‘Dragon Ball also has so much filler, you can cut 6 minutes/episode out of the Tenkaichi Budokai runs (and that's NOT an exaggeration, I timed it)’
It’s really funny that you think your subjective idea of what is ‘filler’ is somehow important. It’s also really funny that you keep harping on the ‘filler’ at all when it was very clear Jeff and Dan enjoyed the non-fight non-expository moments in Dragon Ball Z Kai. They spoke about this explicitly and sought out the *most* filler of episodes, the one where Goku and Piccolo learn to drive.
You should re-listen to the podcast.
‘the animation doesn't repeat as much but is generally a lower-quality, and far more cutesy’
The animation in last couple story-arcs of Dragon Ball and the beginning of Z are of the highest quality the series ever achieves. You can’t be serious.
And for the ‘cutesy’ comment, holy shit who cares?! You need to re-experience this entire website where the people producing content find disliking a timeless art-style because it is ‘cute’ pretty laughable. It’s also hardly true, as again, Dragon Ball shows characters bloodied and with holes in them. More damage than Dragon Ball Super, obviously.
Your arguments for Dragon Ball Super instead of Dragon Ball are nonsensical. Satan and Buu are barely in Super. Arale is in Dragon Ball first, and in a Dragon Ball movie. You claim the characters grow and develop but Dragon Ball Super is literally a Dragon Ball Z midquel that has the characters locked in an un-developing state from before where Dan and Jeff saw them last. Are you serious? You do see how several characters grow and develop over the course of Dragon Ball?…Right?
