I've pretty much cooled on any newer (and most older) anime but I did recently find out that DBZ Kai is a remastered and tightened up version of DBZ, not another series altogether, so I dove in.
It really is a huge improvement, still not totally binge-friendly but still *much* easier to watch back-to-back-to-back without feeling like you're watching the exact same thing for hours on end. I just wrapped up the Frieza fight (@ around episode 50ish) and while the trend is still very much "we have to hold out until Goku is able to do Goku shit, oh my god they killed Krillin, you bastards!", it's a lot more enjoyable than the 10 or so episodes of DBZ that I made it through on my best attempt.

I've always enjoyed Dragon Ball/DBZ/DBS, but I can agree it has it's issues, especially when it comes to pacing and the whole shonen power creep thing. Still there are some interesting moments and cool characters.
Recentish shows I've liked a lot:
Apothacary Diaries
Undead Murder Farce
Gundam The Witch from Mercury
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Dead Mount Death Play
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Zenshu

Well I've never heard of any of those except for Cyberpunk, which I loved. I'll have to check em out.

They are making a scooby doo anime

if there isn’t a gag about the mystery machine isekaiing someone then what’s the point

I can't stand dbz. Im already not really a fan of "fight of the week" shonen, but dbz was like "fight of the month" and i never understood the appeal. dudes grunting and charging up for three episodes is encredibly boring. like a whole anime made out of filler episodes from better shows.
I also am not a fan of that dude's art style, with the giant foreheads. You see those foreheads in dragon quest and you know its the same dude. instead of big eyes small mouth he does giant head scrunched faces.
