That’s why Dragonball Z sucked, that’s why most obnoxiously long shonen anime sucks, how many times can you watch people train, train, train, train, get in big fight, rise, lather, repeat?

That’s why I’ve pretty much given up on shonen, it’s made for people with short attention spans and apparently, even shorter memories.
