I know this statement sounds like an insult, but I think you're right on the mark.TheMadOne wrote:And I think that´s the key of all DB hardcore-fanboys. They don´t see the crap that is sold. They see the story that could have been sold.
I like dbz for what it does have - enough so that I can overlook the glaring faults. That's what makes me a fan of the anime. I'm the same way with any anime I like - I look at the aspects that apeal to me and ignore the parts that I dislike. If there's more 'positive' than 'negative' for me as a viewer, I like the anime as a whole - flaws included. People like living, but how many people actually like having to go to the bathroom some 5 times a day for EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE. You take the good with the bad. That's true for everything.
Those who only see the bad are just doing the opposite - half empty/half full, pick one. You'll be a fan or a hater. It doesn't reflect on the anime, just the person and what he or she sees in that anime.
