I was also disapointed with the whole lack of a sayain thing.
I also agree that theres not much relevance for Dragon Ball nowadays, but compared to all the current gen anime (99.9% of which I simply cannot stand) it has some staying power. I wouldnt call it relevant, but at least nostalgic. That says nothing to its quality, which wasnt very high but for some reason I remember liking it as a teenager.
