cuttin_in_farm posted... Vegeta is in peak condition in the Buu saga.
Mr. Satan gets a massively better arc in the Buu saga too.
Tien fulfills the exact same role he does in Cell saga by saving Dende, only this time he actually saves a character permanently instead of for a brief time period in Cell saga.
Buu saga is underrated. Videl was a great character too.
Gohan didnt even earn his transformation in the Cell saga. An android he barely talked to was the catalyst for crying out loud.
I agree with TC that nostalgia fuels the Cell saga love. The climax of the saga is literally Cell stands around for a tournament but only fights Goku.. The android portion was engaging since it was three factions at play, but the second Cell becomes perfect, what intrigue is there?
Hell, the final beam struggle has to have the anime bail it out since the manga version only has Vegeta help out.
Yeah, it's not like Cell was torturing everyone Gohan cared for for a while before this final action by Cell.
