Episode 4, 6 can be shoved together or skipped. Episode 16 is a recap/behind the scenes. That's the minimal.

This is something I can get behind as those were definitely the weak spots of the series. But I still don't get how you could view cutting some 25 episodes of the series down into three episodes and still get the same epic story.
See, thats what I'm talking about. I can't tell you how mad I was when I seen Goku (In the Cell Games saga) found all 7 Dragonballs in half a day.
Anyways, I still love the Cell and Buu saga, but it doesn't have the lengthy journey it had before.
Oh:
Too Much:
InuYasha: The first 2 season if the series I really like. But it slowly became "InuYasha, Kagome, InuYasha, Kagome, InuYasha, Kagome, InuYasha, Kagome".
Too Little:
Sonic OVA: Yeah, I know its a OVA, and most OVA's isn't that long, but I really love the world, art and music in that series. Just a little longer.
Lucky Star: Hey, I got hocked.
Just right:
Hmmm nothing yet.

Too Much: DBZ, only for the reasons that other people have said.
Pokemon, they're only milking that Cash cow more, seriously put it to pasture and make a Mario Anime.
Too Little:
I'm not to sure what you guys will say about this, but I personally think that Burst Angel should have lasted at least 2 more episodes.
Just Right:
Most everything else. I can make up stuff that happens after the series.

I thought that Pokemon would come up in this thread. While I understand where you're coming from, the series is still successful and they don't see a reason to end the series. It is pretty much milking the cash cow and advertising the games, but it works well in both regarRAB.
Too Much: I haven't seen a series that made me think that there was too many episodes. I've never been annoyed with how many episodes Pokemon has, but it probably helps that I enjoy the series.
Too Little: Ouran High School Host Club. While it ended on a good note, I really wanted to see more of these characters and more events from the manga that I've heard about. I almost want to say Fruits Basket as well, but I haven't seen the ending to the series yet.
Just Right: Fushigi Yugi. This was a fun series and I think that it covered its main story pretty well within fifty-two episodes. Most of the characters had solid development and great personalities. The first two OVAs worked well with concluding the last few volumes of the manga. I personally could have done without Eikoden since the story was much weaker and Mayo annoyed the heck out of me. Still, at least the final scene of Eikoden was cute and worked as a nice way to finally end the series.

Let's see if I can do this
Too Much
Dragon Ball Z: Yeah, wasn't really a fan of the fillers and the whole Frieza fight.
Inuyasha- When the hell did you plan on killing Naraku? When were you going to wrap up InuyashaxKagome and SangoxMiroku love stories? That's right you didn't.
Naruto- the fillers were hell and I actually fell out of it during a filler arc.
Too Little:
Berserk: While it did end at a good point at where the manga was, I felt like Berserk could have been adapted more, that is as long as that later adaptation comes in later in life like when Miura finishes the series.
Ouran- and I was starting to like it, really 26 episodes felt short for a series like this.
Ponyo- I just felt like the ending was rushed and more could have been added on.
Just Right:
Gurren Lagann- I actually enjoyed how this series ended.
Fullmetal Alchemist- I like the original Anime ending and how they handled and put a new spin on the series while the manga was still running.
Eden of the East- pretty good for something that had 12 episodes, and I'm looking forward to the movies as well.

Here's the other thing though, whenever Goku would search for the Dragonballs, he had conflict. He was strong and could fly in the Frieza saga, but there was so many obstacles against him, that he had trouble getting the dragonballs.
They will when said series STOPS being a cash cow. The anime is still one of the highest rated on Japanese TV and most of the time the movies are among the highest grossing movies in Japanese theaters (a couple of them only got defeated by Ghibli movies).
As for DBZ, I actually think the Cell Games Saga ended the series a lot better than the Freeza saga would've. All the characters actually did something, the animation was much better, the outfits were worlRAB better, the fights were more entertaining, the bad guys were better, and the ending gave us a ton of closure and would've been a perfect series ender.
Oh yea, and SSJ2 Gohan.
All the saga was missing was some Kaio-ken goodness.

It's just that the idea of a Super Saiyan being legendary and rare was run over a thousand times after the Freiza arc.
It was plausible for Goku to reach it, because he was the "Legendary Super Saiyan" (don't even mention the movie exclusive Broly, it just makes things even worse.), but then everybody and their dog reached the point later on in the series, and then there were further Super Saiyan forms... While they seemed quite cool back when I was in my early teens, now it is just ridiculous. The special title of Super Saiyan was destroyed a hundred times over.
Even with the mix of human blood that supposedly strengthened Gohan, reaching Super Saiyan 2 is just still too much. Perhaps Gohan and Vegeta were both deserving of strengthening up... That's why I think it should have ended beforehand. The only way to go was to go up, and going up just made little sense. Not to even get started on Super Saiyan 3...
Plus I loved Freiza as a villain, I loved how much he tied in with Goku's dad and the Saiyan's past and how much you had to hate him, and how awesome it was when Goku went Super Saiyan and kicked his butt. lol DBZ was not perfect at that point, but it made a whole lot more sense, and felt like it was the ending of the Dragon Ball story. The later arcs just feel like they were tacked on.
