Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Cell looks kind of poo poo and Super Sayian Trunks looks silly.

Also, I skipped through and have no idea why Trunks is fighting Perfect Cell.

Is that Vegeta standing near Bulma when she's holding the baby near the end? I just sort of flicked through this with the sound off so I'm not sure. If so, that's one goofy looking Vegeta.

There was that Mega Man one a few years back that was really solid; other than some janky CGI on the fully non-human Robot Masters. And then there was the POWER/RANGERS thing from a little while ago, that (opinions on treatment of the subject matter notwithstanding) was incredibly well done.

Comments re: the film

1.) Trunks going super saiyan was hilarious
2.) What was cell's motivation
3.) Tall vegeta with chest hair

in Dragon Ball Super instead of going Super Saiyan Blue there will be a dramatic reveal during the Frieza fight where Vegeta takes on his new form Tall Vegeta

Yeah I brought that up when I was going through the Manga a few months ago. It's completely bizarre, Piccolo speaks in complete gibberish for the first few chapters, then he goes back to normal.

Didn't Viz translate the first chapters of the Saiyan Saga as their first foray into DB? I'd chalk it up to them not finding their footing just yet.

I don't really know the answer to question one except for DB being much more free with destruction and death than more American cartoons. Might be a comparison thing. Compared to other shows, it was very free to have a character destroy every person on earth in a single attack while everyone looks on in horror. Not that I agree, but give people time to forget the details and they might make this kind of image in their heads.

Nerds think grimdark is mature because they don't understand maturity and think being morose, depressed, and hosed-up is mature. In other words, they never grew up.

1. More people in America are familiar with Z.
2. Even still, King Piccolo could be pretty dark. But Z took it one step further with children being murdered in the Freeza Saga and then the Cell Saga being the darkest arc in DB history. That's what, 500 episodes of pretty serious poo poo? Also Cell Saga tends to be a lot of people's favorite. It's my favorite from Part 2, to be sure.
