I like the Cell Saga a lot in a vacuum, but if I'm talking about...

OK.

I feel like this sounds like pretentious bullshit, but I don't respect the Cell Saga. I really like it, but if I'm talking about "how does this impact my opinion of Dragonball as a historic series", to me it clearly muddled it, and Dragonball would have been an actual classic in the sense that it was a manga that was constantly recommended as a must read, something that was looked back on fondly instead of the huge corporate mess it is nowadays, if it had made a clean break at Namek.

And I have to reiterate I REALLY like the Cell Saga, it's a stupid mess but it's a really fun stupid mess, unlike Buu which is just a really awful stupid mess.

And of course I'm on the record to have hated most of the stuff after that too, and nothing more so than the constant new forms and transformations. Super Saiyan being the end of it (no need to tack 1 on there, God imagine that perfect world) would have been profoundly more satisfying.
