Cell saga was something different, Gohan finally maturing and realizing what he really is.
Frieza saga was darker, I'd say. Frieza liked to torture his victims.
Piccolo trained at the time chamber afterwards.
No he did not
?????
Piccolo trains in the time chamber during the 10 day build up to the Cell games.
i want to go into the chamber of time so i can escape my responsibilities.

Does not compute. Towards the end of the Cell arc and the beginning of the Buu arc the manga was at its popularity peak in both anime and manga. Cell himself was just not as popular as a villain as Freezer and Vegeta, but that's about it. The backlash against it mostly comes from the west but its still mostly enjoyable. Even the claims raised against it about fans hating Gohan becoming the MC and Toriyama having to change it back are completely unsupported by any tangible evidence. That was simply Toriyama's decision.
Personally, I think it wasn't as well executed as the saiyan/namek arc and Cell actually became less interesting as a character as he grew in power, and it wasn't as creative as the Buu arc (the problem with the Buu arc is that Tori had way too many ideas that were interesting on their own but he couldn't quite gel them into a cohesive narrative), but it had its own fair share of memorable fight and interesting moments.
>Attempt to introduce two main antagonistic forces (three if you count Gero)
>Villain's motivation goes down as his smugness goes up
>Out of control power scaling, much worse than anything we've seen up to this point in the series
>Protagonists have to be lobotomized to justify most of the retarded shit they do in order to progress the plot (Vegeta allowing Ugly Cell to become Smug Cell because "muh pride," Goku sending his preteen son to fight a planetbusting monster, Krillin letting a key component to Ugly Cell becoming Smug Cell live because his dick got wet, etc)
>Smug Cell not knowing what the fuck to do after his end goal is achieved starting a tournament arc
Everything after Bug Cell becomes Ugg Cell is shit.
