When you say "I hate anime" that set includes all of it. You could say I hate anime GENERALLY and it would be fine. I think the semantic nitpicking is justified here because whenever people make an exception for anime that's "good," yet dismiss the medium and other potentially watchable shows it just demonstrates how lazy and complacent people are with their media consumption.

I'd say Dragon Ball and Cowboy Bepop are the most acceptable anime to watch for normal people
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Where do you guys watch this? And is it dubbed in English yet?
17 vs Goku was a interestingly animated fight to be honest. I think it's a bit bullshit that all these characters seem to be god-tier all of a sudden, but I guess it can't be helped.

Frieza's gains getting him to god level in 4 months is far crazier than 17 doing it in over a decade of training

goku held back a lot17 got a power boost to become relevant end of story
