I don't mind high power levels & power creep, at least not in principle because it can also become a story of beating impossible odds. I very much enjoyed DB Super for that reason too with its completely over the top fights. But DB & DBZ have so much shit that it would be hard for me to get through nowadays as well (was even annoying when I was young) or even recommend it to others.

What riles me up however is when protagonist and antagonist meet and start to have some completely moronic dialog about their plans and intentions, like they're best buddies and it's of course always a good idea for the villain to spew their plans. Or when you have the protagonists have their 5 minute monologues in front of a repeating background that explains the very obvious situation that they're in, in case I somehow wasn't paying attention to what was just happening (convenient if you can cut 5 of 20 minutes of an episode like that). Or when they have that inner monologue to explain how various things work, as if they were a given, which just makes it sound like they just make shit up as they go most of the time (AoT had a moment of that too with the armored ability of "moving consciousness" through their body). Or when they have their idiotic grimaces and shit as a reaction to something, especially something the enemy just said to them.

I could go on and on... There's just so many anime tropes like this that I absolutely hate. It's sad because between all this and some of the very nonsensical shit there are definitely good ones out there, but they're almost impossible to find if you don't want to wade through all the garbage first.
