DBZ and Pokemon are the peak of accessible anime to the west because they were just the right thing at the right time (the 90s).Anime is nowhere near as niche as it was 25-40 years ago, but DBZ and Pokemon were lightning in a bottle that were made popular by variety programming like Toonami and Cheez TV. It only stands to reason kids of that time hungered for the movies.Whereas now, anime in general is more popular, but there isn't just one thing everyone gravitates to, likely brcause of streaming services and the abundance of programming choice.Because we had limited access to Dragon Ball content and watching Goku turn Super Saiyan, use a Kamehameha and save the day - to a Soundtrack of 00s grunge - was peak.Yes. Because those villains scale better and are easier to incorporate. Pre-Z Dragon Ball was not as well known by the West at the time.Because people in the West had access to Lord Slug and the context. I don't think Dragon Ball had even been properly dubbed until they finished with Z.
