There's so much lost when the voice actors change. But I dunno... I tend to be a bit more violent than most females and many males which I know. I'm probably the only girl in existence to find DBZ "cute." (I mean, come on--Vegeta is forced into wearing a pink shirt once... PINK... how can you beat that for traumatizing a character?)
Ah, just wanted to say I agree completely. ^_^ I watch that anime namely for his character (and Mirai Trunks) and I find it hilarious. I think the funniest episode is either the one you mentioned or the one with the 'worms' inside Buu's stomach and Vegeta's adverse reaction to them. One thing I can say for dbz, aside from the action it has some of the funniest *non-slapstick* humor I've seen in anime - you just have to like the characters to appreciate it.
And on that note, I don't hate DBGT completely - I have to give them props for putting Trunks in a dress. But it's still too cute for me (I prefer Z over the original season as well - too oriented to the young lighthearted viewer). I like the mix of humor and angst better than just cutsy things.
More anime I dislike (hate is a little too strong for these):
Goldenboy (no thanks)
Boku no Sexal Harrassment (don't ask)
Pilot Candidate (great idea, don't like the girls)
Rurouni Kenshin: Christian Saga (mostly just this saga)
Digimon (the newest series, not the first 2 seasons)
Pokemon (I've only watched it with my 2yr old niece, but the first movie was good)
And basically everything I listed in the 'Sucky Anime' thread.
