Honestly, I really do not understand those who say that this series is overrated. I really don't understand. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND!
From what I've seen, this show is OBJECTIVELY the best in the world in every way. Better than One Piece, which is truly overrated. Better than Fullmetal Alchemist. Better is Hunter X Hunter, which is also truly overrated. Etc.
There is absolutely everything here:
Cool futuristic world with parallel worlds. Although not detailed, but it is not necessary.
Charismatic and brutal characters that develop. By the way, it infuriates me when someone says that secondary characters recede into the background. In fact, there is a dual situation here. In order for, for example, Yamcha and Chaotsu to be able to actively participate in the plot (the Buu arc), they must become at the level of Super Saiyan 2 power, no less. But they cannot achieve such strength by any training. NO WAY! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! And this is the logic of the series. So complaining about the alleged "clogging of characters" is stupid. In the case of this anime, this is not a minus.
Rich arches and history. The series consists of 4 sagas: Saiyans, Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu (the last 4 episodes do not count), which raise the stakes. Just compare 1 episode and 287. In just 287 episodes, absolutely everything has changed, be it the characters or the world. It's very impressive.
Of course there are crazy ideas. For example: some senile grandfather invented androids that are stronger than the Frieza race. This is a fact - this is nonsense. BUT, I just liked this nonsense. I remember how shocked I was when I found out that androids are stronger than Frieza. It was not even just a shock, but a huge impression of what was happening.
The fights are fantastic! Here I can say with confidence - the best fighting anime. No One-Punch Man can beat the DBZ. Never and at no time!
They are stretched, but that's exactly what I liked. The feeling of tension... I just love it.
The music is also the best I've heard from any anime. One Genkidama Theme (Goodbye Majin Buu) (by the way, I consider it the best composition of all time) tears apart all modern songs. I'm already silent about other soundtracks.
As for the art style. I don't know whether to rejoice or cry, but the art of DBZ completely surpasses DBS. Even though it's been 20 years. I just don't really like fashion for everything colored and bright. I really, I repeat, really like the art style of Buu saga. He is amazing! The best I've seen. I really hope that DBS season 2 will be in it. I hope Toei heard me.
Pleasure. Suffice it to say that I watched all 291 episodes in 6 days. Believe it or not, but it's true. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. When I hear from someone that DBZ is boring, then this person immediately gets on my black list without any questions.
Of course, it may seem that my review is too exaggerated, but this would only be if the DBZ was really objectively bad, otherwise it is the best in all respects.
DBZ is the best season in the franchise and the best show ever. Emotions while watching were beyond. Cried more than once.
And the magic of this show is that it will make you fall in love with the world and the characters. Something other anime can't do.
I really doubt that something can please me as well as this anime. I would say that it is simply unrealistic.
And don't pay attention to the rating (8.15). He's understated. It really should be at least 9.90 here.
In conclusion, I will say that I will review this show more than once, because its only drawback is that there are catastrophically few episodes. 291... Very sorry. I would like to have 1000000 of them.
