I really strongly disliked DBZ....All that ever seemed to happen was a bunch of over-built guys would scream at each other, beat the crap outa each other, babble a bit, and shoot goofy energy beams somehow....Not much plot dialog or character interaction/situation building....Just WWE as an anime. Back then if a whole episode was a beat down it better have had a damn good build up to hold my interest....I can watch DBZ now (longer attention span), but I still don't get why so many of my peers had been so into it.....
Maybe I should track down Sailor Moon and see if it can hold my attention now....
Perhaps one the better series I can recall in the last few years was Code Geass. Every episode had interesting stuff happen, and usually ended with a WTF kind of plot twist or hint of one that left me dying to see next weeks episode.

Yeah I had some friends when I was in School (back around 2005, I graduated high School in 2007) that were into Dragonball and I really didn't understand why because of what few episodes of it I did see it seemed like it was nothing but people yelling at each other and putting the smack-down on each other (I liked your description of it WWE Anime Style).
And yes I have been fixing TVs and VCRs since I was in Jr. High (around 2001 or so.)
