters were all an illusion and the two characters were just standing there doing nothing. Or the annoying ass cliffhanger endings where someone "dies" or something only to be an illusions. Ect. 

And part 2 was huge into giant powers and illusions. Hated it.

The eye jutsus were interesting up until Sasuke relied on it 99% of the time

 

It was irritating how they all had cons that eventually got ig nored.The byakugan had a blind spot and strained the eyes, the sharingan made one lose their sight and have severe pain, and the Rinnegan consumed massive amounts of chakra.

 

It was annoying to see Sasuke created the super ultra rinnesharbyakugan3000 while running around in the Susano 24/7, a jutsu which even Itachi struggled to use.
