For me, Dragon Ball and Pokemon were the stepping stones into the manga series. Toonami 4 lyfe.

Dragon ball is the father of all manga like it or not , whoever disagrees is clearly hating , you wouldn't be wanking what you read if it wasn't for DB .

Not even close. Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, FMA, are all manga's that don't have DB as their main inspiration - or infact an inspiration at all.

What the hell are you talking about ? I'm taking about how DB was a worldwide sensation & got the manga/anime world out there .

Dragon Ball inspired Kishi therefore Naruto wouldn't be the same without Dragon Ball therefore it is the Father

Dragon Ball is overall, an overrated show. It's impactful, but when it comes to quality, there's others that shit on it.

Hunter x hunter inspired Naruto more. If it weren't for DB then the only real difference would be less anime cliches and we wouldn't have Madara, Naruto and Obito glowing and floating around like fairies.

I know i know , but when it comes to the father is DBZ , unless you have another manga that was as popular worldwide as DB/DBZ , like I said , you might not like it , but that's not the point here , DBZ is not even on my tops .

or we can just have diff. opinions

Of course .

The thing is thought DBZ is trumped in almost every area. It's really not that special, it's fame just came by coincidence. Any manga can become like that if comes at the right time or context.

Best anime? Bebop. TTGL. Death Note.

Most influential? Astro Boy. Akira. Hunter x hunter.

Most famous? Naruto. One Piece. Death Note again.

eh.

I would've seen and read the other manga's I mentioned without the need of DB. I highly doubt DB is the main reason anime is as big as it is. There were ones before that were known.

While Death Note is really good, would it really be in the most famous? I mean, there's a reason Naruto/OP/Bleach are referred to as the Big Three.

Dragonball was better in story than DBZ, but together they're what have led to many of the anime and manga we watch and read today. There are many that came before that led to Dragonball's creation, but there are many, many artist who cite DB as their inspiration.

It may not be the best story wise, given there are much better anime that have followed, but it helped pave the way for a lot of the series we have today.

In this country it is anyway, people who don't even really get what anime is have a general awareness of Death Note in my experience. But yeah, Bleach applies just the same.

All these people saying dragon ball,well I respect your opinion,I am pretty sure most of them haven't really read the Manga itself and just watched anime.
For me,it's like this. I don't know if it's true or not,but this is what I read somewhere on the similar topic.

DBZ - Father of all anime. Because it's this anime which shattered the backbone of American cartoon industry,in a way,in 20th century and rocked it's departure. It made Japanese anime popular outside Japan to great length,something no other anime was able to do. Dragon Ball Z, is also highly popular in various countries and was arguably one of the most influential in boosting the popularity of Japanese animation in Western culture.

Naruto - Father of all manga. It was in a sense that this manga that made the "Manga",in general,very popular outside Japan. It is out there in more than 80 countries around the globe,I think the only manga to reach to such level of popularity.

So in a way,For me,they both are.

Without DBZ Naruto would not exist. Naruto is basically a tribute to DBZ
