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.

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