Dragon Ball Super should be a more episodic character-driven story like OG Sailor Moon

I just realize that Toei sucks in general when it comes to writing story arcs.., which is why most of the movies and GT sucked dragonballs from a writing standpoint, but writing character-driven stories actually brings out the best in them. Since Toei only have a general plotline to follow and fill in the blanks for canon episodes they suffer greatly from wacky power scaling, plot-hole galore, tension-destroying (unfunny) comedy skits, and butchered characterization.

But when they do those self-contained episodes... at least the recent ones, my hopes skyrocket up. Sure they're not perfect but I really enjoy them... at least more than the canon stuff. Could it be that Toei works better with character-driven stories than plot-driven ones like Dragon Ball?

What do y'all think?

Yes, one of the positive things in GT was the character's development and emotions stuff but the story still suck.

Yeah, it seems that they are effective with character-driven stories, which makes some of the fillers actually enjoyable.

GT had barely any character development. Let's not go crazy here.

I actually like GT's character development.


Anyway, on topic dragon Ball is meant to be saga driven. If the sagas suck, maybe we should just quit on life. Zamasu saga was stupid but I enjoyed myself, it's just a cartoon after all.
