The best anime I've seen, with One Piece and YuYU Hakusho as runner ups. But DragonBall Kai and DBS are trash.

brutally good, this beginning was very promising for history, has good characters and is consistent with its origins, the action sequences here is also quite creative and has a little bit of essential violence in this anime.
