I would suggest Demonoid. But if you can't get an account there go for PirateBay, but try to get one from Demonoid whenever possible because it's way better.

Dragon Ball yea. Not DBZ. So many terrible plot devices, and full of story arcs that just drag on. Should have ended after the frieza saga :B.

The abridged series is quite entertaining though,

The DBZ Series ending before the Cell Saga? I think not...Introduction of Trunks and the Introduction of possibly the best villan in the series

DBZ makers were geniuses. They made millions of dollars by screaming and powering up.

Eh, I don't really see how people can say this when you take the manga and DBZ Kai into account.

The reason why there was an excessive amount of screaming and powering up is because they wanted to prolong the battles to fill out more episodes, since they were catching up to the manga really fast and they needed to slow down.

When DBZ Kai came out, what used to be around 300 episodes got trimmed down to 99 episodes, though that was also because they ended it at the Cell Saga.

Speaking of Cell Saga, that was easily the best. Cell is undoubtedly the best villian in the series by far as well.

Frieza saga >>>

Frieza as a villain >>>

He killed nearly all of the Namekians and destroyed their planet. Nearly killed all of the Saiyans and destroyed their planet (after pretty much enslaving them). He killed Vegeta, Vegeta's father, Goku's father, Dende (a child!), Krillin practically twice (skewered and 'sploded), and nearly killed both Piccolo and Gohan without a second thought. He ****in' drowned Goku, lmao.

If Frieza were a baseball card or something, his stats would be nuts, lol. He's so evillll.

Should've ended after Frieza. Dont get me wrong, Android/Cell saga was cool, but ending after Frieza....

Basically reiterating Matador, he was super hardcore evil. On top of that, Goku reached the pinnacle of the Saiyan race, which hasn't been achieved in like 1000 years. ON TOP OF the fight being held on a planet THAT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE.

However...

After discussing the elements of dbZ with a buddy, he came up with this idea.

"If you go in thinking that Dragonball is about Goku and Dragonball Z is about Gohan, it should've ended after Cell"

A lot of DBZ showed how Gohan grew, being a crybaby in the Saiyan saga, turning super tough against Racoome of the Ginyu Force, holding his own against Frieza's transformations.... Even though Goku ends up becoming Super Saiyan and saving the day, it only builds up to Cell, showing just how strong Gohan grew and then going beyond what anybody thought possible. Goku found the Holy Grail of the Saiyan race and Gohan found something even better. Even if the match wasn't as epic as fighting on a dying planet, Gohan surpassed his father and saved the world himself, establishing his independence and taking over Goku's role as the world's hero. Like a passing of the torch.

Or am I thinking too much of this?
