Buu was mindless, and stupid. He also had no deep connections with almost any of the main cast.
Freiza was by far the best villain in dbz.
I disagree, a villain doesn't need to have deep connections with the main cast. I didn't really like Freeza (although I really liked the saga as a whole), can't really put my finger on it why I'm not so enthousiastic about him.
Buu on the other hand was masterfully thought out, first form being like a naughty kid, being split in evil and good Buu and gradually getting more and more evil. I really liked that saga, especially the last form and the form without having absorbed any of the Z fighters.

yeah it's quite ridiculous how much filler there is in DBZ lol, I remember when Freeza tried to blow up namek and then he says it will blow up in 5 minutes, 20 episodes later namek finally explodes and goku escapes -.-.
I love the anime though, my favorite anime ever .
Yes, the freeza saga got soooo ridiculous. Those really needed to be edited down.
And even after all these years, watching an episode the other day confirmed that I still like the show . Though Robotech will always be my favorite (first anime I watched I think, maybe Pokemon was before, I dunno)
I think you guys might need to rewatch dbz because he only did the spirit bomb charge for ONE episode not 10.
Kai is beyond terrible, i cant believe the amount of things they have taken out and CHANGED, the music for one annoys me more than anything. The music in DBZ was extremely good, didnt need to be changed, it aged really well. The death scenes of characters did not need to be remade the way they did. Take the filler out, thats fine but dont CHANGE shit, example; take the episode where goku learns to drive, thats fine but dont take out the 35 seconds leading up to krillins death vs freeza. If they screw up Gohan vs Cell, i will NEVER forgive them for that, the Cell saga is the greatest saga but Freeza is the better villain.

In my opinion the Buu saga will always be the best, if u skip out the 20 pointless episodes of Gohan trying to get in Videls pants >.<
But the action in that series from Goku vs Vegeta to the end where Vegeto helps save the world, so much action in the Buu saga. But the best bit is original transformation of Super Sayian of course!
Ill have to watch these new DBZ kai episodes, i didnt think they were going to do any remakes, its good i guess! They should bring more episodes out <3

Mate, you just don't appreciate it 'cos you're older. It's like someone saying Bruce Lee movies are shit compared to Jet Li's recent ones, but without the Bruce Lee ones to set the precedent Jet Li's movies wouldn't be as good as they are today.

Sorry mate but akira toriyama didn't really even want to write the Buu saga he had to be convinced to write it by the fans. The majority of people who watched DBZ will also agree that the Buu Saga was worse than the Saiyan, Freeza, Namek, Ginyu Force, Android and Cell (including Cell games) Sagas, I will give the Buu saga credit for being better than the Garlic Junior Saga and Dragon Ball GT
No amount of editing is going to make DBZ good. It's poorly drawn and the animation is even worse. It was even terrible by the standards of 1989.
The OAVs are pretty good, and the TV specials are decent, but the show itself was a turd. Kai is only less of a turd because it's shorter and therefore the pain ends much quicker.
If you're a DBZ fan, do yourself a favor and watch the OAVs, then maybe read the comics. The art is meh, but compared to the anime it looks like a renaissance masterpiece and the pace is much much quicker. It's also a lot funnier and uncensored.
