I don't get everyone's hate for the Buu saga and wanting DBZ to end after the Cell Saga. There were some EPIC moments in the Buu Saga (Vegeta vs Goku, Vegeta's Atomement, Vegeta conceding that Goku is better, Goku returning to his family at the tournament, Goku going beyond a SSJ2, Mystic Gohan, I am sure I am missing more.) I know the saga had its moments but I really liked it.
You can't expect Gohan who is half human to uphold is unlocked power after the cell saga when he was virtually the strongest being in the universe and the world was at peace. He never had the fighting mentality of a true saiyan, and his mom always forced him into the books. He isn't like Goku where his uprbringing demanded him to always get better, Gohan had more of a paved life. His drop off in power after Cell is very logical.
Poxx, how long do we have to wait for the dubbed version of the movie?

I don't completely hate the Buu Saga, I like a lot stuff in it.
My main beef is the hero of the saga. As a kid, I had always thought DBZ was actually about the maturation of Gohan with Goku holding the torch. The point comes where the gets passed the torch and Gohan delivers. So you'd expect from this point on, Gohan would be the hero. Instead, Goku has to save the world again. Because of which, it lessens the value because "Goku vs." has happened several times before. It wasn't solely Goku who defeated Buu, but he's was very heavily involved.
And you're correct, it's a plausible situation that Gohan loses interest. I think it sorta spits in the face of Goku though, he trusted Gohan to protect the world. Are Gohan's convictions that soft that he'd drop it? And while Goku has exited his life and Chi Chi is his dominant parent, that doesn't take the supporting cast out of the picture.
that's just me though, I don't think you can build someone up to that point, then throw him off a cliff...

I actually really like the Buu saga. I just said the ending of the Cell saga would have been a better fit for an end to the series. The Buu saga, like you said, had MANY epic moments.
A page or two back, I posted a link about when to expect a Funi dub. Fox holds the rights, so we might have to wait up to 2 years.
