>>1635642>DBZ>Action>spend five episodes powering up for 20 seconds of actionDBZ isn't an action series, it's a scam.
So what's better? Jojo, bitch. No "I'm chargin muh laser bullshit," lots of unique powers, less power levels and more clever motherfuckers, and people die without death being relegated to a meaningless nuisance, so there's actual tension.
>>1636327>KILL LA KILLThis too, but for different reasons. Fast, brutal fights, cool and varied designs, and Mako.
>>1636555>Dragon Ball Z is the Original Action CartoonYeah, not even close. Dragon Ball Z didn't even originate as being action oriented, it started life as being comedy adventures with crazy people and evolved into lame action crap. By the time Vegeta showed up the premise was already wearing thin, and everything after Frieza is garbage.
>>1643472DBZ was never supposed to be deep. Toriyama wanted to end it much earlier, but his editor pushed him to continue...for something like 29 more volumes. Toriyama has even acknowledged that it's utterly formulaic "train then fight."
