I can't even go on Twitter or Reddit without somebody shitting on DB, I feel like nowadays nobody respects the vets like Yu Yu Hakasho, Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, and Jojo's would be getting the same treatment if not for the latest anime

If you haven't watched an anime or haven't read the manga, please don't speak shit about it.

I still really enjoy OG DB and even Z but there are glaring flaws (mainly in Z) like for instance death being of no consequence. Though I find it funny you say JoJo gets more respect because of a new anime is funny since DB also got a new anime and I think that hurt it's reputation with some fans if anything.

The other cases it really is just older media in any medium is not going to be brought up by the mainstream or popular crowd. What is current is what gets talked about and that has always been true.

Underrated as in people calling the plot shit.

Jojo got a reboot, Super is a continuation fanservice, not a reboot

There was also DBZ Kai which was a reboot. That only finished five years ago. As for the first case yeah.... it's a flawed work and most big action/adventure battle shonen get plenty of flack.

Reboot as in re-animation from the beginning to end

That's oddly specific in large most of the Western fandom hasn't seen OG DB and their opinions are very much from Z. That is also the part that gets critiqued the most. How is DB getting a remake going offset the problems people have with Z?

Idk people just love to hate for no reason

Buddy I do have reasons to dislike some of the things DB did. It's not blind hate. Plenty of people have various opinions on why they don't like some of the decisions of the series. That's true for any media work. You can handwave any critique as just haters but there are people who will give you a well thought critique of it.

This just starts to come off as you being sensitive for more than anything either to critique regarding DB or the fact most new fans are chasing new relevant content out there they can socialize with people on.

See everytime I ask them they don't give an answer they just give a salty reply, it's like their angry about something so I think it's just clear hate but idk maybe I'm blinded by nostalgia

I mean where are you posting lol. You aren't going to get much meaningful or insightful conversation in most internet communities that is true for any series not DB. Battle shonen tend to have some of the worst communities as well.

Secondly I am not telling you to go denigrate a series you care about. I am just saying not everyone is just hating on DB. There are critiques maybe those don't bother you. That's true for my favorites.

That said I don't really see that much hate towards DB from new fans. Most of them are talking or bashing stuff like MHA or Demon Slayer. DB mostly gets talked about at all by older fans or people already up to watch older titles.

Woah lol

On Twitter all the new fans love MHA and hate DB same as Reddit

I don't think you have been where I have been. MHA S4 was getting bashed for implied animation issues and most people feeling disinterested in the story. I rarely see a thread at all on DB/DBZ on reddit but every week you will get a few "hey am I the only one who thinks Demon Slayer is overrated/trash".

If you could remember, on the rare chance you do see a Dragon Ball thread, what does it say?

It's usually just watch orders on reddit because most people for some reason want to skip DB (the best part) and get to Z or Super.
