Exactly! In the late 90s/early 00s it was the gateway shounen anime for a lot of people, because it was always on, at the right time for teens and college kids to access it. It has a low threshold of engagement because the story isn't complex and caters to the same demographic as blockbuster movies with lots of explosions. Which isn't a small demographic.

But now? A LOT of DBZ fandom for the spinoffs is maintained by 30-40 year old lifetime fans, and maybe their smaller children (I do see a lot of very cute kids dressed as Gohan at cons). The teens/20s audience wants way weirder and gorier in their anime now.

In my country, in the late '80s, the only other shōnen anime we got was Fist of the North Star. It was horribly violent and tbh shouldn't have been broadcast to kids but I still thought it was more interesting that DBZ.
