I disagree. It is a good starter Anime though. It's still in my top ten but not my favorite. That rotates between Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Baby Steps depending on my mood. Other favourites include One Piece, Hunter X Hunter, One Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Overlord.
It's kinda funny. Even though Dragonball is considered the father of modern shounen and a definer of many tropes in the genre, it was apparently meant to be a parody of shounen shows that preceded it.
