Second, **** you that arc had the best goddamn pacing this stupid franchise ever got
Pacing is one thing, but everything else...
Plus if you read the Buu saga it still has the same breakneck pacing Cell does, the anime just really stretches it out (including Kai.)
My problem with Androids is that felt pretty aimless for a while and you could tell Toriyama was kinda spinning his wheels a bit. Introducing new antagonists at every other time because either he was unsatisfied or his editors were (which he's gone on record to admitting), First 19 and 20 were meant to be the final bosses (Trunks even calls them by name when he first talks about them, in the manga anyway,) then it's 17 and 18 but oh wait now there's a green bug thing killing people so now the final boss is Cell and almost everything up until the Cell Games kinda feels like drag, On top of that pretty much the only reason why the antagonists got as far as they did was due to the main characters constantly screwing up. In a vacuum, I'd be fine with Vegeta letting Cell go perfect, Goku sandbagging Cell or Gohan letting the power boost and rage go to his head because those are perfectly in character for them, but all 3 of them at the same time in the same arc just got tiring.
I don't think it's terrible by any means tho, I still enjoy it. Future Trunks, 18, 17 and Cell are great characters we got out of it and Gohan going SSJ2 was and still is a top 5, maybe even top 3, moment in the entire franchise. But I don't enjoy the entire package as much as I do enjoy those small parts.
EDIT: Forgot to mention History of Trunks, THAT'S actually the best thing to come out of the arc.
