DBZ was definitely a thing when I was a kid. I liked the character design, and the huge attacks were cool, but the way that they stretched out thin scripts with repetitive, pointless, easy to animate dialogue. I understand that they did this because they had to crank out an episode every week or so. I gave up on it the third time half the episode was a hero sweating in a rocky canyon with minutes of internal dialog with the only animation being eye twitches and the occasional camera shift.
I probably would have been more into it if I was a year or two younger. I also briefly got into Power Rangers the first season it aired, but aged out of it immediately. Like I said, I’m old.
I get the fandom for the various things I’ve nit-picked on, and don’t judge those that enjoy them.
In conclusion, Parasite Eve was rad as hell and should have had two sequels and a remaster.
I also completely agree that the way DBZ stretched out episodes was quite annoying, but…!
I would suggest you maybe look into something like Xenoverse 1 or 2, if you want to basically play through a kind of alt-history version of DBZ, with all of its uh, greatest hits, and much less filler.
I loved Power Rangers as a kid, and this is basically cementing that I was quite close with my guess that you’re about a decade older than me, haha!
And finally, yes, I also agree that Parasite Eve was a very interesting game that deserved more love, but at this point, I’d guess you’d say its roughly the video game equivalent of a cult classic.
I also feel that way about Bungie’s nearly entirely forgotten game ‘Oni’.
Its… essentially a better ‘You are Motoko Kusanagi from GitS’ game than the actual official GitS games, at least in terms of actual gameplay.
It was crazy when the change happened. I’ve moment I was stoked to find out who the Green Ranger was, then, suddenly, I gave zero shits for the rubber suit monsters that the leotard wearing heroes kind -of fought.
Maybe the whole Monster of the Week Aesthetic wore thin, alongside the terrible American acting.
What were we talking about? Oh yeah video games.
I would play the shit out of a Trigun video game , even if must of it was wandering around villages and interrogating people.
Hey you know Chrono Trigger!
Ever heard of maybe… Dragon Ball (Z)?
Same artist, at least for the concept and promotional art, character portraits.
RIP Akira Toriyama.

And you’d get a bonus for every target you spared. Why isn’t this a game? (Don’t say Undertale)
