I know it's old as dirt, but I've started watching Dragon Ball Z Abridged by Team 4 Stars, it's freaking fantastic.
it's something I watched like...the first dozen or so episodes of way back when, and then just never picked up again despite hearing again and again and again how good it is. I really should just hunker down and watch the whole thing one day.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.

3. Related to 2 is Kagome's character. I am not a girl but I know many teen girls who really identified with her and felt she was portrayed incredibly believably. And who gets derided more than teenage girls? Not fanservice bait and not a badass, she was still every bit the main character that Inuyasha was. Yet her character focused more on love and growing up and similarly mundane things. I noticed it years ago that, in spite of it being Inuyasha who is constantly abrasive and crude and, ya know, cheating on Kagome, it was Kagome who received the vast majority of ire online. Because she's a girl and does girl things and that's icky. She was the sweetest, most understanding girlfriend you could ever wish for and she was attached to an insensitive blockhead but nobody said a word about the blockhead and just attacked her. To hear some talk you'd think Kagome spent the entire show screaming and complaining.

I know this is an old post, but I have to get this off my chest.

One thing I hate about anime fandoms in general is the idea of best girl and worst girl.

The worst thing about Inuyasha is the fact that because of the dumb love triangle, there has to be an idea that one girl is nearly perfect, and whatever flaws she has are extremely minor, while the other girl is apparently the worst human being in the history of mankind, and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I know it's 4chan, but whenever there's an Inuyasha thread up there, a lot of it consists of people singing endless praise to Kikyou and how terrible of a person Kagome is. It's loving stupid

The first 10 or so episodes are the worst ones, too. I just tell people to start with the Nappa fight.

And with all things made a decade ago, it is a product of the times. (I'm compelled to say that about old poo poo I like more and more lately, and that's a good thing. :allears: )

Agreed, it gets good when Nappa shows up, what a fantastic character. Also the VA for Vegeta is incredibly good.

It's been so long since I watched the actual series, whenever I think about DBZ characters in my head the voices I hear are mostly actually the Abridged versions. They really nail it

That's probably as good as that series will ever look without AI upscaling, eh?

Captain Cappy

No, because AI will eventually reach a point where you merely need to poorly explain Azumanga Daioh and it will redraw the entire series from scratch.

I thought that's what you're watching though. It looks scaled up in a weird way where the lines stayed extra crisp but other stuff got fuzzy.
