I wanna watch the Dragonball anime but then switch to manga when the series gets to Z since DBZ has tons of filler. After which arc do I drop the manga? I keep hearing people say that it becomes stale and repetitive at various points. What is the last good arc in the series?

U can watch dragon ball kai. it is basically edited version of dragon ball z without filler.

"After which arc do I drop the manga?" - either read manga or watch anime. I don't think doing repeated transition between manga and anime will make a good experience.

"I keep hearing people say that it becomes stale and repetitive at various points" - that is literally said by people who don't like dragon ball franchise kind of anime story. If u are one of them its better not watch it.

I guess android/Cell arc (chapter 338-420) is most appreciated among people (even from above kind)

I like saiyan/freeza arc (chapter 195-337) most.
Personally every arc in dragon ball z is good. U can take it or leave it.

Please drop it after Pan appears as a contestant in a martial arts tournament, that's the best way :)

actually db has only 10% filler and series like bleach and naruto have 40% filler so that's a misconception. You should go either ways I'll say reading manga completely is better as it's very long.

Bruh, Dragon Ball don't have eveb that much filler compared to its successors. Also some fillers are fun like Goku and Piccolo driving episode, young master roshi etc.

What Adampk said, stick to a single medium. And i'd warmly suggest you said medium to be the manga from the beginning

Agreed, a lot of the filler especially the slice-of-life ones weren't bad at all, even though the filler arcs like Garlic jr kinda were, and also the pacing problem is very true (but i agree it's far from being the worst adaptation)

DBZ is pretty good such as driving one and the krillin gf. So you should give it a watch.

You can drop it right now if you don't like it.
"Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate.
Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of ‘interest’, ‘kinship’, ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘hate’. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction.

This is the truth behind life."
