I'll give it another try in the future with that in mind.
@Pax: Dragonball Zeto and GT both get tiresome in that regard. It ultimately turns into 3 episodes of Goku getting his ass handed to him, 3 episodes of him charging a Genki Dama and two Episodes of him retaliating against the villain. I stopped watching during the Buu saga for that reason. You're only in the Android Saga. I'm pretty sure you're early on in it, too. Watch "The History of Trunks" if you haven't yet. Then finish the Saga. Android 17 and Gohan are my two favorite characters from the series. Cell Saga is pretty good. It follows the same structure though, he also has multiple forms, lots of blasts, you know the drill. The newest movie, "The Battle of the Gods" is pretty much Goku fighting Mewtwo. I watched it in japanese with no subtitles, so I have no idea what was being said, but honestly, you don't have to know what was being said...it's DBZ.
Speaking of Anime, I thought I posted this already:
Watched Samurai Champloo. I enjoyed it, a lot. Funny, good fights, good animation and Steve Blum to boot.
Next on my list is Attack on Titan. Watched the first episode, definitely going to watch more.
