I'm surprised you have ranked Episode I so high. Although i've only watched episodes IV and V most people says The Phantom Menace is the movies that sucks the most from the franchise.
It's less so that I like it and moreso I find it least worse than the others. The Phantom Menace is far from the most hated film in the franchise by the majority (The Last Jedi has that title now). It's reputation is more from how much of a disappointment it was for fans when the original trilogy were the only movies (not counting the terrible Holiday of Special or Ewoks TV films). As far as the prequels go, it had a lot less dumb moments or bad acting/dialogue than the other two. Fans just get bored by the politics and triggered by Midichlorians, which were far from the biggest problems of the prequels. That, and most of the fanbase have started to show more love for the prequels since the new trilogy ruined the franchise even moreso.

Do you think Bobba Fett was a pointless character?
In a way, considering he didn't really do anything in the original trilogy, though through the Expanded Universe material such as his pre-prequel backstory fleshing out his personality and background or the The Clone Wars TV show and a few comics showing his rise to power as the best bounty hunter, I'd say he isn't pointless as a whole. Plus, he's at least far more likeable or memorable for aesthetic qualities than most of the characters from the sequel trilogy are for any aspect of their character (eg. Phasma just being a less cool version of him).

Do you have the game ? If so, who is the character you play best ?
Bump for this as my cousin let me play his copy of the game when I was at his house. My choice is Kid Buu, usually in a team with Goku Black and Gotenks.

Haven't played it since the only Nintendo consoles I've owned were a DS, 3DS and Wii (and barely played the Wii anyway).

Haven't listened to enough of their works to form a solid opinion, but I most likely would based on what little I've heard from them.

Dragon Ball related question, but do you think there was a rage boost stacked up on top of Gohan's SSJ2 at the Cell Games?

Most likely. Vegeta's confidence in being able to beat Gohan due to him having becoming rusty yet appalled by his decrease in power at the 25th TB implies he didn't expect Gohan to be that much weaker than his Cell Games self. This can't fit with the statements that show pre-Majin Vegeta was far below Goku whilst also taking into account those that imply SS2 Goku/Majin Vegeta to only be minimally above CG Gohan. Having a rage boost for a chain of SS2 Goku/Majin Vegeta > Enraged SS2 Gohan >> Pre-Majin Vegeta ~ SS2 CG Gohan is the only way to make sense of this. Vegeta stating there's no telling how strong Gohan could be if he went into a frenzy would also seem to support this.

Hard to say. DBZ handled the Saiyan Arc better due to the filler training segments offering Gohan authentic character development and made the humans seem like they were actually going through a lot of effort to achieve their power. Kai handled the Freeza Arc better purely due to there being no Fake Namek. Cell/Boo Arcs are about the same for both or slightly in Z's favour since whilst Kai removed a select few filler scenes, they removed far too little of consequence in both compared to what they maintained, such as still having most of the Cell Juniors VS Z-Warriors or Pure Boo >> All other Boos. If anything, they removed the more likeable filler scenes such as the somewhat funny driving episode and Saiyaman adventures, or the parts that made events seem like less of a convenience such as Trunks' struggle within the Rosat or most of Goku and Gohan's training within it. It also doesn't help that the ost of Kai's Boo Arc is nowhere close to Kikuchi's score. These reasons also make Kai seeem worthless to an extent, as unless taking out the filler entirely for a 100% manga faithful experience, it comes off as nothing but a cashgrab.
On the subject of music, I'd also probably give the point to Z. I like Yamamoto's score a lot and it's by no means an easy decision, but his plagarism can't be ignored and whilst his score works a lot better in moments such as the Ginyu Tokusentai arriving or SSJ Goku's speech to Freeza, Kikuchi's score packs for more emotion into scenes such as Goku sparing Vegeta, most of the Freeza VS Goku fight and most of all, Gohan's SS2 transformation.

So overall, DBZ > Kai by a minimal amount.

How would you rate Overlord(anime)?

Haven't seen it, though it seems to have nothing really going for it in terms of substance to set it apart from most other "Transported to another world" trope shows. In terms of what can be considered the checklist of what makes a good use of this trope, it fails on every level as there isn't a constant sense of the objective to go back when the main character finds the world fun, death/consequences seem non-existent and there's no sort of change in perspective from start to finish. From what I'm aware of such criteria, the original Digimon and to a lesser extent 12 Kingdoms and .hack/sign were the only anime of this sub genre to do a good job with the trope.
From what I know of it, I wouldn't rate it as worthless since it seems to suffice as dumb fun, which is more than can be said of the more brain numbing trainwrecks of this sub-genre such as Re: Zero and SAO. Would probably rate it as a 2 or 3/10 if I were to see it.
