1) Saiya-jin domination, as per Kid Buu. Tien pwning Cell was hardcore, but it barely did anything. Sure, it did some super sweet plotline thing, but Cell wasn't any worse for the wear afterwards.
2) Lame villains. Cell? Buu? Gay. Fuz is where it was at. And Vegeta.
3) Great Saiyaman.
4) Horrendous fight sequences. Someone already mentioned it, but it deserves repeating. When I watch a fight, I want to see new things. I don't want to see Cell and Goku doing the same punch-kick combo super fast over and over again. I want to see Cell getting drilled in the head with a kick and sent flying, but correcting himself with a somersault, all while charging a Kamehameha Wave, which Goku dodges and sends one of his own, at which point Cell kicks off, charges ki into his fists, and punches through the wave and into Goku, who promptly flies off, only to correct himself while sending a flurry of ki blasts to throw off the trail, while...
See what I mean? Much cooler sequence than, "Oh, man. My non-descript melee attacks aren't causing any damage! And we're already fifteen minutes into a twenty minute episode! Damn, what will I do to keep their interest?"
5) SSJ4.
6) Two-dimensional characters. Goku is such a boring character. Vegeta would be boring, were it not for the whole "Father of Trunks" thing. That was deep and interesting. He changed his way of life just for the kid. And right when you're all settled with Vegeta's new figure, BAM! Majin Vegeta hahaha! Then Final Explosion...damn. Those were great times. Even if they happened in the Buu Saga.
7) The Spirit Bomb. Damnit folks, there are other ways to kill baddies. I could've told you Goku was gonna whup Kid Buu with a Spirit Bomb AGES before the saga even came out. It was just fact. The only major non-movie villain I don't think he ever used Spirit Bomb against was Cell. It was just dumb.
8) Everyone and their monkey going SSJ. Whoa! Goku just went SSJ after years and years of training and hard work and determination and perseverence! I guess that means we can go SSJ at age 7, without any real emotional trigger. Sweet!
9) The horrible dubbing. "Cell, you killed my dad! Stop it you big bully!" No. Gohan, we're sorry you had to use such kiddish words in such an obviously taxing situation. If I ever oversee a dub for DBZ, I promise the words/phrases "damn, son of a bitch, bastard, and cocksucker" will all be useable. Well, maybe not cocksucker.
10) Lack of actual tactics.
11) Gohan giving up fighting to do school. Dumbest plot move ever. I mean, hell. You just saved the universe. You are potentailly the strongest person, like, ever. So what do you do? You go to high school and stop training. Duh. Not like any pink jello-ish creature will ever attack.
12) Over-commercialization.
I'll probably think of more later.
